Answer to: What’s Wrong With This?
The AHJ failed the installation and based his decision on NFPA 101, The Life Safety Code, 2012 Edition. In part, he cited section 7.2.16.2 (1) a sensor is needed to unlock the door upon detection of an approaching occupant; (3) doors shall unlock from a manual release device; and (4) activation of the building fire alarm system shall unlock the doors.
