d. With each circuit pair, short circuit at the far end of the circuit and measure the circuit resistance with an ohmmeter. Record the circuit resistance of each circuit on the record drawings.

e. Verify the control unit is in the normal condition as detailed in the manufacturer's operating and maintenance manual.

f. Test initiating, notification, and signaling circuits for proper signal transmission under open circuit conditions. One connection each should be opened at not less than 10 percent of the initiating and notification devices. Observe proper signal transmission according to class of wiring used.

g. Test each initiating device and notification appliance for alarm operation and proper response at the control unit. Test smoke detectors with actual products of combustion.

h. Measure and record the actual current draw of each Notification Appliance Circuit.

i. Test the system for all specified functions according to the manufacturer's operating and maintenance manual. Systematically initiate specified functional performance items at each station including making all possible alarm and monitoring initiations and using all communications options. For each item, observe related performance at all devices required to be affected by the item under all system sequences. Observe indicating lights, displays, signal tones, and annunciator indications.

j. Test both primary power and secondary power. Verify, by test, the secondary power system is capable of operating the system for the period and in the manner specified.

k. Retesting: Correct deficiencies indicated by tests and completely retest work affected by such deficiencies. Verify by the system test that the total system meets the Specifications and complies with applicable standards.

l. Report of Tests and Inspections: Provide a written record of inspections, tests, and detailed test results in the form of a test log. Submit log upon the satisfactory completion of tests.

m. Tag all equipment, stations, and other components at which tests have been satisfactorily completed.

n. In order to obtain a certificate of occupancy. Demonstrate that the system meets the Specifications and complies with applicable

16721-27 LK 00000

standards. This final test shall be witnessed by a representative of the Authority Having Jurisdiction and a factory-authorized service representative.
