How often should a sprinkler system that is offline be inspected until it is restored to service?

A sprinkler system that is offline requires continuous inspection 24 hours a day to ensure that any potential hazards or issues can be promptly identified and addressed. This level of vigilance is necessary because without an operational sprinkler system, the risk of fire damage increases significantly. Continuous monitoring allows for the immediate detection of any conditions that could lead to fires or other emergencies.

Understanding that once a sprinkler system is taken offline, it no longer provides its intended fire protection. Therefore, having dedicated personnel or systems in place to monitor the area can help mitigate risks until the system is brought back into service. Other suggested frequencies of inspection do not provide the same level of assurance and responsiveness as continuous monitoring does, making it crucial to maintain constant oversight in such scenarios.
