Re: Sprinkler Monitoring

["Bob Worthy" <securinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't believe there is any grandfathering when an AHJ wants something. A
sprinkled building usually falls under central station service as required,
but than again I just ran across one last week that had a system but not
connected to any flows. The new owner had the local AHJ in for an inspection
before he bought the building and got a clean bill of health, but it is not
up to code on several issues. Go figure. In Florida, you do not need an
engineer stamp on anything under $5,000. Have the sprinkler company add the
flow and tamper. You are only adding a couple of modules or connecting a
couple of wires, which ever the case, and programming them in. Shouldn't be
over 5 grand if the same rules apply. I would have the fire department put
the time frame in writing, do the work, and apply for the permit as, work in
progress under instructions from the fire department. Let one city
department work it out with the other city department if they have a problem
with it.
