12 RECORDS DESCRIPTION SHEET Fire Alarm System Record of Completion A document that acknowledges the features of installation, operation, service, and equipment with representation by the property owner, system installer, system supplier, service organization and the authority having jurisdiction. An example of a record of completion form can be found in NFPA 72. As-Built (Record) Drawings As-Built drawings are drawings that document the location of all devices, appliances, wiring sequences, wiring methods and connections of the components of the fire alarm system as installed. These drawings must consist of current fire alarm system shop drawings, showing the location of fire alarm system components, remote power extenders, control units or modules. The drawings must also show the actual location of each alarm detection device, and audible appliance. Drawings provided must reflect the actual system installed. Where drawings are not available due to the extended life of the system installed, duplicate drawings must be produced depicting the current installation. Full-scale cad drawings are not required for the UL evaluation. Smaller versions may be submitted or made available at the time of our evaluation. The drawings should be done to scale and include a legend identifying all symbols that are used. Battery Calculations A battery calculation for a central station system consists of recording the current drain of each component of the fire alarm system in the normal supervisory load, totaling the supervisory loads and multiplying by 24 hours. In addition, the current drain of each individual component when in alarm mode is also recorded, totaled and multiplied by 5 minutes. The results of these calculations are combined and multiplied by a safety factor to establish the minimum amperehour capacity of the standby batteries. Acceptance Test Record An acceptance test is a test of all parts of the alarm system by the alarm service company that is maintaining the system. The test methods are described in NFPA 72 and the results shall be individually recorded for each component, device, appliance, and conductor. Copy of Original Equipment Submittals Original equipment submittals include a description of all devices that make up the fire alarm system. The listing category, visual description, power requirement for each device, and limits of usage must be included. These documents may be submitted prior to our on-site visit or made available at the time of our evaluation. Operational Manuals
13 Manuals defining the proper operation of all fire alarm system control equipment and peripheral devices must be provided for the end user. Documents must correspond with equipment models currently installed in the system. Manufacturer s Proper Testing and Maintenance Requirements Testing shall be performed in accordance with the schedules and tables found in NFPA 72 or on a frequency approved by the authority having jurisdiction. Fire alarm system equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. Methods and instruments that measure certain parameters as required by the manufacturer must be provided at the time of our evaluation. As part of the testing required during our evaluation, the retransmission signal and the time of the retransmission shall be recorded in the central station. A record of these tests must be provided upon completion of our field investigation. Periodic Test and Inspection Forms The forms that are used to record periodic tests and inspections of fire alarm systems are required to display the each component, device, appliance and wiring that was tested and the tests that were conducted. Contracts Central station service requires the alarm service company establish contracts with the subscriber for the performance of inspection, testing, maintenance, monitoring, signal processing and runner service. A Listed local company may in turn subcontract the monitoring and signal processing to a UL Listed central station.
14 PROTECTED PROPERTY EVALUATIONS CHECKLIST & DATA SHEETS One set of the following Checklist & Data Sheets should be completed for each fire alarm system to be evaluated.
