REQUIRED WATER LEVEL AND LOW AIR ALARM
TESTS
Perform the water level and low air alarm tests on a frequency required
by the current NFPA-25 code. The authority having jurisdiction in the
area may require these tests on a more frequent basis. Verify these
requirements by contacting the authority having jurisdiction in the
affected area.
NOTICE
• If a Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator is installed, ensure that the
authority having jurisdiction is notified that the water level and
low air alarm tests are in progress. Failure to close the isolation
ball valve of the Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator may cause the
valve to trip, resulting in a false alarm.
1. Notify the authority having jurisdiction, remote station alarm
monitors, and those in the affected area that the water level and
low air alarm tests will be performed.
2. If a Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator is installed, close the
isolation ball valve.
3. Open the water supply main drain valve fully to flush the water
supply of any contaminants.
4. Close the water supply main drain valve.
5.
Close the water supply main control valve.
6. Partially open the system main drain valve slowly. Confirm that
water is not flowing from the drain. NOTE: If water is flowing from
the drain, the system may not have drained properly. In this case,
follow all steps in the “Resetting the System” section.
7.
Record the system air pressure at which the low air alarm
activates.
8. Close the system main drain valve.
9. Close the slow-fill ball valve on the AMTA (if equipped).
10.
Open the fast-fill ball valve on the AMTA. Bring the pressure back
up to the normal system pressure.
11. When the normal system air pressure is reached, close the fast-fill
ball valve on the AMTA.
12.
Open the slow-fill ball valve on the AMTA.
13. If a Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator is installed, open the
isolation ball valve.
14. Open the water supply main drain valve.
CAUTION
• Take precautions when opening the water supply main control
valve, since water will flow from all open system valves.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in property damage.
15. Open the water supply main control valve slowly until water flows
steadily from the open water supply main drain valve.
16.
Close the water supply main drain valve when a steady flow of
water occurs.
17. Open the water supply main control valve fully.
18. Confirm that all valves are in their normal operating positions (refer
to the table below).

service. Provide test results to the authority having jurisdiction, if
required.
