Abstract
A monitoring and testing system which is designed to automatically seal off the system from its gas supply and monitor internal pressure during that time to perform regulatory testing. The scheduling can be automated and can be done without maintenance personnel having to monitor the time passage and pressure manually. The system may also be designed to monitor operation of the air compressor, or related gas supply device, and evaluate if the operation of the gas supply is operating in a fashion indicative of a larger than desired leak. This effectively allows the system to monitor pressure changes during regular operation and on a somewhat continuous basis.
