WEEKLYINSPECTION
1. Perform a visual inspection on the valve and trim on a weekly
basis. NOTE: If the dry system is equipped with a low-pressure
alarm, monthly inspections may be sufficient. Contact the local
authority having jurisdiction for specific requirements.
MONTHLYINSPECTION
1. Record the system air pressure and water supply pressure.
Confirm that the water supply pressure is within the range of
normal pressures observed in the area. Significant loss of water
supply pressure could indicate an adverse condition in the water
supply. Confirm the proper water-to-air ratio is being maintained.
2. Confirm that there is no leakage from the intermediate valve
chamber. The drip check in the alarm line should not be leaking
water or air.
3. Inspect the valve and trim for mechanical damage and corrosion.
Replace any damaged or corroded parts.
4. Confirm that the dry valve and trim are located in an area that is
not subject to freezing temperatures.
5. Confirm that all valves are in their normal operating positions (refer
to the table below).

6. If a Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator is installed, record the
pressure in the air chamber of the dry accelerator. The pressure
in the air chamber should equal the system air pressure within the
allowable tolerances of the gauges. If the air chamber’s pressure
is below the system air pressure, follow the “Troubleshooting”
section.
