Test of newly added antenna to improve communication of system alarms to monitoring station. This was required due to impact of the metal security screen installed along the entire perimeter of the parking garage, that affected the cellular dialer from transporting alarm signals off-site to the monitoring station.

Received a voice mail from Mary Froemke regarding the requirement of visual notification in Type A dewllings. She stated that she understood that providing the capability for future addition of visuals is adequate per ANSI 117.7 section 1006 and IFC 907.5-2-3-4 Group R-2. I returned her call and left a voice message indicating that I agree.

Continuation fo fire alarm testing, including trip test of dry pipe fire sprinkler system and reinspection of some devices (SFDs) that did operate properly at last inspection. Verified off site monitoring and correct address. System will remain in service from this point on.
NOTE: A question regarding any ADA - Hearing Impaired rooms, and the fire alarm contractor said that he was not aware of any. The GC said that there were three HI units. Therfore these units will have to be fitted with spreaker strobes in all rooms, including the bathrooms. This change may require a resubmittal to the fire alarm plan checker to verify system capability and battery capacity.

Continuation of fire alarm testing, including elvator recall and phase 2 recall functions, including shunt trip functions, SDs for fire-rated doors on hold open devices, SDs for SFD operations, SDs in panel rooms, etc.
All devices tested OK, except for a 3rd floor SD for SFD in SE corner. Will retest this device after replacement.
Some devices needed some addressing changes to clarify locations, and these were done before the end of the inspection.
NOTE: One dry-pipe fire sprinkler system still needs to be trip-tested, since an accelerator was installed. Also need to retest a SD for DH, that did not sound alarm when tested.
Other than as noted, the fire alarm system has been tested and passed.
