1.15.5 ADDITIONAL TEST

a. One detector of each type will be disconnected and subjected to slow dust build - up by
means as desired by the Bidder and again connected in the circuit.

b. The FACP shall indicate the changed ambient levels and automatically adjust the
analogue values for the same. These Detectors are to be replaced by new Detectors of
identical type and the FACP shall then be programmed accordingly and checked. The
Bidder will take custody of the removed detectors without additional cost to the Owner.

c. Any part of the Loop shall be short-circuited. The FACP shall indicate the communication
failure of all the devices connected in the short-circuited segment. After the short circuit
is corrected, the Fault Isolator shall return to its normal status automatically, this being

 reflected in the FACP. The Loop shall then be in normal operation again. Any part of the
Loop shall be de wired and tested as given above.

1.15.6 All other tests as required by the client at the time of handing over.
