The data center industry in Jabodetabek continues to expand rapidly.
Areas such as DKI Jakarta, Bekasi, Tangerang, and Depok attract hyperscale and colocation facilities.

Data centers operate high-density IT equipment.
Continuous operation increases heat and electrical load.
These conditions elevate fire risks significantly.

Fire Detection and Alerting System VESDA provides very early smoke detection.
The system detects microscopic smoke particles before visible smoke appears.
Early alerts allow facility teams to respond immediately.

Fire Detection and Alerting System VESDA uses aspirating smoke detection technology.
It continuously draws air through a pipe network.
A laser-based detector analyzes the sampled air.

Importance of Routine Maintenance

Data centers require reliable and responsive fire protection systems.
Technicians must perform scheduled inspections and testing.
Proper maintenance ensures detection accuracy and system reliability.

Below are the detailed maintenance activities.

1. Inspect EWSD Panel

Inspect 100% of EWSD panels.
Ensure panels remain visible and accessible.
Remove dust and contaminants from the surface.
Clean panels improve monitoring efficiency.

2. Check Power Supply and Battery

Examine the power supply condition thoroughly.
Conduct battery tests on 100% of installed batteries.
Verify battery capacity against specifications.
Weak batteries may compromise backup performance.

3. Test Pipe Integrity Smoke Test with PASCV System

Perform advance smoke tests using the PASCV system.
Test 50% of sampling points during each maintenance cycle.
Ensure all sampling points receive testing within one year.
Confirm alarm activation through PASCV integration.

4. Clean Sampling Points and Flush Pipe Network

Clean dirty or blocked sampling points.
Flush the pipe network to maintain stable airflow.
Blockages can reduce smoke detection sensitivity.

5. Test All Loops

Test all detection loops completely.
Verify proper signal transmission to the panel.
Repair any loop faults immediately.

6. Inspect Pipes, Fittings, and Joints

Inspect pipes, fittings, and joints carefully.
Look for cracks or air leakage.
Minor leaks may affect airflow readings.

7. Inspect and Replace Filter

Check the detector filter condition.
Replace the filter when necessary.
Clean filters maintain optimal sensor performance.

8. Record Raw Airflow and Pipe Flow Reading

Record raw airflow readings accurately.
Document pipe flow readings for trend analysis.
Compare results with the commissioning baseline.
