1.) The installing contractor is using a non- approved set of floor plans for installation of fire alarm equipment on the 4th floor. The approved set of plans was found in the general contractor's office, and after review the installation was significantly different than what was on the approved set of plans.

2.) Began by testing a smoke detector outside of the Northeast stairwell, found that an alarm verification feature is programmed into the automatic fire alarm detection devices. The main FACP descriptor associated with the smoke detector had only confusing identification numbers with no association to the floor or area of the detector location.

3.) Tested another smoke detector outside of freight elevator, alarm verification was enabled on this detector also. Finally after the detector went into alarm the smoke guard doors released and another confusing descriptor displayed at the main FACP. This time the descriptor said that the alarm was at the plaza level elevator smoke detector.

4.) It was decided that a meeting needs to be set up to discuss the procedure for installation, testing and correcting problems found during inspections. Also determine why installing workers are not working from approved plans.
