903. 1.1 (1.c) TESTING CRITERIA
SECTION 1 -Testing Criteria
FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM-WET
1. Hydrostatically test all system piping at a pressure of 200 psi for two hours without a loss in
pressure.
2. Opening of the inspectors test connection shall initiate an alarm at the main fire alarm panel within
90 seconds.
3. 2°drain test shall be conducted. Static and Residual pressures must be recorded on test certificate.
4. All supervisory switches shall be tested and shall register a trouble condition an the main alarm
panel.
FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM—DRY
1. Pnuematically test system at a pressure of 40 psi for 24 hr.Maximum pressure loss is 1 '/z psi.
2. Hydrostatically test at a pressure of 200 psi for two hours without a loss in pressure.
3. Conduct system operational test from inspectors test connection. Local alarm must sound within l
minute. Central station must receive alarm and trouble signals.
4. Working test of dry valve.
5. Water delivery time to inspectors test:60 seconds
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
All features,devices,components,and modes of operation shall be tested for acceptance in accordance
with the code and NFPA 72.
SECTION 2-Approval Requirements
1. Approval of local authorities is required.
2. All test certificates,as required by NFPA 13 and 72,are required to be provided by every fire

903. 1.1 (1.b) SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
WET SPRR-4nER SYSTEMS
System operates automatically upon the fusing of a single fire sprinkler.
Operational Sequence:
1. The activation of a single sprinkler will discharge water and close the contacts of a flow switch.
2. Closed contact on the flow switch will activate fire alarm system(upon 30 second delay).
DRY SPR1NICER SYSTEM
System operates automatically upon the fusing of a single fire sprinkler.
Operational Sequence:
1. The activation of a single sprinkler will allow the air to exhaust the system and discharge water.
2. The dry valve will activate the system pressure switch-
Water will be delivered to the activated sprinklers. Water delivery delay must not exceed 60 seconds.
GENERAL NOTE: all supervisory and alarm contacts are to be relayed to the fire alarm panel. The main
fire alarm panel is required to be supervised by a central station service.

SECTION 4-Fire Protection Systems to be installed
a) Water supply,fire mains and hydrants—existing 4"fire service and existing 4"standpipes to remain
b) Automatic sprinkler systems—
Floors 2,3,4,and 5 are fed by zone controls connected to the existing standpipe system.
The first floor is fed by the existing first floor zone control located in the basement.
The basement is to be fed from the existing basement zone control located in the basement riser room.
Sprinklers in guest rooms are residential sprinklers.
Sprinklers in all other areas are quick response standard spray.
c) Fire alarm systems and components— The existing fire alarm system is extended to comply with
917.4.1. The existing system also provides fire suppression system supervision required by 923.0.
d) Seismic considerations—all new systems require seismic design compliance.
SECTION 5-Features Used in the Design Methodology
a) Building occupant notification and evacuation procedures
The building fire alarm system monitors the building fire sprinkler system and manual pull stations and
other detectors. Activation of these initiating devices will activate a building wide fire alarm and
require complete building activation-
Work By Others
b) The attic area is of noncombustible construction. Combustible wood planking shall be removed from
the space to omit sprinkler protection.
c) Installation of heat detectors located in the combustible concealed space above the Northampton Room
located on the second floor. This area cannot be sprinklered without extensive demolition. Future
renovation will require additional sprinklers.
