FAS "Defeat" Procedures

by Mark Stenning, Dec. 20, 2006 (here the relevant sections only are recorded)

Please note that any maintenance on, or modifications to, the Fire Alarm System cannot proceed without a Work Permit from the 500MeV Operations group. Furthermore, until such time as the policy is reviewed in the light of a revised Configuration Management TSOP for the united accelerator systems division (in progress), requests from outside the 500MeV Ops group for the temporary disarming of FAS detection devices must come in the form of a 500 MeV (TRIUMF) Work Permit. The disarming will not take place before the Work Permit is signed by 500 MeV Ops. It is acknowledged that this policy increases the administrative workload, but it is being implemented as an interim measure to enhance fire safety.
