Section 200-9.0 - Annual Test

9.1 When an in-building system is installed, the building owner or their representative shall test all active components of the system, including, but not limited to, the amplifier, power supplies, and back-up batteries, a minimum of once every twelve (12) months. Annual testing will include:

9.1.1 Amplifiers shall be tested to ensure that the gain is the same as it was upon initial installation and acceptance.

9.1.2 Back-up batteries and power supplies shall be tested under load for a period of one hour to verify that they will operate during an actual power outage.

9.1.3 All other active components shall be checked to determine that they are operating within the manufacturers specifications for their intended purposes.

9.2 Sampling Coverage Test - A transmit / receive coverage testing of 10% of the building grid will be required. Tests will be conducted in a different area of the building each year so that every 10 years the building has been completely tested. The testing area must be spread out throughout the building randomly. In that way, we are testing every amplifier in the system.

9.2.1 Test results tabulation form is attached.

9.2.2 Test results must be completed within 30 days of the previous annual inspection.

9.3 A copy of the test shall be retained on the inspected premises.

9.4 A copy of the test shall be sent to:
