- TRAINING REQUIREMENTS:
Prior to final acceptance, the installing contractor shall
provide operational training to each shift of the owners personnel. Each training session
shall include system Rhino Control Panel operation, manual and (optional) abort functions,
trouble procedures, supervisory procedures, auxiliary functions and emergency procedures.
- OPERATION and MAINTENANCE:
Prior to final acceptance, the installing contractor shall
provide complete operation and maintenance instruction manuals, four (4) copies for each
system, to the owner. All aspects of system operation and maintenance shall be detailed,
including piping isometrics, wiring diagrams of all circuits, a written description of the
system design, sequence of operation and drawing(s) illustrating control logic and
equipment used in the system. Checklists and procedures for emergency situations,
troubleshooting techniques, maintenance operations and procedures shall be included in the
manual.
- AS-BUILT DRAWINGS:
Upon completion of each system, the installing contractor
shall provide four (4) copies of system "As-Built" drawings to the owner. The
drawings shall show actual installation details including all equipment locations (i.e.:
control panel(s), agent container(s), detectors, alarms, manuals and
aborts, etc.) as well as piping and conduit routing
details. Show all room or facilities modifications, including door and/or damper
installations completed. One (1) copy of reproducible engineering drawings shall be
provided reflecting all actual installation details.
- ACCEPTANCE TESTS:
- At the time "As-Built" drawings and
maintenance/operations manuals are submitted, the installing contractor shall submit a
"Test Plan" describing procedures to be used to test the control system(s). The
Test Plan shall include a step-by-step description of all tests to be performed and shall
indicate the type and location of test apparatus to be employed. The tests shall
demonstrate that the operational and installation requirements of this specification have
been met. All tests shall be conducted in the presence of the owner and shall not be
conducted until the Test Plan has been approved.
- The tests shall demonstrate that the entire control system
functions as designed and intended. All circuits shall be tested: automatic actuation,
solenoid and manual actuation, HVAC and power shutdowns, audible and visual alarm devices
and manual override of abort functions. Supervision of all panel circuits, including AC
power and battery power supplies, shall be tested and qualified.
- A room pressurization test shall be conducted, in each
protected space, to determine the presence of openings which would affect the agent
concentration levels. The test(s) shall be conducted using the Retro-Tec Corp. Door Fan
system, or equivalent, with integrated computer program. All testing shall be in
accordance with NFPA 2001, Appendix B.
- If room pressurization testing indicates that openings exist
which would result in leakage and/or loss of the extinguishing agent, the installing
contractor shall be responsible for coordinating the proper sealing of the protected
space(s) by the general contractor or his sub-contractor or agent. The general contractor
shall be responsible for adequately sealing all protected space(s) against agent loss or
leakage. The installing contractor shall inspect all work to ascertain that the protected
space(s) have been adequately and properly sealed.
THE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INSTALLING CONTRACTOR SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE ROOM PRESSURIZATION TESTS.
If the first room pressurization test is not successful, in accordance with these
specifications, the installing contractor shall direct the general contractor to
determine, and correct, the cause of the test failure. The installing contractor shall
conduct additional room pressurization tests, at no additional cost to the owner, until a
successful test is obtained. Copies of successful test results shall be submitted to the
owner for record.
- Upon acceptance by the owner, the completed system(s) shall
be placed into service.
- SYSTEM INSPECTIONS:
- The installing contractor shall provide two (2) inspections
of each system, installed under this contract, during the one-year warranty period. The
first inspection shall be at the six month interval, and the second inspection at the 12
month interval, after system acceptance. Inspections shall be conducted in accordance with
the manufacturer's guidelines and the recommendations of NFPA 2001.
- Documents certifying satisfactory system(s) operation shall
be submitted to the owner upon completion of each inspection.
- WARRANTY:
- All FIKE system components furnished, and installed under
this contract, shall be guaranteed against defects in design, materials and workmanship
for the full warranty period which is standard with the manufacturer, but in no case less
than one (1) year from the date of system acceptance.
- OPTIONAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
- SHPä Control System
- INTELLA-SCAN IIä Detection System
- HCL Detection
