Test Of The Automatic Start Of The Diesel Pump; Periodic Tests; Residual Risks During Facility Management - Wilo SiFire Easy Série Notice De Montage Et De Mise En Service

d) Check the oil pressure of the diesel pump and the
cooling circuit water flow;
CAUTION! Risk of malfunction of the pump!
Always fill-up fuel and other fluids after per-
forming the tests.

9.3 Test of the automatic start of the diesel pump

After testing the start, diesel engines must be
tested as follows:
a) Let the motor run for 20 min or for the time
recommended by the supplier. Then stop the
engine and immediately restart it by using the
test button 'manual start';
b) Control the water level in the primary cooling
circuit.
During the test, you must check the oil pressure,
the engine temperature and the coolant flow.
Then control the oil hoses and make a general
check to detect any possible fuel, coolant or
exhaust smoke leakage.

9.4 Periodic tests

MONTHLY INSPECTIONS
Control level and density of the electrolyte of all
lead storage battery cells (including diesel engine
starting batteries and batteries used for the
switchgear's power supply). If the density is low,
check the battery charger and if it is correctly
working, replace the battery in the case of failure.
QUARTERLY INSPECTIONS
To be performed every 13 weeks at the latest.
An inspection report must be recorded, signed and
handed over to the end-user.. This must include
details of each procedure carried out or planned,
details of external factors, such as weather condi-
tions, which could have influenced the results.
Check the pipes and supports to check the possi-
ble corrosion points and protect them where it is
necessary.
Check the pipes for correct earth connection.
Sprinkler pipes cannot be used for electrical earth
connection. Remove all these connections and
implement an alternative solution.
Check each water supply on each control station
of the system. The pump(s) should start automat-
ically, the pressure values and measured flow can-
not be less than that reported values on the
project. Each change must be recorded.
Check all valves that supply sprinklers with water
to ensure that they are working. Then return them
to their normal running position. Realise the same
operation for all the water supply valves, the con-
trol and alarm valves and all local or auxiliary
valves.
Check and control the amount and packaging of
spare parts that are in stock.
Installation and operating instructions Wilo-SiFire Easy
SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
To be performed every 6 months.
Check the alarm system and messages of the
remote alarm system to the central supervision.
YEARLY INSPECTIONS
To be performed every 12 months at the latest.
Test the efficiency of each pump when fully
loaded (with the connection between the test
pipes to the pump discharge) to control if values
of pressure / flow correspond with those indicated
on the pump's rating plate.
Consider any pressure losses in the supply pipes
and in the valves between the water source and
each control station.
Test a diesel engine start failure, then check that
an alarm in accordance with standards is working.
After this control, immediately restart the diesel
engine by using the manual starting procedures.
Check if the float valves in the storage tanks are
working correctly.
Check the strainers on the pump suction and
deposit tank of filtration accessories. Clean them
if necessary.
3-YEAR INSPECTIONS
To be performed every 3 years.
After draining all tanks, check the outside and
inside for corrosion. If necessary, all tanks must be
painted or, protection against corrosion must be
applied again.
Examine all the water supply valves, alarm and
control valves. If necessary, replace them or main-
tain them.
10-YEAR INSPECTIONS
To be performed every 10 years
The inside of all water supplies should be cleaned
and examined. Tightness must be checked.
Concerning the review process or replacement of
damaged parts of the entire system, which no
longer perfectly work, contact the Wilo service or
a specialised centre.
Refer to the detailed maintenance operations
indicated in the manual delivered with the unit.
Always replace the equipment with an original
spare part or a certified spare part with identical
characteristics.
Wilo excludes any liability for damage caused by
intervention of unskilled personnel or by replacing
original spare parts by other parts with different
characteristics.

9.5 Residual risks during facility management

WARNING! Risk of cuts!
Sharp edges or any not protected threaded parts
entail the risk of getting cut. Take necessary
cautions to avoid injuries and use protective
equipment (wear specific gloves).
WARNING! Risk of impact injury!
Be careful of prominent parts and height. Wear
special protection clothing.
