NOTE: Delete references to programming of CAD when
no CAD system is specified.
**************************************************************************
Field program each receiving/control network with all system transmitter
identity code numbers, zones on each transmitter, and appropriate message
and audible alerting tone associated with each active zone, e.g. Box 1234;
Zone 1- Water Flow (alarm tone), Zone 2 - Pump Running (alarm tone), Zone 3
- Pump Failure (alarm tone), Zone 4 - Pump Trouble (supervisory tone), Zone
5 - Valve Supervisory (supervisory tone), etc. Program transmitter
automatic test times so that at least one test signal is received at the
receiving/control network at not exceeding 60-minute intervals. [ Field
program each CAD computer with all data required for proper operation of
CAD system as specified in the paragraph entitled "Computer-Aided Dispatch
(CAD) System; obtain emergency response unit type/number and pre-incident
plan information for each location and box number from the Federal Fire
Chief .]
3.3.1
Programming Revisions During Preliminary Testing
During preliminary testing, if any programmed information is found to be
incorrect, confusing, or misleading, revise programming to the satisfaction
of the Fire Chief and the Contracting Officer.
3.3.2
Programming Revisions During the Final Acceptance Stage
During final acceptance testing, if any programmed information is found to

FIELD TESTING
3.4.1
Tests During Installation
Conduct the following tests during installation of wiring and system
components. Operational tests of powered system components shall be
conducted both with normal power on and with emergency (battery) power on
and normal power off. Correct any deficiencies found prior to requesting
scheduling of final acceptance test.
a. Ground resistance: The resistance of each connection to ground
shall be measured and shall not exceed 5 ohms.
b. Each antenna assembly and cable shall be checked at the transmitter
or receiver connection for continuity, shorts, and grounds on the
conductor and on the shield prior to connection to equipment.
Assemblies failing these tests shall not be connected to equipment.
c. Radio emission frequency and band width of each transmitter shall
be tested to ensure proper operation on the assigned frequency.
d.
Operation of each radio alarm transmitter function.
e. Operation of each interface panel zone (where interface panels are
provided).
