Continuation of fire alarm system testing, including a trip test of the 5 dry-pipe fire sprinkler systems (see FIR14-00815) for results of these tests.
Tested Elevator recall and shunt trip functions, completed testing of SDs for FSDs (all floors) HVAC shutdown SDs, and various SDs for panel rooms door closurers, etc. All tested OK.
The DDs used for HVAC shutdown should be changed to latching devices so that the system needs to be reset before the unit restarts.
Some device locations (descriptions) need to be changed to better decribe location or their purpose to aid respenders on locating the device in alarm. These will be rested next visit.
