PDX DCEO Qualification Card

What is the policy for critical equipment maintenance regarding: USB/ATS Maintenance

One USB/ATS per building down for service. Two USB/ATS down for service in the AZ if the AZ has five buildings.

What is the policy for performing maintenance during the following weather conditions: Ice/Snow

SUSPEND all electrical, generator, and mechanical maintenance for the duration of an ice storm, or if total snow accumulation will exceed 2 inches.

What is the policy for performing maintenance during the following weather conditions: Rain with lightning/thunder

Rollback** and suspend ALL electrical and generator maintenance if thunderstorms are within a 60-mile radius of any PDX facility. Do not restart any maintenance until 30 minutes after the last voltage sag has taken place and the weather radar shows the storms to be dissipating. Be aware of new storms appearing or moving into the area.

What is the policy for performing maintenance during the following weather conditions: Rain without lightning/thunder

Maintenance procedures can proceed as long as     Rain accumulations do not exceed ¼ in per hour.     NO Thunder/Lightning predicted or experienced.     Wind speed predicted not to exceed 30 mph or expected to gust in excess of     30 mph.

What is the policy for performing maintenance during the following weather conditions: Wind

Suspend mobile crane operations of wind exceeds 30 mph or the wind speed expected to gust in excess of 30 mph. (as per mobile crane ops guide) Rollback* and suspend all intrusive electrical work if the wind is expected to gust or exceed 30 mph sustained. (as per UEC)

What is the policy for resetting breakers for breakers <600 volts and 32 amps and lower?

For critical load breakers (<600volts) 32 amps and under, technicians are allowed to reset the breaker once without determining the why it “tripped”.

What is the policy for resetting breakers for breakers >32 amps?

For all breakers greater than 32 amps there must be an escalation performed along with determining a known or an unknown issue before breaker can be reset and closed.

What situations should be escalated and what information is needed during an update?

Utility issues (Waveform Captures, Loss of Utility, Switchgear Issues)      On gens or utility?      Site stable?

UPS alarms (Unit Model and Serial Number will be needed)      Load Stable?      On inverter or bypass?      Alarm still active?

Generator issues      Is generator available to run if needed?      Can USB be tied?

Communication (Loss of comms with Foreseer or BMS and associated devices)      Cooling/power stable?      What systems have lost communication?      Increased rounds in progress? Loss of ICW      Reason for loss?      Tank levels?      Cooling mode?      Aisle temps?      Racks status?

Purge event/cooling loss      High room temperature?      Pressure issues?      Still in Purge?      air handlers available?      In manual or auto?

Any region-wide event

When should EOTs begin escalation?

Immediately

Answer the following questions that pertain to “dry” pre-action sprinkler systems: Discuss the temperature ratings of the glass bulbs

Answer the following questions that pertain to “dry” pre-action sprinkler systems: List all the areas in your building that use this type of system

Typically Loading docks areas or any area where freezing pipes is a possibility.

Answer the following questions that pertain to “dry” pre-action sprinkler systems: What is a Deluge valve and how does it work?

Per NFPA 25 code 3.5.2, a Deluge Valve is defined as “a water supply control valve intended to be operated by actuation of an automatic detection system that is installed in the same area as the discharge devices.” When the valve is tripped, water flows into the piping system discharging through all spray nozzles or sprinklers at the same time. Deluge Valves are typically open head systems that have some type of detection line that will release the water at the Deluge Valve so it can be delivered to the nozzles/sprinkler heads on the system for suppression. In our Pre-Action sprinkler system; compressed air holds water out of the pipes like the Dry sprinkler system. The difference here is the Deluge valve used between the air and the water, and the procedure for which water will discharge. The Deluge valve is electrically activated once the specific parameters are met for it to activate have happened.

Answer the following questions that pertain to “dry” pre-action sprinkler systems: What is the purpose of the pre-action system

It is the safest system. The pipes are dry until 2 smoke alarms (or 1 VESDA) detects a fire and a sprinkler head must be broken for air to evacuate, with the water following. This ensures equipment is  protected in cases where the impairment is incidental.

Answer the following questions that pertain to “dry” pre-action sprinkler systems: Where and how can you isolate the system?

You can isolate this system via control valves for that zone in the fire riser room.

Answer the following questions that pertain to “wet” sprinkler systems: Describe how the system works

Wet sprinkler systems automatically provide water in the event of a broken sprinkler head (always have water at the head)

Answer the following questions that pertain to “wet” sprinkler systems: List all the areas in your building that use this type of system

Typically used in Office areas.

Answer the following questions that pertain to “wet” sprinkler systems: Where and how can you isolate the system?

Wet systems can be isolated by shutting the associated isolation valve in the fire riser room.

Describe how to respond to the following FACP alarms: Fire alarm

Fire Alarm on the FACP is the most serious and you should respond in kind. Johnson Controls will contact DCEO in the event of a “Fire Alarm”. Treat the situation as if there is a real fire on-site. Call the on-call and let them know what is going on. Johnson Controls will contact the Fire Department. EOT’s that are acting fire safety will run the building to make sure everyone is out (safely). Disregard any door alarms.

Describe how to respond to the following FACP alarms: PERDIX fire alarm

Fire Alarm on the FACP is the most serious and you should respond in kind. Johnson Controls will contact DCEO in the event of a “Fire Alarm”. Treat the situation as if there is a real fire on-site. Call the on-call and let them know what is going on. Johnson Controls will contact the Fire Department.

Describe how to respond to the following FACP alarms: Supervisory alarm

A zone or device may have been disabled. Call Johnson Controls (also the on-call manager) and let them know you are investigating. The FACP will tell you which zone or device has been disabled and find out why it is.
