Locate the main system control shutoff valve. The shutoff valve normally is the domestic water supply line, located in or near the garage.
Locate the main riser for the sprinkler system. The riser is normally in the garage, in a cabinet on the wall.
Inspect the main riser to assure that there is a water pressure. The pressure gauge should be read between 50psi and 100 psi. If the gauge reads very low or no pressure at all, you should contact a licensed sprinkler contractor about repair. 
Locate the inspector's test valve, which is usually outside on the rear wall of the house. Open the test valve slowly. Water should come out. Listen for the alarm bell. Once the alarm bell sounds, turn off the valve. If the alarm bell does not sound, look to see if there is any obstruction in the bell. If no obstruction and the alarm does not sound, contact a licensed fire sprinkler contractor.
An interior inspection of your home should be conducted by looking at all the sprinkler heads. Look for any sign of a leakage, items being hung from sprinkler heads or damage to the sprinkler heads. If you have concealed sprinkler heads, check to ensure that the decorative cover plates are in place. If you find any damage or leakage of the sprinkler contractor. If you find any objects being hung from the heads, remove them immediately.
