Verify and document the following tests prior to the functional testing:
(a) Carbon monoxide control sensor is factory-calibrated as specified by Section 120.6(c).
(b) The sensor is located in the highest expected concentration location in its zone as specified by Section 120.6(c).
(c) Control setpoint is at or below the CO concentration permitted by Section 120.6(c).
Conduct the following tests with garage ventilation system operating in occupied mode and with actual garage CO concentration well below setpoint.
Step 1: With all sensors active and all sensors reading below 25 ppm, observe that fans are at minimum speed and fan motor demand is no more than 30 percent of design wattage.
Step 2: Apply CO span gas with a concentration of 30 ppm, and a concentration accuracy of +/- 2%, one by one to 50% of the sensors but no more than 10 sensors per garage and to at least one sensor as specified by proximity zone. For each sensor tested observe:
(a) CO reading is between 25 and 35 ppm.
(b) Ventilation system ramps to full speed when span gas is applied.
(c) Ventilation system ramps to minimum speed when span gas is removed.
Step 3: Temporarily override the programmed sensor calibration/replacement period to 5 minutes.
(d) Wait 5 minutes and observe that fans ramp to full speed and an alarm is received by the facility operators. Restore calibration/replacement period.
Step 4: Temporarily place the system in unoccupied mode and override the programmed unoccupied sensor alarm differential from 30% for 4 hours to 1% for 5 minutes. Wait 5 minutes and observe that fans ramp to full speed and an alarm is received by the facility operators. Restore programming.
Step 5: Temporarily override the programmed occupied sensor proximity zone alarm differential from 30% for 4 hours to 1% for 5 minutes. Wait 5 minutes and observe that fans ramp to full speed and an alarm is received by the facility operators. Restore programming.
