Alteration Changes in 2010 Edition

8.7.2.1.1 (e) Access Door reference corrected 8.7.2.21 Title revised – Suspension Ropes to Means 8.7.2.21.1& .21.3 Ropes to Means 8.7.2.21.4 Added Monitoring & Protection 8.7.3.31.10 Editorially revised a reference 8.7.6.2.7 (a) Editorially revised references 8.7.6.2.9 Editorially revised a reference 8.7.6.2.12 (a) Editorially revised references 8.9.1 First and second sentences revised 8.9.2 First and last sentences revised 8.9.3 Revised added requirements


Note: These 3 requirements are often mixed up.

TN 03-1712

Revise A17.1 requirements 8.7.3.23.1, 8.7.3.23.2 and 8.7.3.23.3 as follows:

8.7.3.23.1 Hydraulic Jack. Where the alteration involves the installation of a hydraulic jack, it is installed,altered or replaced it shall conform to 3.18.

8.7.3.23.2 Plungers. Where a new plunger is installed as part of an alteration or an existing plunger isaltered, it shall conform to 3.18.1.2 and 3.18.2.

8.7.3.23.3 Cylinders. Where a cylinder is installed, replaced as part of an alteration, altered, or sleeved, itshall conform to 3.18.3. If the plunger is not equipped with a stop ring conforming to 3.18.4.1, theinstallation shall also conform to 3.18.1.2 and 3.18.2.

Reason:Requirement 8.6.3.10 identifies replacement of jacks, plungers, and cylinders as an alteration and referredto 8.7.3.23. This proposed change clarifies the need to comply with existing requirements even though thereplacement is not “part of an alteration”. (See new proposed definition in TN 02-3899 for “Alteration aspart of – A repair and/or replacement that is included with other work that is classified as an alteration”)


Alteration Changes in A17.1-2007, a-08 & b-09 for control

• 8.7.2.27.8 and 8.7.3.31.11 Added

Electrical Protective Devices. Where there is an alteration to or addition of an electrical protective device, it shall conform to 2.26.2 for that device.

• 8.7.2.27.3 POWER

• 8.7.2.27.4 CONTROL REPLACEMENT

• 8.7.2.27.5 MOTION

• 8.7.2.27.6 OPERATION

• 8.7.3.31.4 POWER

• 8.7.3.31.5 CONTROL REPLACEMENT

• 8.7.3.31.6 MOTION

• 8.7.3.31.7 OPERATION

Control changes have been made to all 3 editionsand more are coming!

Hydro

Traction


Note: These 4 requirements are often mixed up.

Control Changes

• Power – Supply to controller is altered in type, phase or voltage (not a new Main Line)

• Controller is replaced w/o change to Motion or Operation – could be a relay to microprocessor

• Type of Motion - such as MG to SSD or VVVF

• Type of Operation – Car Switch to Automatic


Note: Hydro control change may not require change to fire service.

Control Changes

• 8.7.2.28 Emergency Operations

• 8.7.3.31.8 Emergency OperationsRationale: To clarify the requirements when installing firefighters’ emergency

operation on existing controllers.
