6-7-3: ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCEDURES:
   (A)   Acceptance testing for an in-building or in-structure radio amplification system is required, upon completion of the installation of the radio amplification system. It is the property owner's responsibility to have the radio amplification system tested to ensure that two-way coverage on each floor of the building is a minimum of DAQ3.
   (B)   Each floor of the building or structure shall be divided into a grid of approximately forty (40) equal areas. A maximum of two (2) nonadjacent areas will be allowed to fail the test. In the event that three (3) of the areas fail the test, in order to be more statistically accurate, the floor may be divided into eighty (80) equal areas. In such event, a maximum of four (4) nonadjacent areas will be allowed to fail the test. If the radio amplification system continues to fail the test after eight (8) testing attempts, the property owner shall repair, replace, alter or upgrade the radio amplification system to meet the DAQ3 coverage requirement. Talk back testing from the site to the Village's E911 Communications Center shall use a four watt (4W) UHF portable transceiver with public safety speaker/microphone and flexible antenna attached, and a five watt (5W) VHF transceiver with speaker/microphone and flexible antenna. A spot located approximately in the center of a grid area will be selected for the test, then the radio will be keyed to verify two-way communication to and from the outside of the building or structure. Once the spot has been selected, use of another spot within the grid area will not be permitted. Field strength testing instruments are to be recently calibrated (within the past 12 months) and of the frequency selective type incorporating a flexible antenna similar to the ones used on the hand held transceivers.
   (C)   The gain values of all amplifiers shall be measured and the results kept on file with the property owner so that the measurements can be verified each year during the annual tests. In the event that the measurements results become lost, the property owner will be required to rerun the acceptance test to reestablish the gain values. (Ord. 3018, 6-20-2019)
