A fire detection and alarm system is one asset with hundreds of parts and five service cycles. Maintenance Partners puts the panel, its zones, its devices and the occupant warning system on the register with the AS 1851 Section 6 programme they answer to, opens the right form for the cycle that is due, keeps every reading and result on the system's own history, and turns a failed device into a defect and a quote without re-keying. Included at $150 per user per month ex GST.
Systems installed to AS 1670.1 are serviced under AS 1851 Section 6 on monthly, six-monthly, yearly, five-yearly and ten-yearly cycles, with the emergency warning system on its own monthly and yearly schedule. The system carries that programme, so a yearly falling near a monthly becomes one visit and completing it resets every cycle beneath.
Panel condition, the external alarm and brigade indicator, an alarm simulated and the response confirmed including occupant warning, isolation functions, zone block plans and baseline data present and legible, and the alarm signalling to monitoring proved. In Queensland the monthly test by a qualified person is a regulatory requirement, and the record proves it was done.
System logic against the approved design at six months. At the yearly service every manual call point and panel control, the detectors function-tested on the schedule in AS 1851 Appendix G, occupant warning audibility, battery condition and capacity, and the survey for building changes that would leave a detector in the wrong place.
Speaker circuit, supervision and monitoring link items at five years and detector sensitivity items at ten, each on the system's record with the date it was last done, so the long intervals are visits the schedule generates rather than items nobody remembers.
The emergency warning and intercom system has its own monthly function checks and yearly full test including evacuation tones, public address and warden intercom. It sits on the same register, on its own schedule, in the same app.
The approved design parameters and the zone block plan the monthly check confirms are present belong on the system's record, and a missing one is a non-conformance the register can show. What the standard requires you to keep.
Alarm and system currents and battery results are captured against the asset, so a drift shows up as a trend on the system's history rather than a figure on a sheet in a folder.
An inoperative panel or impaired alarm signalling is a critical defect: flagged before the technician leaves the site and recorded on the system. Replacement quoted from the inspection record, approved from the emailed link, invoiced to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online. Defect quoting.
Who can test alarm panels is recorded per technician and enforced at scheduling time, so the monthly test is done by someone whose competency the record can show. Competency tracking.
The annual test that an alarm actually releases the doors, shuts down the air handling and starts what it should is a record across several systems. On one register it is one job with the evidence on each asset it touched.
Flow switches, alarm valves and pump starts that the alarm system depends on are on the same register with their own programme. Sprinkler and hydrant inspection software.
Fire control rooms and risers rarely have signal. The field app carries a full replica of the technician's work on the device, so the inspection runs and syncs later. The MP Connect field app.
Every monthly and yearly result feeds the annual fire safety statement or the state equivalent from the live record, with open defects called out before the owner signs. The compliance engine.
Under AS 1851-2012 Section 6, fire detection and alarm systems are serviced monthly, six-monthly, yearly, five-yearly and ten-yearly, and the emergency warning system monthly and yearly. The monthly service includes simulating an alarm and proving the signal to the monitoring provider; the yearly service covers manual call points, detectors, occupant warning and batteries. The AS 1851 maintenance schedules guide.
The software opens the yearly form with the detector testing the standard's Appendix G schedule calls for and records each device tested on the system's history, so the register shows which devices have been function-tested and when. The sampling and rotation rules come from the standard, and the record proves they were followed.
An inoperative panel or impaired alarm signalling is a critical defect under AS 1851: the responsible entity is told before the technician leaves the site and in writing within 24 hours. In the software the defect is flagged critical on the system's record the moment it is logged, the office sees it on the dashboard, and the rectification is quoted from the same record. Defect classes explained.
Yes. The emergency warning and intercom system is on the register with its own monthly and yearly programme under Section 6, and its results sit alongside the detection system's.
