SECURITY SYSTEMS TESTING, VALIDATION, AND COMMISSIONING
What it is
A properly installed security system must function in a way that serves the needs of the client and end users. Protus3 provides security systems testing and validation services as part of a complete security system design and/or as an independent service when systems are designed by others.
How it works
Equipment Start-up
- Oversee and participate in the start-up of all security electronic equipment
- Verify and inspect all associated security equipment located in each security room, including rack layouts, terminations, wiring, labeling, equipment rack ventilation, and all other associated requirements
Commissioning and Testing
- Review the contractor’s testing documentation for each system
- Test each system individually to verify that all equipment operates according to the plans and specifications and as programmed
- Verify that all secondary security equipment operates as designed and programmed
- Provide documentation for each system outlining all items with a pass/fail comment
- Provide a document for all outstanding punch list items that will need to be corrected before final acceptance
- Provide recommendations for modifications that may be needed to meet the specifications
Final Acceptance and Close-out
- Verify that punch list items have been corrected and that components operate as designed
- Conduct a thorough test of the systems with the owner and designated staff to simulate typical working conditions
- Provide recommendations for corrections as needed
- Review as-built documentation, O&M Manuals, warranty information, spare parts, required service parameters, and training documentation
- Provide a document indicating the systems are performing and operating as designed and programmed
