All new systems shall be inspected and tested in accordance with the requirements of Re-acceptance Testing Re-acceptance testing shall be performed after any of the following: (1) Added or deleted system components (2) Any modification, repair, or adjustment to system hardware or wiring (3) Any modifications to the structure being protected Service Program > System Test Requirements * All components, circuits, systems operations, and site-specific software functions known to be affected by the change or identified by a means that indicates the changes shall be tested Test Methods. Electronic premises security systems and other systems and equipment that are associated with security systems and accessory equipment shall be tested according to Table (a) and.... Page 10

11 NFPA 731 contains detailed test methods for most of the typically Security devices and systems Intrusion Detection Devices Audio sensors Service Program > Device Test Methods Using a sound level meter designed, constructed, and calibrated in accordance with ANSI S1.4, Specification for Sound Level Meters, determine that the average ambient sound does not exceed the manufacturer s recommendation for the ambient sound level during the period the intrusion detection system is armed. The area covered by a single detector shall not exceed the area of coverage spec. by the detector manuf. Utilizing the method recommended by the manuf., test the operation of the system. Motion detection (1) Passive infrared (PIR) Walk across the field of detection at the point farthest from the detector in an upright position at a rate of 760 mm ±80 mm (30 in. ±3 in.) per second. (2) Microwave Walk into the field of detection at the point farthest from the detector in an upright position at a rate of 760 mm ±80 mm (30 in. ±3 in.) per second. Page 11

12 Inspection and Testing Frequency is dependent on the SVA and the manufacturer s recommendations 10.5* Inspection and Testing Frequency.

Page 14

15 New requirements for security systems and their maintenance and service were added in For high-rise buildings having an occupant load of 4,000 or more persons, real-time remote monitoring of exit stair usage shall be provided in accordance with through and shall be displayed at the emergency command center Where the monitoring system is integrated with a security system, the security system shall be in accordance with NFPA 731, Standard for the Installation of Electronic Premises Security Systems Where the monitoring system includes video cameras also used for video image smoke detection, the portions of the system used for such detection shall be in accordance with NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code * High-Rise Building. A building where the floor of an occupiable story is greater than 75 ft (23 m) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access Occupiable Story. A story occupied by people on a regular basis. Page 15

16 The location of the approved video monitoring equipment is explicitly called out Approved video monitoring equipment shall be provided at the exit stairs immediately adjacent to exit stairway discharge doors to capture discharge from, entry to, and passage through the discharge floor landing Approved video monitoring equipment shall be provided for exit stairs above the level of exit discharge, at building height intervals not exceeding 5 stories, so that descent and ascent flows on the stairways, at the floor entry landings, can be remotely monitored Approved video monitoring equipment shall be provided, at locations stipulated by the authority having jurisdiction, for exit stairs below the level of exit discharge where levels are normally occupied by the public.
