DO NOT ROLL FIRE TRUCKS BY ACCIDENT. All building occupants have been clearly notified of the system test. All required documents are on site for the "Field Commissioning Technician” commissioning and review. A copy of the project plans and specification A copy of the contractor’s approved shop drawings including: ○ Cut Sheets ○ Battery Size Calcs ○ Operational Matrix ○ Approved Plans ○ Voltage Drop Calcs ○ Training Certificates A copy of the Fire Alarm system “as built” drawings showing the routing of circuits installed Final NFPA 72 "Fire Alarm System Record of Completion" form A copy of the System Operation Matrix, giving the FACP response for each initiating device input, has been provided by the fire alarm installer to facilitate testing. A copy of the sensitivity report A copy of the printout generated by the 100% device testing. A copy of the Current Fire Alarm Panel Programing downloaded on Jump Drive. Select AllNFPA 72 “Record of Completion” NFPA 72 "Record of Completion" Form, filled out, with all signatures and at FACP Appropriate year of form is used per year of Building Code permit The manufacturer's authorized distributor (the 'installer') who made final connections at the FACP and programmed the system gave the owner and AHJ advance notice of the required 100% operational tests, so they could elect to attend. NOTE: The required 100% testing cannot properly be done by a single technician without a helper, even if the FACP has Walk-Test or an equivalent feature. Query the tech on how testing was performed. Signatures on the form must match the typed/printed names and each section must be complete. Do not accept a company name in place of the responsible individual. The individual must have a certificate. For State Projects, the electrical designer is, by contract, SCO’s representative as AHJ. For Community College Projects, the local code official is the AHJ. Verify that the technician who programmed the alarm system was trained and certified by the manufacturer, for the specific FACP model, or by a state-approved licensing body or NICET, within the past 2 years. A copy of the certification should have been submitted with the shop drawings. If there are any state or local municipality requirements for certification, defer to those requirements. Select AllREVIEW THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FROM THE SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTAL: System Status and Programming Report, which includes the following 3 elements: Program settings for each alarm initiating device Current sensitivity reading of each smoke detector System operational matrix, giving response for each alarm input If building has smoke purge system, an HVAC balance report in purge mode Two bound copies of the following information on the system (may be combined): Manufacturer's technical literature (cut sheets) on system components Required maintenance schedule on system, to comply with NFPA 72 As-built drawings with loop #'s, device addresses, equipment terminals Select All Editor Notes - Page 4Line ItemNote Add RemoveLeave notes or reminders for when you or another tech come back to edit this page.

Operating instruction summary is framed and mounted at the FACP. Green grounding wire bonded to FACP and FCPS cabinet/s and connected to designated terminal on motherboard (if any). Select AllAC Power AC Power Branch circuit to FACP does not share conduit with 24vdc alarm initiating circuits or notification appliance circuits. Circuit breaker(s) serving FACP (and associated equipment) have lock on clips and red dot beside breakers. (Do not paint the circuit breaker) Placard on the FACP gives the following info on this circuit: Panelboard location, panelboard identification, and branch circuit number (The same applies to SNAC panels and any other system cabinets or power supplies) Surge arrester model listed in project spec (feed-through type with 'pi' configuration) installed at electrical panelboard, on the 120vac branch circuit to FACP. Arrestor leads trimmed as short as practical. See attached wiring diagram for more info. Select AllCheck Fire Alarm Control Panel(s) - 2 Fire alarm control panel (FACP) powered up and clear of alarms, supervisory signals, and trouble conditions. Have ground fault put on any alarm initiating or notification appliance (horn-strobe) circuit. FACP must indicate 'ground' and general 'trouble'. Have technician confirm FACP is programmed to send an AC power failure trouble signal to Remote Supervising Station if power loss continues for 1 hour minimum to 3 hours maximum. The FACP and any transponders, sub-panels, DACT and 'ADA' booster power supplies must be protected by a smoke detector within 15 feet of their location, measured horizontally, as required by Code (NFPA 72). Select Alluntitled Addressable loop circuits are if Class 'A', with isolation modules at FACP on the outgoing and return loop, after each 20 addressable devices (max) on the loop, and (if less than 20 devices) at midpoint. Have the technician apply a short circuit on the SLC loop. This will force two isolation modules to clamp. The test is to verify their operation and device count between the two that clamp. With AC power off, there will be multiple troubles on the system. The total count will increase during this test. Exclude the count prior to the short. Verify the number of devices between Isolation modules meets the specification requirement. Select Alluntitled If AHJ has approved the use of a class B SLC wiring design the isolation modules will not be installed. While on battery power, initiate Alarm. Batteries should remain at 12+ volts each but dropping slowly. Let alarm continue during next step. Verify the Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) voltage drops at the EOL is less than 3 volts. Do this separately for each NAC. Look at the shop drawing to find the worst-case scenarios when spot checking at a final. Silence the alarm and verify that any Remote Supervising Station has received a fire alarm signal. Reset the FACP and verify the Station receives a subsequent 'restore' signal, indicating the alarm condition has been cleared. Verify requirements on wire type and gauge were followed and that the color code for circuits is proper throughout the system. (Review specifications and shop drawing requirements.) Have installing technician demonstrate that the system is programmed so all spot- type smoke detectors have automatic drift compensation and FACP will indicate when prescribed sensitivity limits are reached or exceeded. If system has provisions for 'alarm verification' algorithm, arm it only if needed for the environment. Do not apply it to multi-sensor or multi-criteria smoke detectors, elevator capture detectors, or duct smoke detectors. If any addressable control relays are installed, verify their contact ratings are suitable for connected load. (Some are rated for resistive loads only.) Also, if they require separate 24vdc power for operation, verify the circuit is electrically supervised. Compare their installed location to the design intent. All field wiring in the system has wire markers were landed at the FACP and in the terminal cabinet(s) on each floor of multistory buildings. If system uses an LED 'zone' annunciator to provide a quick visual overview of the fire scenario for responding public safety personnel (general fire area and type of alarms), a framed directory or typed/engraved LED labels provide clear information on 'zone' (area) boundaries and the type(s) of alarms (i.e., smoke, waterflow, etc.) During the walk through of the site verify that there are no splices in the system wiring other than at terminal blocks J-Boxes, and are identified. In J-boxes if 'wire nuts' are used confirm box fill has not exceeded NFPA-70. All circuits properly and securely terminated. Approved terminal fittings are used for any stranded wire terminations at screw posts that lack pressure connectors. Each fire extinguishing system, such as in a kitchen hood, is connected to give building fire alarm. Have contractor demonstrate that this functions properly, by manually operating the monitored switch, without releasing extinguishing agent. Verify that fire alarm system monitors power to any fire suppression system shunt trip breakers. (Look for kitchen hood systems and sprinklered elevator spaces.) If remote alarm annunciator in building, verify proper operation, including the audible 'Trouble' signal. Check its 'Lamp Test' and “Trouble Silence” features, if provided. If a Fire Pump is part of the sprinkler system – verify that NFPA 20 certification was provided and testing has been successfully completed Select All Editor Notes - Page 6Line ItemNote Add RemoveLeave notes or reminders for when you or another tech come back to edit this page.

If still installed how was the 100% test done? Spot type smoke detectors shall not be located within 3 feet of a supply or return air diffuser, nor in strong air stream from a supply diffuser at any distance. Wall mounted detectors shall not have wall-mounted luminaires or other obstructions below. Verify that devices and modules are in a conditioned space (not attics, boiler rooms, unheated warehouses, damp locations, outside corridors, parking decks, etc.). Exception: devices that are listed for the ambient conditions expected (or likely) in the area where installed. Verify that all detectors, modules and pull stations installed outside or in non-conditioned spaces are listed for use at the both ends of the expected temperature. (e.g. Typically, addressable pull stations are not listed for use in parking decks because the low end is 32 degrees.) Verify that any strobes in walk-in coolers or freezers are listed for that environment or provided with heated Lexan enclosures for which they are specifically listed. Check any outside alarm bells and strobes for operation. Verify outside strobe is the weatherproof type with at least 100cd output, with clear lens. Select AllDUCT SMOKE DETECTORS Intake tube has its holes /slots facing into the air stream, and a stopper installed to seal its far end. Each duct smoke detector has a Remote Alarm Indicator Light (RAIL) in nearest corridor or other public space. (Because addressable, test switch is not required.) At each duct detector a 12”x12” minimum access door, hinged or latched type, is provided to facilitate sampling tube inspection and cleaning. Air flow direction is permanently indicated on the duct by stencil or decal, to help assure the sampling tubes are installed and maintained in the correct orientation. If the tube is over 36 inches long, the far end must be supported for stability. If support is provided by extending the intake tube through the far side of HVAC duct (best for inspection, cleaning, testing), the duct penetration must be sealed. Select AllUntitled Initiate alarm on a representative sample of devices by operating manual fire alarm box, blowing smoke into detector, flowing water from sprinkler system inspector's test station, etc., except do not test any non-restorable, fixed temperature heat detector.

(Radios are very helpful at this point.) There should be a clear indication of device type, device number and location for each device tested. Individual detectors of all types shall be identified on their bases (Loop # -- Device #), in sequence on the loop from the FACP Select AllUntitled While spot testing devices in the facility verify operation of audible-visible alarm notification appliances. Audible alarm devices must be 15 dBA above normal ambient sound level in all occupiable areas of building. (Use meter if in doubt.) Indoor strobes must flash 60-120 times/minute and those installed in a single space (room, corridor, etc.) must be synchronized and remain synchronized throughout the test. Select AllUntitled Also verify HVAC shutdown and closure of (any) smoke doors. These functions must be done by the FACP, rather than by integral smoke detector relay contacts. Shutdown must occur within 20 seconds, except gas pack units can be arranged for up to 60 seconds delay before the fan stops, to prevent heat exchanger damage. After verifying the HVAC shutdown is operational it is acceptable to activate the HVAC bypass to avoid excessive restarting of large air handler systems. Select AllELEVATORS? ELEVATORS AVAILABLE N/A ELEVATORS Elevator control key and technician must be on site for the following tests to take place Elevator lobby detectors must be within 21 feet of each elevator door Select AllUntitled Test detector(s) located at elevator lobby that will initiate elevator recall Verify recall to a primary floor Verify recall to alternate floor Verify illumination of 'Fire Hat' Select AllUntitled Test detector(s) located in shaft and elevator machine room Verify recall to designated floor Verify flashing illumination of 'Fire Hat' Select AllUntitled Heat Detectors installed in a shaft or machine room and used for shunt trip activation shall be located within 2 feet of each sprinkler head. (Verify the power source for the shunt trip breaker is supervised and reports a supervisory alarm) (Verify heat setting is less than sprinkler setting per covered.) SPRINKLER SYSTEMS If a sprinkler system is present, check the operation of the waterflow alarm switches by flowing water from Inspectors Test connection(s), unless dry pipe system. Alarm sounds in 20-45 seconds and any outside water motor gong rings properly in less than 300 seconds. Close any electrically supervised sprinkler control valves to verify supervisory alarm at FACP within 2 turns of control wheel or, for Post Indicator Valve (PIV), within 1/5 of valve control mechanism’s travel distance. Then reopen to verify “restore” signal. (Completely close the PIV and verify that the supervisory alarm does not restore for the full travel distance. It should only restore when the valve is open) If dry pipe or pre-action sprinkler system, have contractor demonstrate waterflow alarm functions, and that both high and low air pressure are supervised as required. Manual pull station is mounted next to sprinkler riser. Select AllALARM COMMUNICATION TRANSMISSION Transmission Verification: Verify communication pathways are present and supervised per NFPA 72. Verify that transmission means are connected and functioning properly, to transmit fire alarm, supervisory, and trouble signals as separate, distinct events. Verify two transmission means are present and labeled when sprinkler is installed. Verify that transmission means are programmed for 24-hour silent test call to the supervising station. Verify each type of signal is properly received and coded at the receiving station. (Supervisory signals include sprinkler valve tamper, fire pump off-normal, hi-low air pressure, etc.) Verify transmission means have backup power per NFPA 72. Select AllOTHER SYSTEMS? AVAILABLE N/A OTHER SYSTEMS For dormitories and residence halls, there will be special testing required for the sounder bases and the handicapped notification which uses higher candela strobes. Even if system is dual event, it must dial out on 1st alarm. For institutions check for keys to the lockable pull stations if they are installed. Where smoke “sniffer” systems are used - create a test procedure with the help of the designer. Where beam detectors are used, verify they are not on walls subject to movement and are not subject to direct sunlight. Where smoke evacuation and/or AHU bypass is used verify that the panel can be locked, and operation limited to qualified people. Mass Notification systems require special procedures and testing to verify proper operation. Select AllUntitled Access Control Doors with Magnetic Locks unlock Loss of AC to FACP On Fire Alarm. Select AllUntitled Fire Doors drop out on alarm Fire Doors power supervised, or self-supervised. Fire Smoke Dampers drop out on Fire Alarm Fire Smoke Damper power supervised or self-supervised. Select AllNote any other Fire FunctionsTraining Etc. Verify that the Owner's designated personnel have received training in system operation: How to interpret, silence, and reset FACP signals, how to obtain service, etc. Verify that when required by specification, owner's personnel have received more thorough, detailed training in system troubleshooting and repair, plus installation manuals and other documentation, as applicable. Contractor has provided electronic copy of system's site-specific programming. (CD, flash drive) Contractor has provided spare parts in accordance with the specification for the project.
