Testing and maintenance of system controls shall be performed by competent, qualified personnel having
jurisdiction over this protective signaling system.
This system may contain detection zones which are assigned to trip release solenoids and/or equipment shut-
down. As a deterrent to accidental activation of the release system, the control card module for systems so
equipped does not have a system test (alarm simulate) button.
Testing zones with solenoid release circuits and equipment shutdown contacts may be accomplished by use
of a jumper wire across the detection/initiating circuit field wiring terminals only after all the solenoid dis-
connect switches on the release modules are depressed to the disconnect (down) position and all equipment
shutdown contacts are bypassed.

The Protectowire Co. Inc. designs and manufactures fire protection systems to meet both UL and FM Global
criteria for electrical transients introduced on both the power supply side of the system and into the panel
from field wiring for initiating device circuits, notification applaince circuits, and other external field routed
wiring.
Fire protection systems located in areas subject to lightning strikes, or subject to other severe transients, and
electromagnetic interference, should be protected similar to computers and other electronic systems with
supplemental surge and filter protection both on the power supply side and on the field wiring for initiating
device circuits, notification appliance circuits and other field routed wiring.
Please refer to surge/filter manufacturers, (eg. DITEK 800-753-2345, www.ditekcorp.com) to specify
devices for your particular conditions. The National Lightning Safety Institute (www.LightningSafety.com)
also provides valuable information regarding the problems and solutions of providing lightning protection
including assuring true earth ground conditions.
Lightning strikes, other severe power surges, and EMI/RFI interference, by their nature, are beyond normal
design criteria and are outside the warranty for manufacturing defects.
