Warranty maintenance most often covers equipment and installation work. As a rule, the warranty is one year from the date of completion of the installation of the alarm. If equipment breakdown occurs not due to improper use, the manufacturer recognizes this case as a warranty, and replacement of equipment is made free of charge. However, damage to equipment due to improper use, flooding of the system, power surges does not apply to warranty cases.

Maintenance and audit of fire alarm and warning systems is one of the most demanded areas of our work. Focusing on a comprehensive format of turnkey cooperation, we check and service OPS systems of any complexity and configuration for offices, enterprises, residential buildings, warehouses, public premises, shopping and entertainment complexes.

APS: basic information

Automatic fire alarm system (APS) is a complex of electrical installations and special equipment mounted at a residential or non-residential facility and remotely controlled from a fire post. The main purpose of such security systems is the timely detection of fire, smoke and other signs of fire. In addition, the automated APS performs other functions.

Transmission of notification of detected problems and activation of warning alarms.

Sending appropriate commands to turn on automatic extinguishing and anti-smoke protection systems.

Managing the procedure for evacuating people from an object where signs of fire or smoke are found.

A standard MTA includes the following components.

• Automatic detectors (heat / smoke detectors).
• Manual (forced) detectors, panic buttons.
• Fire alarm control device for receiving and processing detector signals and the subsequent supply of information to the monitoring consoles.
• Warning systems: light (warning lights) or sound sirens.
• Light indicators for evacuation, which are powered from a backup power supply.
• Additional and optional components (perimeter sensors, relay units, GSM modules, redundant power supplies, voice annunciators, etc.)

Our services and prices

Please note: when concluding a comprehensive contract with our company for the supply, installation and commissioning of security systems, as well as self-purchase of equipment in the online store "SEREZHEM.RU", all support service consultations are provided free of charge.

Diagnostics and service maintenance of APS and warning and evacuation control systems (SOUE)

Maintenance of substation and warning systems can be both routine and unscheduled urgent (in the event of failures, breakdowns, failure of one or another fire-fighting equipment at the facility). The frequency of scheduled checks depends on the specific service work: a number of modules and systems need revision and repair / modernization every 6 months, while other installations may require checking once a month or every week.

According to the order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations No. 292, routine checks of fire alarms at facilities are carried out at least once every 6 months. In most cases, the complex system is checked once a month.

Based on the results of the inspection, the specialist draws up an appropriate act, in which he indicates the physical address of the object, the type of APS used, the methods used during the audit, as well as a conclusion on the state of readiness of the alarm for fire. If checked by government agencies, the act must be provided together with the APS maintenance log.

Scheduled service includes the following work.

• Visual inspection of sensors and other system modules for mechanical damage. Checking the integrity of factory seals.
• Cleaning system elements from any contamination.
• Checking the integrity and serviceability of electrical equipment and fittings (switches, terminals, wires, fuses, etc.)
• Testing the performance of light and sound indicators and annunciators.
• Grounding check.
• Replacement of elements damaged by corrosion products and other unfavorable external factors.
• Software test, its setup.
• Verification of voltage and current data at the facility.
• Elimination of all identified faults.
• Assessment of battery life and performance.
• Complex or selective tests.

Our company has all the necessary permits (including a license from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as well as certificates of self-regulating organizations of builders and design organizations). This allows the automatic fire alarm and warning systems to be maintained in accordance with all technical standards.

What affects the cost of MTA maintenance

After the fire alarm is put into operation, the main question becomes about its correct operation. This requires constant supervision of specialists with maintenance.

Their actions are aimed at eliminating malfunctions of elements of a complex system and ensuring the appropriate triggering of the signal in the event of emergency situations.

Maintenance of fire alarms is an important procedure that requires the maintenance of appropriate documentation.

Responsibility for preventive and repair measures is borne by the head of the objects of protection or the head of the serviced organization.

Maintenance entitlement

Maintenance of fire alarm systems and automatic installations is carried out by a certain organization, which has permission from the Ministry of Emergencies.

The customer has the right to choose a company that carried out the installation of the equipment and commissioning, or contact any third-party company with the same responsibilities.

As a rule, these are self-regulatory organizations of the SRO in the field of fire safety. The main thing is that the competence of the employees is not in doubt.

The parties conclude an agreement in which they must indicate the requirements:

1. possible access to the elements of the fire safety system;
2. the period of validity of the services provided;
3. the cyclical nature of preventive maintenance, including repairs.

Fire alarm service - the contract for the provision of services is under the control of the State Fire Supervision. The result of the activities of the company or SRO are regulatory documents - protocols, statements, journals, inspection reports containing a report on the activities.

Basic actions

The activities of a competent organization are conditionally divided into groups:

• The production process at the enterprise requires a responsible approach. Therefore, after installing the fire protection, the company's specialists instruct the personnel who will be responsible for the safety of workplaces.
• Provision of technical assistance in the operation of equipment.
• Repair of devices is carried out in accordance with the warranty service agreement.
• Scheduled inspection of fire alarm installations.
• Checking the documents that indicate the rules of maintenance.
• Drawing up recommendations, which may include the write-off, repair of out-of-order equipment or an increase in its service life. Records are entered into the "Defective list".

Required Documentation

The facilities where the fire systems are serviced must have the necessary documents.

Here's what's on the list:

1. design and estimate documentation for construction production of a fire protection complex;
2. agreement with licensed firms or SROs;
3. repair schedule;
4. maintenance log, repairs;
5. list of installed security and fire alarm systems;
6. certificates of commissioning of the installation and acceptance of the work performed;
7. operating instructions for automation and control systems;
8. working personnel shift schedule;
9. fire-fighting equipment malfunction log;
10. operational passports of equipment;
11. job descriptions of personnel and external employees of the enterprise.

Normative calculations

The regulation of work aimed at servicing the fire alarm presupposes a certain frequency and requirements for the implementation of actions.

This is due to the fact that the sensors have intricate sensitive circuits. The penetration of dust, steam, cigarette smoke or small particles is fraught with the failure of important elements of the system. Loss of serviceability of the detectors leads to a general malfunction of devices and dramatically reduces the degree of security in the room.

The procedure for conducting events is reflected in the document on industry standards. Terms of execution may change by agreement of the parties. This requires a justification associated with the special operating conditions of the components of the fire alarm system.

If individual technical devices are not reflected in the document, the customer and the contractor can individually determine the procedure for their maintenance. This takes into account the necessary requirements prescribed in the technical documentation in accordance with the standards of GOST.

Regulatory document - GOST on maintenance of fire systems

For high-rise buildings there is a separate regulation and standards specified in the Instruction, which determines the repair and maintenance rules of the fire alarm system. Crowded properties are subject to monthly checks. Small industrial premises are supposed to service the fire-fighting complex once a quarter.

Deadlines

The technical regulations provide for a certain time interval for the maintenance of the fire alarm system.

Every day you need to perform the following actions:

• visual inspection of escape routes, protective equipment and important signaling elements: detectors, detectors, communication loops, controllers for the presence of dirt and mechanical damage;
• checking the performance of the detectors, the integrity of the factory seals of the control and monitoring devices, the position of the switch levers, in accordance with GOST standards.

Every week, employees of a company or a self-regulatory organization (SRO) check the state of the low-current systems connection to the power grid, test the battery backup charge. After inspection, alarms are tested twice a year in order to identify weaknesses.

Testing is done in two ways:

1. Full check of the security complex with simulated fire. The immediate reaction of the sirens to the threat is important here.
2. A random check allows you to control the operation of the sensors included in the alarm system in certain areas of the facility. The technique involves an artificial increase in temperature, imitation of smoke or fires. The action is selected depending on the type of sensor. The tests are analogous to real situations, therefore, the malfunction of the elements is determined with high accuracy. If necessary, experts recommend replacing the equipment.

The planned inspection at the enterprise is announced in advance. In the event of a threat of emergency situations, unscheduled control is required.

Every year, employees of a company that maintains security and fire alarms are required to measure grounding.

They check the condition of the insulating material once every three years. The more often the equipment is checked, the more efficiently it works. Troubleshooting is a necessary procedure that can save lives in a fire.

Expertise results

The service company or SRO organization, based on the results of checking the operability of the fire alarm, draws up an appropriate act.

It contains information:

• the address of the location of the object;
• the date of the examination;
• persons included in the commission;
• device type;
• methods used and requirements;
• the state of the fire protection system;
• conclusion on the readiness of the signal to be triggered in emergency situations;
• additions to the document;
• individual information about the participants in test events with an indication of their position.

The act, drawn up in two copies, is certified by the controlling service. It is signed by the head of the enterprise. During the next inspection, the act must be presented together with the maintenance log for the fire protection system.

How to keep a log of routine events

Maintenance of security and fire alarm systems at each stage of the check must be recorded.

The data, taking into account the standards of GOST, are entered into the "Journal of registration of works on maintenance and repair of automatic fire extinguishing installations". The parties to the contract keep the same documents.

Periodically, independent regulatory authorities check the records to ensure they match. The numbered pages, stitching and seals of both sides attest to the integrity of the records.

The routine maintenance accounting document contains information:

1. safety briefing during equipment operation;
2. the date of turning off and turning on the equipment when repairs are carried out;
3. complete neutralization of the complex during preventive measures with the notification of the State Fire Supervision Authorities;
4. record when maintenance is completed. It ends with the phrase: "The system was handed over to the Customer in good working order for subsequent work in automatic mode."

Order cost

An organization that has the right to service a fire alarm independently determines the pricing policy of services. The cost calculation is associated with the use of a tariff grid and a whole list of coefficient indicators.

The final price depends on the main factors:

• The total area of ​​the rooms where the fire alarm is used. The smaller the size, the larger the calculation for 1m 2.
• The number of workers in production facilities.
• The type and structure of the overall system.
• Service type.

Many expert organizations offer comprehensive plant maintenance services, including video surveillance and access control management. They can be cheaper. There is an option to include a fire safety engineer on the staff of the enterprise.

The calculation of the cost of services is indicated in the commercial proposal after the technical specifications are completed. Fire safety audit is organized voluntarily at the enterprise.

Video: Infographics on the procedure for servicing a fire alarm

Automatic low-current systems fail for various reasons, creating a dangerous situation for protected objects. The company carries out technical inspection and scheduled repairs of APS and SOUE in civil and industrial buildings, taking into account the adjacent infrastructure, to prevent emergencies and emergency situations.

What does the service of APS and SOUE include

Periodic inspection of the fire alarm and integrated warning system is required at every facility where these low voltage networks are installed. Equipment and components gradually wear out or become obsolete, reducing the target efficiency.

Preventive maintenance aims to:

1. Prevention of malfunctions of warning systems and assistance in evacuation.
2. Planned restoration and repair work.

Regular maintenance must be carried out both in the warranty and post-warranty periods. Technical measures maintain a long-term and stable functional state of automated fire-fighting systems.

The need for specialized service is due to the appointment of AUPS and SOUE. If the fire extinguishing installation and evacuation control does not work properly, people do not have time to properly respond to the emerging emergency. In the absence of timely notification, a fire can become tragic, spread to property and cause irreparable material damage.

Basis for maintenance

The set of maintenance activities is regulated by the RF Resolution No. 390 of 04/25/2012 (as amended on 03/07/2019).

According to clause 61, the manager or other official acting as the manager is obliged to ensure:

• Regular inspection and performance check of APS and SOUE.
• Maintenance and preventive maintenance (PPR).

A preventive examination is carried out 1 time in the reporting quarter, with the execution of a normative act confirming the results of the inspection. The frequency of activities within the framework of maintenance and repair is established by the annual schedule, which is drawn up when developing a project for low-current systems.

Deliberate avoidance of obligations or fictitious conclusion of a contract are prosecuted by the State Fire Inspection and are subject to penalties.

RD 009.01-96 specifies the requirements for service organizations and customers. In accordance with the regulatory documents, only licensed organizations accredited by the Ministry of Emergency Situations are entitled to carry out service work. They are performed only by highly specialized engineers of low-current systems and certified electricians.

Cost of TO APS and SOUE

The total cost of a set of measures for government organizations (municipal and other facilities) is determined by a tender.

The price of services for the maintenance and preventive maintenance of low-voltage systems for commercial enterprises is calculated taking into account a number of factors:

• The cost of each specific type of work.
• Estimated costs of purchasing materials.
• The complexity of the work (hard-to-reach arrangement of elements, work at night).

For each customer, we offer an accurate and objective cost estimate, taking into account the specifics of design and installation.
