5.1. First power-up and Maintenance
This section describes the standard electrical and mechanical safety test that are to be
performed before powering up the DIVA8 System VACIE and on regular intervals with a
maximum of 12 months.
A: VACIE Rack & Electrical Safety Tests
• Inspect for the EN54-2 for the outside of the rack if it complies to the IP30 standards
• Inspect for EN54-16 compliance notification at the front of the rack
• Inspect for EN54-4 compliance on the charger
• Inspect on EN54-24 compliance for the loudspeakers
• Inspect in the front and back door are closed at ACCESS level 2, front door and 3, back door
• Inspect for GOOD visibility of the VACIE indicators (EN54-2)
• Inspect and measure the VACIE rack assembly earth (ground) bonding (EN54-1)
B: Amplifier Assembly
• Inspect the general physical condition of the assembly, including the terminations for loose
connections
• Inspect and check the performance of each power amplifier
• Inspect and check the condition of the back-up batteries, including recording the block voltages off
charger and conduct a discharge test to determine the maximum capacity.
• Inspect and check the operation of the charging equipment, including the fault sensing
• Inspect the stored message generator modules and check the output for the quality of reproduction,
together with correct operation within the system
• Inspect and check the input pre-amplification / mixing equipment. Record and compare the settings
with the latest recorded data. Note any deviations for investigation. Any changes made at this time to
be noted
• Inspect and check the operation of the fire panel interface, in conjunction with Clients engineer.
• Inspect and check the function of any equalization. Record and compare the settings of the controls
with the latest recorded data. Any deviations to be noted and investigated
• With the evacuation broadcast in operation utilizing a dummy load when the main speakers cannot be
used, check the output level of each power amplifier. Record and compare the results with the latest
data
• Check the system automatic fault monitoring and test by introducing faults
C: Loudspeakers
• Measure the total loudspeaker load for each circuit, record and compare with the previous
measurements. Investigate any unexpected changes
• Carry out subjective listening and audibility tests in all areas where access is not prohibited. Record
SPL levels
D: Microphone Control Units
• Inspect and check the condition as well as the correct operation of the switches/touch fields
• Inspect the physical conditions of the microphone
• Broadcast a test message, or if prohibited, use a monitor loudspeaker to access the results
subjectively
E: Spare Modules
• Inspect and check any spare modules contained in the amplifier assembly and/or held elsewhere
F: System Condition
• Cosmetic cleaning of the control and amplification equipment
G: Site Changes
• Inspect any areas which have changed since a previous (as identified by the Client) to determine the
suitability of the loudspeaker coverage in those areas
H: Log Book
