present in the system.

conditions are accepted.
Step 2. Silence the alarms by pressing
the SIGNAL SILENCE KEY.
Step 3. Close the Main Control Valve.
Step 4. Place the Air Compressor Dis-
connect Switch to the OFF position.
Step 5. Open the Drain and Flow Test
Valves.
Step 6. Replace operated sprinklers.
Step 7. After the system drains com-
pletely, close the Drain and Flow Test
Valves.
Step 8. Place the Air Compressor Dis-
connect Switch to the ON position and
allow the system to automatically rees-
tablish its normal air pressure of 10 to
14 psi.
