Subject: Re: trip time per nfpa 25 I would check to make sure that the air supply to the DPV is working as it should. The time to trip should never be that long. Is the by-pass open? Sounds like the make-up air is supplying to much air. The make up air needs to be restricted. The supply line

From old time experience there may be obstructions at the dry inspector's test valve or other that is obstructing the flow of air. From insurance inspector days anything over 3 minutes needs further investigation. I would have called 15 minutes a failure in the 60's and 70's. Arthur Tiroly ATCO
