You know the value of fire alarm systems in protecting lives and property - an organization may struggle or fail after a catastrophic fire. That’s why the effectiveness of a fire alarm system depends on the partner you choose for installing, monitoring, and servicing it.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM SERVICE
We Keep You Up To Code
To ensure their reliability, fire alarm systems must be inspected, tested and maintained. FSN will set up a service program for periodic testing, inspection, and maintenance that conforms to…
  • NFPA code requirements
  • Local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs)
  • System manufacturer's recommended inspection and maintenance requirements
  • Required Annual Fire Alarm System Testing

Inspection involves regular visual examination, activation, and documentation of all devices in your system, including panels, detectors, pull stations, horns, strobes, annunciators, and door holders.

Testing determines the functional status of a system. Annual procedures determine that the system operates as designed and include a test of monitoring connections. Sensitivity testing of every smoke detector in your system is required every two years.

Maintenance is work performed to keep equipment operable, including repairs. Maintenance of your fire alarm system involves regular replacement of the 24-hour backup batteries.

Recordkeeping includes logging and retention of relevant records.
