Fire Panels – Supply, Installation & Fault Finding
Fire panels are the central control hub of your building’s fire detection system. They interpret signals from smoke detectors, heat sensors, and alarms to trigger warnings and coordinate safety responses. At FCF Fire & Electrical Fraser Coast, we supply, install, service, and repair fire panels to keep your system compliant, dependable, and ready to respond when needed.
Compliance You Can Trust
Fire detection and alarm systems must meet the requirements of AS1670, which outlines how these systems should be designed, installed, and maintained. This Standard ensures alarms function reliably and work seamlessly with other safety components. Meeting AS1670 not only improves fire detection performance but also supports essential certification processes, including council and building approvals, keeping your property safe, compliant, and fully protected.

FAQs
How often should fire panels be tested or serviced?
AS 1851 requires fire panels to be inspected and tested every six months to verify that all zones, detectors, and alarm functions are working correctly. Routine servicing helps prevent false alarms, maintains system reliability, and keeps your building fully compliant with national fire safety standards.
What are the signs my fire panel needs maintenance?
Common warning signs include fault lights, constant beeping, or a blank or unresponsive screen. If your fire panel displays any type of fault or alert, contact our team immediately, ignoring these issues can compromise the performance of your entire fire safety system.
Can FCF upgrade or replace older fire panels?
Yes, we supply and install modern, networked fire panels that integrate smoothly with your existing detectors and emergency systems. Our technicians can assess your site and recommend upgrade options that align with current Australian Standards.
Do you provide compliance documentation after servicing?
Yes, after each inspection, we supply a detailed test report and compliance summary outlining what was checked, the results, and the next scheduled retest dates. These records help ensure you’re always ready for audits and certification requirements.
What happens during a fire panel inspection?
During each scheduled service, our technicians check every alarm circuit, detector zone, and manual call point to ensure they’re operating correctly. We also verify battery backup capacity, test all warning devices, and review the panel’s fault history to keep your fire system fully functional and compliant.
