----------------------------
Wednesday, May 29, 2024 DF: RTC: There is an error in the Life Safety Plan. The exit sign is located incorrectly on the secure side, this will not allow for a secondary means of egress from the waiting room since there may be greater than 50 occupants in the waiting room.
The Delayed-Egress RIM device is placed on the waiting room side of the door.
The "Push-Button" deactivation is not required (the use of the word "push button" for this application was incorrect) on the egress side and is not required on the ingress side with the use of a Delayed-Egress device which has a panic bar. There is an occupancy sensor located on the corridor 118 side that deactivates the mag-lock upon approach and allows for free "ingress" into the Waiting Room. Upon approaching the door on the Egress side, an occupant may depress the panic bar (NOT PUSH BUTTON) and an alarm will sound and access will be granted within 15 seconds. A sign to this affect will be placed on the door. On the egress side.

Door 118: Hardware Set 9.0. This door is normally closed and secured. Presentation of authorized credentials deactivates the RIM Exit Device latch and allows free egress/entry into the ASC. The door relocks upon closing. In addition to this, DEPRESSING THE PANIC BAR at the door will deactivate the delayed egress rim device and allow free egress from the Waiting Room. For redundancy, a motion sensor is to be provided on the egress side of the opening. This system is also tied into the fire alarm system and in the event of an activation OR a loss of power, the door becomes a normal passage door. Additional signage will be provided at this door for egress purposes. Signage to read "PUSH UNTIL ALARM SOUNDS. DOOR CAN BE OPENED IN 15 SECONDS." Compliant with 101:7.2.1.6.2"
