AOV Systems

Regular System Inspections

• Check that all vents open and close correctly.
• Test manual control points and switches to ensure reliable functionality.
• Assess the system’s response to alarm triggers and smoke detection activation.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Clean vents and mechanisms thoroughly to prevent blockages.
• Lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth and efficient operation.

Electrical System Inspections

• Inspect wiring and electrical connections for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
• Test control panels and verify that backup power systems (if installed) are functioning properly.

Smoke Detection and Alarm Testing

• Ensure that smoke detectors, heat sensors, and fire alarm components trigger the AOV system during a fire emergency.

System Calibration and Adjustment

• Adjust system settings to optimise the operation of vents based on your building's specific ventilation requirements (e.g., determining how long the vents stay open for smoke extraction).

Regulatory Compliance and Certification

• Following maintenance, ensure that the system complies with relevant fire safety standards (e.g., BS 7346) and update certifications as required.

For professional AOV system maintenance and servicing, trusted contractors such as Electrofire Group Ltd or other specialists can ensure your system remains fully compliant and operational at all times.
