MINNETONKA CENTER FOR THE ARTS
CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY TESTING MANUAL
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The following Certificate of Occupancy Testing (Start Up and Construction Verification) is a
process developed to aide the contractors in assuring a functional building at the time of
requesting the Certificate of Occupancy from the local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is a
systematic approach to the testing /verification process to allow the Project Team to verify
equipment/function and identify any unforeseen conditions that could affect Substantial
Completion. This plan does not preclude any design/build contractor from their responsibilities,
whether noted or not in this plan. This plan is divided into several sections with description of
each test/inspection and supporting information to aide in the aforementioned process. Each
section describes a brief outline of typical sequences of operation, typical test procedures, test
equipment, test reporting formats, and test participants.

• Signal will be sent to the fire alarm panel and remote annunciatior.
• Signal will be sent to off site monitoring center
• Make up air handling units will shut down.
• All fire/smoke dampers will close.
• AudioNisual alarms will be activated through out the facility
The following devices will indicate supervisory signal only at the fire alarm panel, remote
annunciator and off site monitoring station.
• HVAC duct smoke detectors
• Sprinkler system tamper switches
• Fire system storage tank pressure switch
• Fire system storage tank high/low float switch
The following devices will indicate trouble signal only at the fire alarm panel, remote
annunciators.

one or all of the aforementioned activities will occur. Example—Activate Smoke Detector
and observes strobe and horns, smoke/fire damper close. Test every device for signal at the
FA Panel. A visual check on all devices can occur prior to sequence testing. A separate
check for the audibility of the horns will be conducted throughout the fire alarm system.
C. TEST EQUIPMENT:

SYSTEM#2—TAMPER AND FLOW SWITCHES
A. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION:
Sprinkler system per NFPA. The devices instalied by the Fire Protection Contractor and
connected to by the Fire Alarm Contractor consisting of tamper switches, flow switches,
pressure switches and level switches which will report as supervisory alarms or alarms
respectively, at the main FACP, remote annunciator, and remote monitoring station.
The sprinkler system is supplied water from a 2,250-gallon storage tank sized for 15 minutes
of operation. This tank is equipped with an air line to maintain constant pressure on the tank.
The following functions are monitored by the fire alarm system and will initiate a supervisory
alarm at the fire alarm panel, remote announciator and off site monitoring station.
• Air line pressure switch will activate on loss of air pressure
• Water float switch will activate if water level is either too high or too low
B. TEST PROCEDURES:
Observe and record the supervision of each tamper switch, the alarm of each flow switch.
Proper monitoring by the fire alarm system to be recorded. Flow switches to be adjusted to
respond between 20 and 40 seconds after start of flow; ideally at 30 seconds. Fire storage
take air pressure switch and water level float switches will be observed and recorded.
C. TEST EQUIPMENT:
Watch
D. RECORDING FORMAT:
Record the proper operation and monitoring of each device.

SYSTEM#3—HVAC SHUTDOWN AND FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS CONTROL
A. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION:
Combination fire/smoke dampers are located throughout the facility. Activation of the fire
alarm system will close all combination fire smoke/damper and shut down the following listed
air handling units. Upon fire alarm reset all fire/smoke dampers will open and air handiing
units will automatic restart. In addition make-up air units over 2000 CFM have duct detectors
which will shut down individual units when activated.

B. TEST PROCEDURES:
Activate fire alarm system and confirm all fire/smoke dampers close and associated air
handling equipment shuts down. Reset system and confirm dampers return to operational
position and air handling units automatically start and return to normal operational control.
C. TEST EQUIPMENT:
None

SYSTEM#5—ELEVATOR SYSTEM
A. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION:
Onty smoke detectors in the elevator lobby or elevator machine room have the capability of
initiating the elevator recall to the primary floor(1� Floor). If the 15t floor lobby smoke
detector was initiated the elevator will recall to an alternate floor(2nd Fioor). Once elevators
have reached their recail floor they are set for fire department use.
In addition to the smoke detectors, there are heat detectors located in the elevator machine
room and elevator shaft pit. Activation of either of these heat detectors wili shunt power to
the elevator.
B. TEST PROCEDURE:
During the test of the fire alarm devices, confirm that the elevators are responding properly.
Observe and record return of elevators to primary floor. Set any fire alarm device on primary
floor into alarm and observe and record return to alternate floor. Under fire mode observe
and record that elevator control can only be initiated by fireman's override key. Observe and
record the proper operation of the telephone and intercom in each elevator.

annunciator panel with activation of visual and audible alarms in the kitchen area only.
2. An alarm is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
3. The respective kitchen hood exhaust fan will remain running, however, the make up air
handling unit MAU-5 will shut down.
4. Mechanical gas valves serving appliances under the hood will close via a signal from the
Ansul suppression system panet.
5. The electrical power for all equipment under the hood in alarm will be shunted at the
breaker panels via a signal from the Ansul suppression system panel.
6. Manual pull station is located at the path of egress from the kitchen area.
B. TEST PROCEDURE:
Observe and record the proper automatic and manual sequence of operation and alarm/reset
conditions for each kitchen exhaust hood.
