Each supply and exhaust damper shall be provided with a re-openable fire/smoke damper operator control switch. This switch shall be a three position switch located in the fire control room and capable of providing the following functions:
A. Automatic positioning of all dampers required to achieve the desired smoke removal system;
B. Manually opening and closing of any desired damper;
C. Each control switch and its indicating lights shall be clearly labeled as required in Section 15.100.590 of this chapter;
D. Dampers shall fully open and/or close within sixty (60) seconds of activation;
E. Fire stats shall be overridden in emergency conditions and shall not hinder the operation or cause premature closure of the damper.
The system shall be installed so that the override control switches can be manually taken out of the automatic position and put in any other position or back into automatic without requiring any portion of the life safety system to be reset. (Prior code §§ 9.28.1257, 15.13.1311)
