IC 5post indicator valve6 or main gate valves shall be equipped with a supervisory switch. The switch shall be mounted so as not to interfere with the normal operation of the valve and ad?usted to operate within two revolutions toward the closed position of the valve control, or when the stem has moved no more than one$fifth of the distance from its normal position. The supervisory switch shall be contained in a weatherproof aluminum housing, which shall provide a 9/1 inch 5', mm6 conduit entrance and incorporate the necessary facilities for attachment to the valves. The switch housing shall be finished in red ba&ed enamel. The entire installed assembly shall be tamper proof and arranged to cause a switch operation if the housing cover is removed, or if the unit is removed from its mounting. Calve supervisory switches shall be provided and connected under this section and installed by mechanical contractor.

PART 3.0 - E#ECUTION 3.1. INSTALLATION:

A. %.

Installation shall be in accordance with the N-*, NF A "#, local and state codes, as shown on the drawings, and as recommended by the ma?or equipment manufacturer. All conduit, ?unction boxes, conduit supports and hangers shall be concealed in finished areas and may be exposed in unfinished areas. !mo&e detectors shall not be installed prior to the system programming and test period. If construction is ongoing during this period, measures shall be ta&en to protect smo&e detectors from contamination and physical damage. All fire detection and alarm system devices, control panels and remote annunciators shall be flush mounted when located in finished areas and may be surface mounted when located in unfinished areas. At the final inspection a factory trained representative of the manufacturer of the ma?or equipment shall perform the tests in !ection 9.# T-!T!. TEST: rovide the service of a competent, factory$trained engineer or technician authori<ed by the manufacturer of the fire alarm equipment to technically supervise and participate during all of the ad?ustments and tests for the system.
