FAQ (4)

What should as-fitted drawings show, and why do they matter?

General

They must reflect what was actually installed — device positions, addresses, zone boundaries, cable routes and interfaces — not the design intent from before the site changed everything. Update them at handover and after every modification. On service and fault visits they're the fastest route to a hidden junction box or an unlabelled interface; without them every callout starts with archaeology. Missing or inaccurate as-fitteds are a defect worth reporting in their own right. Standards are referenced for orientation only — always confirm requirements against the current edition of the applicable standard, the site's fire strategy and manufacturer documentation.

What is good practice for labelling fire and security assets?

General

Every panel, PSU, interface and isolation point should carry a durable label matching the site records — device references that agree with the zone chart, circuit references at the distribution board, and warning labels where isolations affect life-safety. Consistent labelling turns a 40-minute hunt into a 2-minute check, and it's what lets a relief engineer work the site safely. Replace missing labels as you find them and note systematic gaps in the service report. Standards are referenced for orientation only — always confirm requirements against the current edition of the applicable standard, the site's fire strategy and manufacturer documentation.

What makes a good fire alarm zone chart?

General

It must let a stranger — a responding fire officer or a relief engineer — find any device quickly: clear building orientation, zone boundaries that match reality, device locations and addresses, and a revision date. Update it whenever devices are added, moved or re-addressed. A zone chart that no longer matches the installation is worse than none, because people trust it. Flag an out-of-date chart as a defect in your service report. Standards are referenced for orientation only — always confirm requirements against the current edition of the applicable standard, the site's fire strategy and manufacturer documentation.

What do loop voltage checks tell me during fault finding?

General

Measured at the panel and at points around the loop, the loop voltage shows whether devices are actually receiving what the panel thinks it is delivering. A healthy loop shows close to the panel's output at the far end; a significant drop points to high-resistance joints, undersized or damaged cable, or an overloaded loop. Compare readings against the manufacturer's stated limits for the protocol, and record where you measured — a voltage figure without a location is useless on the next visit. Standards are referenced for orientation only — always confirm requirements against the current edition of the applicable standard, the site's fire strategy and manufacturer documentation.
