B. Observe the upstream pressure gauge: it should indicate that the normal supply of water pressure to the
Water Control Valve is maintained.
5.1.2
Monthly Inspection and Test
A. Complete
Weekly Inspection.

C. The Water Control Valve trim, releasing devices such as Solenoid valve, URV-M device and manual
release must be activated at full flow.
D. Trip test the Pre action System with the electric and pneumatic system activation. Operate Control Panel
by operating the Heat Detectors; also release air pressure to operate the URV-M. The Control Panel shall
be tripped according to the method suggested by the Panel manufacturer. Observe upstream Pressure
Gauge while full flow is on.
NOTE
: Water will be discharged to the drain. In cases where a Sprinkler- Piping Isolating Valve is not
installed, another arrangement must be made in order to perform the trip test without causing water
damage.
E. Place the system out of service. (See Removal instructions above).
F. Clean the priming strainer prior to resetting the Water Control Valve.
