Inadequate Maintenance
Once you’re done with a fire alarm installation, it is easy to get overconfident in the safety your system provides and forget about regular maintenance. However, negligence is a common cause of failures in your fire alarm system. Timely inspection, testing, and preventive maintenance done by certified experts, such as the team at Phoenix Pacific, will keep you in legal compliance and help you identify and avoid software failures, clogged detectors, dead batteries, and more.
Equipment Deterioration
The equipment of your fire alarm system is bound to suffer wear and tear from time to time, which in the long run, causes your system to malfunction. Ambient influences such as dirt, debris, vandalism, and even inclement weather or lightning strikes can damage components such as circuit boards, batteries, sensors, speakers, and more. A licensed technician from Phoenix Pacific can identify which part of your system is not working properly and help you fix the issue quickly.
Wiring Degradation
Over time, the wire that connects fire alarm devices will degrade or be tampered with. Environmental exposure can cause wire to rust or become brittle, rodents might chew through wire, and uninformed contractors, employees, or occupants can accidentally cut wires they weren’t meant to touch. A professional technician has methods for hunting down these broken or disconnected wires and can, in many instances, repair the connections.
Communication Faults
Many modern fire alarm systems are connected to the outside world, most commonly for fire alarm monitoring but also as part of a building management system. Failure to communicate with the outside world will cause a Trouble signal on the fire alarm system until the communication is restored, which can be done by a professional like those at Phoenix Pacific.
