This section provides procedures for maintaining and repairing the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel.
Cleaning the External Cabinet and Door
Clean the external cabinet and door of the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel with a damp cloth. Do not
clean these surfaces with detergents or solvents. Do not permit water to enter the cabinet during the cleaning process.
Testing the Releasing System
Test the releasing system periodically to confirm operation. Perform the test with the appropriate isolation measures in
place to prevent the accidental discharge of the releasing agent. Testing of the releasing system must be performed by
trained personnel.
Inspecting Batteries
Inspect the standby-batteries annually to determine the connection integrity to the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire
Control Panel. The fire control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of mains
failure. The standby-batteries have a life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. Test the standby-batteries annually in accordance
with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations to determine their suitability for continued standby operation.
Replacing Standby-Batteries
Replace standby-batteries when the service period reaches 3 to 5 years or when the low-battery indicator illuminates
on the power supply. Specify replacement batteries that are sealed-lead-acid.
Removing the Standby-Batteries
To remove the existing standby-batteries:
1 Disconnect the jumper-lead between the standby-batteries.
2 Disconnect the red-lead from the positive terminal of one standby-battery.
3 Disconnect the black-lead from the negative terminal of the other standby-battery.
4 Remove the standby-batteries from the bottom of the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel cabinet.
5 Re-cycle the standby-batteries according to manufacturer instructions.
