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.

Completion of fire alarm system testing for the building, including a random test (20 apprx.) of stand-alone SDs in the apartments and interlocks with all other SDs in the unit.

Alarm inspection complete,verbally confirmed with electrical contractor that the fire alarm system has capability to sustain visual notification for rooms designated for hearing impaired tenants. Heat tape for wet system main is now monitored at FACP. Electrical contractor needs to provide information on heat tape used before final sign off can occur.

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.

Inspection of fire alarm inteface with fire sprinkler systems (dry and wet) including waterflows, tampers, low-air alarm for dry system, and a trip test of the dry pipe valve. Also tested audibility throughout the building during these tests to ensure adequate alarm audibility and intelligentability (voice evac system). All devices tested OK, except the trip test of the dry pipe valve, that will require further work. No other initiating devices tested this visit. Elevators also not tested.
For next inspection, will try to complete fire sprinkler systems, elevators, doors on hold-open and SDs to activate, SFDs, etc.
