This is what we use

Do you really do all those checks for every maintenance reidy?

Check bell delay(if programmed) and shut off times

on every maintenance?

I wonder how many check every tamper circuit/

That's the form we got from the NSI, so I guess that's what they think we should be doing

just out of curiosity how many actually check tampers on all devices during a routine maintenance.

Never checked all tampers but more than often checked some. Bell delay done on full set check.

Why do you ask anyway?

i asked because every maintenance sheet i have ever seen always has that on it.

if we were to check all tampers we wouldnt get as many calls done and im sure cause more problems then when we started

The same will bell cut off timers.

im sure the majority of engineers never test that feature and just rely on there judgement taking into account the age and condition of the bell in general.

I concur - checking all tampers could cause more problems.

Indeed, i just ping a random sensor. If you start opening all PIR's, that's a guaranteed call out later that night

depends on size, complexity & risk.

tamper wise, tend to rotate selected each visit. using fsl is an advantage.

How is using fsl an advantage ?

the tamper could still be disconnected inside the detector can it not

It could but it should have been checked on commissioning of the system and if its set up for engineer/anti code no one can open a device without you knowing.

OLd enough to remember 9500 lims.Would not advise checking tampers on them each visit !
