This review and approval process is offered to eliminate the need to make modifications in the documentation, should the College opt to use code compliant alternatives. All documentation for fire detection and suppression systems installation and upgrades should be reviewed and approved by Amherst College Environmental Health & Safety before being submitted to the Amherst Inspection Services and/or the Amherst Fire Department, depending on the work being performed.Fire Department Plan Review and Application for Fire Acceptance Testing for Fire Protection Systems.Fire Alarm Shop Drawings (all-inclusive) as specified in 780 CMR 9.Construction Documents, as referenced in the 9th edition of Massachusetts State Building Code, 780 CMR,.If fire detection / suppression system is to be installed, replaced or otherwise modified, the appropriate project manager, shop supervisor or outside contractor shall make Amherst Inspection Services and Fire Department aware of such work by completing the necessary permits and submitting, as soon as practical any of the required document(s), including but not limited to It shall include the installation of temporary systems which may be used during alterations, new construction, demolition and renovation projects to aid in the prevention and suppression of fires. The guide would apply to all academic, residential (including rental properties), storage and other buildings owned and operated by the College.

The information identified here-in should be used by the architects, designers, engineers and the College as part of the process to meet both the regulatory requirements and the desires of the College, as it pertains to the fire detection and suppression systems. The intent of this guide is to aid in the simplification of the applicable code requirements and incorporate the specificatons of Amherst College as it pertains to the alteration, installation, modification and replacements of the fire detection and suppression systems on the campus.

In my experience the tech will resolve about 95% of trouble with 5% chance that another tech will be needed likely on a different (future) day.

if issue is pulled connection at PFP, drop, inside wiring, or ONT the tech should be able to resolve. If good light at PFP but poor or none at the fiber terminal is creating a work order for outside plant tech to find and repair. * damaged fiber drop from animal(s) or human cutting the fiber from digging, or nature (storms, tree limbs, etc)įor a tech the 4 main points of checking light with a light meter and or ruby red is the ONT, the fiber NID (if installed), fiber terminal, PFP. * if have fiber NID, issue with either fiber end or coupler including ants in the NID * faulty ONT requiring replacement, this would be the step if fiber light is good at ONT but not detected by ONT. There are many possible causes for RED ALARM light including LOW light condition which is more common with bad SC connection.
