EAC Fire & Security recently carried out a fire and security system takeover at a former RU Secure site in Swanage.
With R U Secure no longer trading, the customer needed a reliable local company to take over the ongoing maintenance, servicing and support of their existing fire and security systems.
Our team attended site to inspect the existing systems, diagnose faults, complete the routine servicing and make sure the fire alarm, intruder alarm, emergency lighting and fire extinguishers were all checked properly.
Fire Alarm Fault Finding and Six-Monthly Inspection
On arrival, the fire alarm panel was showing a fault. Before carrying out the routine inspection, our engineer investigated the issue to find the cause.
The fault was traced to a faulty diode in a detector base located within the void area. Once this fault was diagnosed and resolved, the panel was cleared and the system could be tested properly.
We then carried out the six-monthly fire alarm test and inspection to check the system was operating correctly.
EAC Fire & Security provides professional fire alarm servicing, fault finding, maintenance and repairs for commercial premises, retail units and managed properties.
Emergency Lighting Annual Discharge Test
As part of the visit, we also completed the annual emergency lighting discharge test.
Emergency lighting is an important part of fire safety, helping people safely exit a building if the normal lighting fails during an emergency.
The annual discharge test was completed and there were no failures to report.
We also provide ongoing emergency lighting testing and maintenance for businesses and commercial premises across Dorset.
Fire Extinguisher Annual Service
The fire extinguishers on site were also serviced as part of the takeover works.
During the annual fire extinguisher service, our engineer checked the condition, location and service requirements of the extinguishers throughout the premises.
One unit was noted as being due an overhaul test. We will be returning to replace this unit to keep the site compliant and properly protected.
EAC Fire & Security can help with fire extinguisher servicing, replacements, new extinguishers and ongoing fire safety maintenance.
Intruder Alarm Takeover and Battery Replacement
We also completed a takeover service of the intruder alarm system.
During testing, the backup battery was found to be under 65% capacity. A weak backup battery can affect how an alarm system performs during a power cut, so this was replaced with a new battery.
Once the battery had been replaced, routine inspections were completed and the intruder alarm system was left healthy.
We carry out intruder alarm servicing, takeovers, repairs and upgrades for existing alarm systems across Swanage, Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset.
