Close the supply control valve 2. Place the accelerator out of service by shutting the ball valves on either side of the accelerator. 3. Shut off the air supply system 4. Open the test drain valve. 5 Relieve system air pressure by opening the air supply test valve 6. System and supply pressure gauges should now read zero psi. 7. Open the dry valve. hand -hole cover. If the dry valve clapper is in the DOWN and LATCHED position, unlatch the clap- per arm by inserting the dry valve wrench through the hook -pawl assembly and apply downward pressure on the wrench handle The clapper arm will be released and will swing to the full OPEN position. 8.

INSPECTION, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE A. WARNING I DO NOT TURN OFF THE WATER SUPPLY TO MAKE REPAIRS WITHOUT PLACING A ROVING FIRE PATROL IN THE AREA COVERED BY THE SYSTEM THE PATROL SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS BACK IN SERVICE 2 Prior to turning off any valves or activating any alarms, notify local security guards and/or central alarm station (if used) so that a false alarm will not be signaled and result in a local fire department response 3 In any of the following inspection or testing procedures, if an abnormal condition exists, see the paragraph on difficulties for possible cause and corrective action. 4 For complete information on individual devices, see the appropriate device page. 5 See NFPA Pamphlet No. 13A, Care and Maintenance of Sprinkler Systems. B. NORMAL CONDITIONS 1 All control valves open, locked and sealed with tamper proof seals. 2. ALARM TEST SHUT-OFF VALVE IN'ALARM' POSiT10N. 3. Water and au pressure gauge valves open. 4 Accelerator shut-off valves open 5 System air pressure and accelerator gauges indicating equal pressure 6 The water pressure -gauge reading equals that of the known service -line pressure. 7. Intoning power to all alarm switches on. B. Test drain valve, auxiliary drain valves and inspectors test valves should be tightly nosed. 9. If an automatic air supply is used. the compressor should be on the air maintenance device, the by-pass valve should be closed, and, the system air should be maintained at a constant pressure 10 The sprinkler head cabinet contains appropriate replacement sprinklers 11 Dry valve house temperature should be maintained above freezing 12 Drum drips and low points should be free of water. 13 The water level in the riser must be below the air supply drain C. WEEKLY TEST OF SYSTEM 1 Check the system for normal conditions. 2. Turn Alarm Test Shut-off valve to Test position, water motor alarm should sound 3 Close Alarm Test Shut-off valve, the alarm will silence 4 Close accelerator shut-off valves and open air supply test valve until arc flows, then close the valve quickly. 5 Drain the water from drum drips (Close the top valve, then open the bottom valve and drain, close the bottom valve, then open the top valve.) 6 Open accelerator shut-off valves N/�
