1 Session, 2.5 Hours Total. The purpose and scope of this class is to serve as a coaching course to better prepare a Stationary Engineer to be successful when taking the closed book California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) multiple choice Certificate Test on the Weekly Inspection, Testing & Maintenance of Building Fire Pumps. The instructor will provide an overview of the law, guidance on completing the CSFM forms, weekly fire pump test study material, and in-class review of weekly fire pump test procedures and information. By California State law each building must maintain a copy of the NFPA 25 – 2006 Edition Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water Based Fire Protection Systems, which is also the required textbook to bring to class. NFPA 20 – 2007 Edition, Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, is recommended for test preparation purposes, but not required for the class or by the State Fire Marshal to be at the building site. This seminar will also provide access to our On-Line multiple choice practice test based on reference CSFM Material.

MOTOR BASICS W/METER (PREVIOUSLY PROPER MEGGER USAGE)
1 Session, 4 Hours Total. Students will receive a SUPCO M500 Megger when attending this seminar. Students will be instructed in some of the basic motor types, as well as the categories of the insulation in the motors. Discussion on why the newer motors need better insulation and the proper techniques to “Megging” a motor. A Megger can also detect wiring problems in conduit. This is an important tool in diagnosing grounded compressor motors, deteriorating insulation in electric motors and insulated wires.
