[Taco]

anyone know what the codes of practice are re: 6monthly/yearly inspections on intruder systems, and what checks MUST be carried out to conform to standard?

Lol,

A model pmv was in 4737. Using you co. Manual to flesh it out

Get on site, flash id badge, check against spec / on site docs, wall test, measure volts current & circuits, bells plus REM signals record in log bog ECT..

(Best I can do off a phone )

also full set test where possible, not just toggling o/p's. On larger sites where bi-annuals then document which devices are tested as you may not do 100% per visit, but must do 100% over 12m. Document any changes/shortcomings and advise of no PA's whilst you have the system on test.

Something like this:

The alarm system detailed in this design proposal will be maintained in accordance with the EN 50131-1:2004/PD6662 and DD CLC/TS 50131-7:2003 series. 2 maintenance services will be carried out per year, consisting:

A Test tamper detection

B Test setting & unsetting

C Check entry & exit procedures

D Test power supply & circuits

E Test operation of detectors

F Operation of warning devices

G Test operation of ATE
