Motion made by Mr. Richard T. Aicher, Jr. and seconded by Mr. Mitchell R. Malec, and unanimously passed, that the Agenda items not be discussed in the order in which they were presented.

Robert Shoremount, Chairman, Robert Boyer, Vice Chairman, and George De Luca, Administrative Analyst, Fire Alarm, Burglar Alarm & Locksmith Advisory Committee, appeared before the Board concerning the Township of Hamilton (Mercer County) who is denying a burglar and fire alarm permit unless a licensed electrical contractor obtains the permit. The Township indicates that an alarm contractor cannot install an earth ground without an electrical contractor’s licensee. Mr. De Luca asks that the Board review proposed correspondence to be sent to the Township of Hamilton advising that fire alarm, burglar alarm and locksmiths are authorized to perform all work necessary to affect the installation of work within their respective disciplines up to and including connection to branch circuit wiring.

Mr. Shoremount stated that the electrical inspector for the Township of Hamilton will not allow a burglar and fire alarm contractor to install the grounding electrode conductor. The electrical inspector is requesting that a licensed electrical contractor submit a permit to install the earth ground on the burglar alarm panel.

Mr. Shoremount also stated that the Committee has reviewed its regulations and it would appear that burglar alarm installers are licensed to do this work. Licensees are allowed to install, service, repair, or alter these systems.

Mr. Shoremount brought with him two transformers; a 110 volt transformer used by burglar alarm and some fire alarm installers and a two prong transformer with a low voltage output (18 volt AC transformer which is used to convert to DC to charge the battery). It is plugged into an outlet which is installed by a licensed electrical contractor.

Mr. Shoremount stated that the transformers are UL listed. This produces 18 volts AC which connects into the input of the panel. The diagram depicts the circuit board connecting to the control panel with metal mounting screws. The second illustration shows the panel earth ground connections. The manufacturer instructions for the Vista 128B state to run an earth ground to terminal 30 on the circuit board with a 16 gauge wire. A non-corrosive metal strap firmly secured to the cold water pipe is to be used.

In the absence of the second type of transformer, the control panel still requires a ground.

Mr. Flaherty stated that he understands what the Committee is trying to accomplish which the Board is not against; however, there are licensed electrical contractors that cannot ground correctly. Licensees would have to be educated on which ground can and cannot be done as there is a difference between residential and commercial.

Mr. Flaherty also stated that the licensee may follow the manufacturer’s instructions, but the work will not be performed according to code.

Mr. Shoremount stated that their examination does include questions concerning grounding and bonding. The Committee has also discussed the requirement that licensees must attend two hours on the Uniform Construction Code, ADA, Barrier Free and life safety courses.

Mr. Papademas stated that the municipalities must determine whether the installation is an earth ground or equipment ground.

Mr. Malec stated that according to the description provided to the Board, it is not an earth ground. The manufacturer says earth ground to a water pipe; that is not an earth ground. Mr. Malec also stated that the Township of Hamilton is requiring a burglar or fire alarm license and if an earth ground is being installed an electrical contractors license.

Mr. Boyer stated that it does become an earth ground in a properly installed system.

Mr. Shoremount stated that the other literature indicates that the modules on the Radionics control panels are depicted outside the main control board.

Mr. Schooley stated that the question is whether or not burglar and fire alarm contractors are permitted to install the equipment ground or bonding jumper to complete their installation?

Motion made by Mr. Richard T. Aicher, Jr. and seconded by Mr. Mitchell R. Malec, and unanimously passed, that a letter be sent to the Township of Hamilton advising them that the installation of an equipment ground or bonding jumper is included in the scope of practice of a burglar alarm, fire alarm and locksmith installer as long as it is performed according to the National Electrical Code.

The Board requested that a letter be sent to the Department of Community Affairs asking that this matter be addressed via a DCA Codes and Standards Construction Code Communicator article.

The first extension for Knight Electric, Inc. will expire on March 24, 2009 and Mr. Pavia would like to complete four outstanding projects.

Motion made by Mr. James H. Flaherty and seconded by Mr. Richard T. Aicher, Jr., and unanimously passed, that a letter be sent to Mr. Pavia advising him that pursuant to N.J.S.A. 45:5A-14 the firm of Knight Electrical, Inc. has been granted a second six-month continuance of business under permit #6768. The Board requests that Mr. Pavia forward to it a copy of the bond and certificate of general liability insurance.

The Board would like to know how long Mr. Giovinazzo has been under a doctor’s care; the approximate date he become incapacitated and the number of hours he can remain in a seated position. Additionally, should Mr. Giovinazzo want to continue his business, he may hire a licensed electrical contractor to endorse the business permit to his company.

Ms. Fried stated that Warshauer is trying to organize its classes for the new renewal cycle and will soon advertise same. Ms. Fried asked if her application will be reviewed by the Board at its April 2009 meeting.

Mr. Malec stated that the Board will begin reviewing continuing education course applications at its April 1, 2009 meeting for the next triennial renewal period.

At its February 4, 2009 meeting, the Committee reviewed a letter received January 21, 2009 from Robert Vaccarella concerning the electrical contractor’s examination he took in 2008 and again in 2009. Mr. Vaccarella stated that his ADA accommodations were not met; proctors displayed disruptive behavior such as answering their cell phone, they were fidgety and tried to carry on a conversation with Mr. Vaccarella. Mr. Vaccarella also stated that he received a failing score of 69% and believes he received this score because of the conditions of the examination.

Mr. Vaccarella further stated that in 2008, he was approved for the ADA accommodations; however, when he arrived at the testing site he was advised by the proctor that there was no indication that ADA provisions had been set up.

The Committee requested that Mr. Flaherty speak with Andy Parker of Thomson Prometric concerning their ADA procedures.

The Board reviewed an explanation received from Mr. Parker.

DAG Provost stated that it does not appear that Mr. Parker answered the Board’s questions concerning the proctors; he only answered the questions regarding ADA accommodations.

Mr. Malec stated that the Board is still unsure as to whether or not ADA protocol is being followed by the proctors.

The Board requested that Thomson Prometric be requested to forward to it the packet of information that is provided to proctors. The Board would also like to know what the responsibilities are of the proctors.

Motion made by Mr. James H. Flaherty and seconded by Mr. Mitchell R. Malec, and unanimously passed, that Mr. Vaccarella be allowed to re-take the examination with the proper ADA Accommodations and at no charge to him. Additionally, because Mr. Vaccarella’s examination was improperly conducted, the test should be considered null; therefore, Mr. Vaccarella should not have to wait the required six months before being allowed to retake same.

Further, it is the opinion of the Board that the taking of telephone calls, whether or not the telephone rings or vibrates, is not a proper occurrence during the testing time.

Motion made by Mr. James H. Flaherty and seconded by Mr. Mitchell R. Malec, and unanimously passed, that the Board go into Executive Closed Session to consider and to review consumer complaints, investigative reports and other information received pursuant to the Board’s investigative authority in order to determine whether violations of the law, including Board regulations have occurred. The results of the deliberations will be made known when and if the Board determines to initiate disciplinary action or other law enforcement action.

Meeting adjourned at 2:30 P.M.

An Appointment Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 21, 2009, at 9:00 A.M. A Business Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 4, 2009, at 9:00 A.M.
