4-4 DISARMING AND REARMING RELEASE
CIRCUITS
The disarming and rearming procedures which follow must be
performed when testing the PEGAsys system. Prior to preced-
ing ensure the notes below from NFPA 72 Chapter 7 are under-
stood.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. "Testing personnel shall be familiar with the specific arrange-
ment and operation of the suppression system(s) and re-
leasing function(s) and cognizant of the hazards associated
with inadvertent system discharge."
2. "Occupant notification shall be required whenever a fire
alarm system configured for releasing service is being ser-
viced or tested."
3. "Discharge testing of suppression systems shall not be re-
quired by this code. Suppression systems shall be secured
from inadvertent actuation, including disconnection of re-
leasing solenoids/electric actuators, closing of valves, other
actions, or combinations thereof, as appropriate for the
specific system, for the duration of the fire system testing."
4. "Testing shall include verification that the releasing circuits
and components energized or actuated by the fire alarm
system are electrically supervised and operate as intended
on alarm."
5. "Suppression systems and releasing components shall be
returned to their normal condition upon completion of sys-
tem testing."
4-4.1 Disarming Release Circuits
Perform the following step-by-step procedure prior to system
testing.
a. Isolate all agent release circuits using the system menu
(Refer to Paragraph 2-5.4.1).
WARNING
Use safety precautions when removing solenoids
and connections from initiators (i.e. use the short-
ing cap when the initiators are disconnected) to
prevent unwanted discharge or activation.
b. Physically remove the solenoids at the storage containers.
WARNING
The suppression system is now fully disarmed from
all automatic activation and, in some cases, all
manual activation.
c. The system can now be tested without the risk of an inad-
vertent release of agent.
4-4.2 Arming Release Circuits
Perform the following step-by-step procedure upon completion
of system testing.
a. Verify that all solenoids are disconnected from storage con-
tainers.
b. Isolate all agent release circuits using the system menu
(Refer to Paragraph 2-5.4.1).
c. Reconnect the solenoids at the storage containers.
d. Ensure the system is free of any alarms to prevent unwanted
discharge or activation.
e. De-isolate agent release circuit(s).
f. The system is now in full operation in accordance with sys-
tem programming.
4-5 POWERING DOWN THE SYSTEM
4-5.1 Power-Down Procedure
The step-by-step procedure to power-down the system follows:
a. Ensure that the panel does not have any active alarms to
prevent unwanted discharge or activation.
CAUTION
If alarms do exist during power-down, power-up of
the panel will cause a reactivation of the alarm se-
quence and possible activation of the suppression
system.
b. Disarm release circuits as per Paragraph 4-4.1.
