Check the installation, components, specifications, and spacing of indoor fire hydrants ； 　　2. Fire inspection of the installation of rooftop fire hydrants, freezing prevention measures, and the length of their water discharge streams, etc ； 　　3. Check the installation, diameter, and color of the indoor fire hydrant piping network, to ensure the availability of fire-fighting water as well as the proper connection pattern ； 　　4. Fire protection testing: static pressure, dynamic pressure, and the length of the water column at the ground floor and at the most unfavorable location for indoor fire hydrants ； 　　5. Check the settings and functionality of the manual pump start button. Automatic sprinkler (fog) fire extinguishing system: http://img.proxy.xmtbang.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmmbiz.qpic.cn%2Fmmbiz%2FCvKLTS6vnuf4212JDBX765hhEz7KMBpNCY3znQk9iagNUOIvpoBeGNHnUFXSibm6d1v9LeInmIknnpOgsicibichokg%2F0%3F 1.

Check the installation and functionality of the water flow indicator and signal valve ； 　　3. Installation of fire detection and alarm valve assemblies, status of valves, various components and their functions ； 　　4. Installation, appearance, protection spacing and coverage area of fire detection sprinklers, as well as the distance from adjacent obstacles, etc ； 　　5. Conduct functional tests on the alarm valve assembly ； 　　6. Conduct functional tests on the automatic sprinkler (fog) system. Smoke control, exhaust, and ventilation and air conditioning systems: http://img.proxz.xmtbang.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmmbiz.qpic.cn%2Fmmbiz%2FCvKLTS6vnuf4212JDBX765hhEz7KMBpNAMdQ69z4kpo9uMtHTBR18jz6zl3R2KhSl9SKueJ6IicqFziakGXh0RWQ%2F0%3F 1. Inspect the ducts, fans, and air outlets of the positive pressure air supply system, and measure their wind speed and positive pressure levels ； 　　2. Status and functions of the fans, air ducts, fire dampers, supply air outlets in the fire detection and smoke exhaust system, as well as the setup of primary and backup power sources ； 　　3.
