907.20.7 Hold-Open Devices

NYC Fire Code 2014 > 9 Fire Protection Systems > 907 Fire Alarm and Detection Systems > 907.20 Inspection, Testing and Other Maintenance > 907.20.7 Hold-Open Devices
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The fire alarm system connections for hold-open devices installed on fire doors pursuant to the Building Code, including hold-open devices provided for vertical exit enclosure doors pursuant to the exception to Section BC 708.7 of the Building Code, shall be inspected, tested and otherwise maintained in accordance with FC 703.2 and 907.20 and NFPA 72. Hold-open devices and automatic door closers provided for such vertical exit enclosure doors shall be inspected and tested annually to ensure the proper functioning of:
  1. the manual control on the fire alarm system control panel, or the fire command center where a fire command center is required, that transmits a signal to release the hold-open devices;
  2. the fire alarm system output programming, which automatically transmits a signal to release the hold-open devices upon activation of an automatic alarm initiating device or manual elevator recall;
  3. the circuitry for each hold-open device, which upon receipt of a manual or automatic signal, releases the door; and
  4. each automatic door closer, which, upon release of the door by the hold-open device, mechanically moves the door to its fully closed position.
