Commissioning
1 Contact the responsible person to authorise a flow-switch test.
2 Ensure the Zonecheck red and green valves are both open.
3 Attach a barrel nipple and hosepipe to yellow vent valve on the Zonecheck.
4 Turn the key-switch to SELF TEST.
5 Carefully open the vent valve on the Zonecheck unit until only water is being expelled
(this can take up to 10 minutes).
6 Turn the key-switch to STANDBY.
7 Close vent valve, remove the barrel nipple and hose and replace plug.
8 Now connect the barrel nipple and hose pipe to the test valve at the furthest point on
the zone or use the test/drain valve provided on the Zonecheck unit.
9 Discharge water through the hose (this is a once only commissioning test).
10 Wait for the FLOW-SWITCH ACTIVATED to illuminate on the key-switch (this could
take up to 30 seconds).
11 Close the test/drain valve.
12 Turn the Zonecheck Key-switch to SELF TEST and check the PUMP RUNNING and
FLOW-SWITCH ACTIVATED LEDs are illuminated (this could take up to 30 seconds).
13 Confirm the test signal has been received at the fire alarm panel.
14 Turn the Key-switch key to STANDBY.
15 If the zone valve is wired to key-switch, check function of VALVE FAULT LED on the
key-switch, which should illuminate when valve is not in the fully open position.
16 Ensure that the end user is instructed on how to carry out a routine test and explain
procedure for when VALVE FAULT LED is illuminated (if connected).
17 Fix operating instructions to wall, preferably next to the key-switch. Also place the
Zonecheck Isolation valve location sticker in a suitable position to let others know
where the unit is.
18 Fill in & hand over a completion certificate. Make sure that the responsible person has
been made aware that the system is back online.
