The same signed cards as the trainer above, in one list to read or print.
- Which three records do you compare to build a device count before a periodic test?
- The record drawings, the panel's point list or programming report, and last year's inspection and test report. Then walk the building to check them against what is installed.NFPA 72-2022 Chapter 7; 14.2
- Why is the panel's point list not enough on its own to count devices?
- It shows what the panel is programmed for, not what is on the ceiling. A removed device can leave an orphan address, and a new device may be missing from the drawings.NFPA 72-2022 Chapter 7
- You find three detectors on the point list that are not on the record drawings. What do you do?
- Confirm them on site, test them, and note on the report that the drawings need updating so the owner can have them corrected.NFPA 72-2022 Chapter 7; 14.6
- What is an orphan address?
- A point still programmed in the panel after its device was removed. Record it as a finding so the program can be corrected.NFPA 72-2022 14.6
- Who is your main contact for access and timing during a periodic test?
- The owner or the building manager acting for the owner. The owner is responsible for the system.NFPA 72-2022 14.2
- Name four things to agree with the building manager before testing.
- Access to rooms and ceilings, when appliances may sound, who tells the occupants, and which interfaces (doors, elevators, fans) will operate.NFPA 72-2022 14.2
- Why agree in advance which interfaces will operate during the test?
- Doors closing, elevators recalling and fans stopping affect people and other trades, and the person responsible for each may need to be present.NFPA 72-2022 14.2; Chapter 21
- Where are the periodic inspection and test frequencies and methods?
- In Chapter 14 of NFPA 72, mostly in its tables.NFPA 72-2022 Chapter 14
- Who decides which edition of the code applies to an existing system?
- The authority having jurisdiction, through the edition and local changes it has adopted. The newest printed edition is not automatically the one that applies.NFPA 72-2022 14.1
- The work order says annual test, but some devices are also due for another inspection. What do you do?
- Tell the owner before starting, so the scope can match what is due under the Chapter 14 tables.NFPA 72-2022 Chapter 14
- Which section covers notifications before testing?
- 14.2.4 in NFPA 72-2022.NFPA 72-2022 14.2.4
- What do you tell the supervising station before testing?
- The account, which signals to expect, and roughly how long the test will run, so test signals are not treated as real ones.NFPA 72-2022 14.2.4
