100% Water Saving Code Compliant Testing Simplicity of Testing Less System Corrosion

A closed loop system that re-circulates water to simulate without discharging water

Zonecheck is a sustainable solution for sprinkler system ow-switch testing, that can cut costs and save time when carrying out mandatory tests.
The NFPA 25 Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water Based Fire Protection Systems, mandates wet re sprinkler system ow switches must be tested on a quarterly basis.
For these, and other reasons it is sometimes ignored and the standards are contravened. Flow switches installed in a sprinkler system are required to be tested on a quarterly basis, and for that test to be valid,

The unique Zonecheck and inexpensively. is installed or located on the system. Zonecheck normal functioning of the building. No issues with the Fire Services No additional manpower required Reduced corrosion

The Functional Principle

The Zonecheck solution is simply to connect a

this time without any loss of water from the system.

Zonecheck simply re-circulates the existing static pressure), creating a closed system with no water discharge.

Addressable Technology
In response to the ever-increasing size and complexities of modern buildings, coupled with demand for developed Zonecheck Addressable. Zonecheck Addressable allows users to fully comply with the codes for the routine testing of system The system utilises digital communication between connected Zonecheck Addressable units and a central Control Panel via a single loop of cable. The Control Panel facilitates the remote operation of any connected Zonecheck Addressable unit, with the resulting information being returned to the panel.

Zonecheck

100% Water Saving

With Zonecheck there is no unnecessary discharge of water. Typically with 4 tests required per annum, Zonecheck saves 1280 litres of water per annum for each is not replaced during testing, pipe corrosion is also reduced.

The new build Zonecheck is factory assembled and tested complete with rolled ends for simple site installation in new buildings.

and lower costs

pumps to be operated and manually switched of after each test. Zonecheck creates a closed loop required to operate. With Zonecheck, as no water is discharged, testing is easy, takes less time and requires no additional manpower.

The latest version of Zonecheck has been developed to incorporate a single addressable loop of cable to interconnect with a central control panel.

Zonecheck Prewired

A factory wired and tested Zonecheck for easier site installation and reducing installation costs.

Zonecheck Live

Zonecheck live has been engineered to simplify See www.gvi ow.com/livetap

Reduced life cycle carbon footprint

Testing with Zonecheck is quicker requiring less resources (water and electricity) substantially reducing the carbon footprint of maintaining a sprinkler system.

Permits installation of Zonecheck to existing

Installation

Zonecheck connects into a wet-pipe sprinkler system using two mechanical couplings (sized to match pipe diameter). Approved zonecheck equipment shall be installed throughout the property in accordance with the code standards for zoning.

Standards

In the majority of multi-occupancy sprinklered premises it is a requirement of NFPA 25 that for every tted ow-switch a functional test should be carried out every quarter. Zonecheck can carry out this ow-switch test automatically at a preset time each week. Zonecheck is currently approved by Factory Mutual, Underwriters Laboratories, Underwriters Laboratories Canada.

Operating Principle
The Zonecheck pump re-circulates water around the ow switch at a pressure equal to one sprinkler head discharging water (0.5 bar). As water operates the ow-switch paddle, an electronic signal is sent back to the keyswitch to indicate that the ow-switch has operated correctly. Throughout the whole process water is being re-circulated within the system and no water is discharged Zonecheck is a closed system.

Technical Detail
Zonecheck is supplied as an assembled unit to minimum schedule 10 pipe. Supplied with rolled ends, an end-end distance of 25.6 with black paint nish. Zonecheck is available in the following pipe diameters: 2, 2 1/2, 3, 4.
