Fire Alarm - Weekly Testing

[Mike Buckley]

Just to add an instance, I did an FRA in a hotel who told me they had been doing the weekly check on the fire alarm. They were doing it correctly a different call point on a different floor every week. It worked fine on the ground floor one week then next week tested from the first floor, silence the panel had died! Major rush to get a new panel installed.

It does happen.

Also I thought that checking the LED on the panel was part of a daily check (unrecorded).
