Transcription of SECTION 28 31 00 – FIRE DETECTION AND ALARM

1 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS SPECIFICATION GUIDELINES 28 31 00 SECTION 28 31 00 fire detection and alarm GENERAL This SECTION deals with the fire ALARM system, including the control panel and integral equipment, wiring and circuitry, initiating devices, indicating appliances, and interfaces to the fire ALARM system. Work performed shall conform to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and codes, including the National fire Protection Association Standards (NFPA), and SECTION 1600, Electrical Standards.

2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION A completely new system shall be intelligent and addressable and fully microprocessor based (unless otherwise approved as applicable by the University and AHJ) with the capability of two-way communication over signaling line circuits between intelligent/analog addressable initiating devices or addressable interfacing/control modules and the fire ALARM control panel. The new system shall utilize all new and unused equipment and materials, which are free from contamination and corrosion.

3 Voice EVAC systems shall be used in large research, clinic, classroom, and dorm buildings. If a voice evacuation system is not used, the system shall be arranged to provide distinct evacuation signals using electronic horns and strobe lights. All panels and peripheral devices shall be the standard product of a single manufacturer and shall display the manufacturer's name on each component. fire Lite fire Systems shall manufacture Main fire ALARM panel.

4 The fire ALARM control panel shall allow for loading or editing special instructions and operating sequences as required. The system is to be capable of on-site programming to accommodate facility expansion, building parameter changes, or changes as required by local codes. All software operations are to be stored in a non-volatile programmable memory within the fire ALARM control panel. Loss of primary and secondary power shall not erase the instructions stored in memory.

5 fire ALARM panel shall be programmed to show distinct, specific, and clear locations of sensing devices. All fire ALARM system components including initiation, notification and control equipment shall be FM approved, compatible for interconnection, and shall be by a single manufacturer in all cases where possible. Manufacture of main fire ALARM panel shall be fire Lite. All equipment shall be in new, clean condition with a warranty of one (1) year from the date of Owner acceptance.

6 All initiating circuits shall be arranged as Style C in accordance with NFPA 72. All notification appliance circuits shall be arranged as Style Y in accordance with NFPA 72. All signaling line circuits shall be arranged as Style 4 in accordance with NFPA 72 except for main communication circuits linking multiple FACP's together. These circuits shall be arranged as Style 7 in accordance with NFPA 72, with the circuits arranged to form a loop. All circuits of the fire ALARM control panel shall be designed for future expansion.

7 In no case shall circuit capacities exceed 80 percent of the design capacity as specified by the manufacturer. Equipment locations are shown on the drawings. These drawings form a part of this specification and, as such, the equipment locations designated shall be strictly adhered to, except the notification device locations, as shown on the drawings, which are intended to be approximate. Locations shall comply with applicable Codes. A separate spare shielded pair shall be included between the fire ALARM panels a fire ALARM enunciator panel.

8 In an existing building, all existing fire ALARM equipment shall be left untouched and in service until it is to be removed to facilitate the installation of the new system. If existing devices become a source of false alarms due to construction conditions, if coordinated with the University project manager and the approval of University fire Marshal, they may be replaced during the construction period with heat detectors. Removal of all such fire ALARM equipment shall be carefully coordinated with the University Project Manager, USA fire Marshal and the USA Department as applicable.

9 UPDATED - JULY 21, 2017 Page 1 of 15 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS SPECIFICATION GUIDELINES 28 31 00 SUBMITTALS General: Written approval and permits shall be obtained from the City of Mobile fire Department and USA fire Marshal prior to the beginning of any site installation work. Submittal Package: A complete information package concerning the fire ALARM system shall be developed and submitted to the approval authorities.

10 The purpose of this package is to allow thorough review of the proposed system design and arrangement in order to determine compliance with the specification and design drawings. The contractor is required to submit a complete package within 30 days of contract award. The submittal package shall include the following information: Complete system drawings drawn using AutoCAD Version 2006 compatible software to a scale of no less than 1/8 in. = 1 ft. Shown shall be all system components by location, type and address number.
