SECTION 13850 (28 31 00) FIRE DETECTION AND ALARM SYSTEM ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATING FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 RELATED SECTIONS A. Section - Building Automation and Control. B. Section 13900 (21 00 00) - Fire Suppression. C. Section (27 15 00) - (Fire Alarm Communications Horizontal Cabling). 1.2 DESCRIPTION A. This section of the specification includes the furnishing, installation, connection and testing of the microprocessor controlled, intelligent reporting fire detection equipment required to form a complete, operative, coordinated system. It include, but not be limited to, alarm initiating devices, alarm notification appliances, Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), auxiliary control devices, annunciators, and wiring as shown on the drawings and specified herein. B. The fire alarm system shall comply with requirements of NFPA Standard 72 for Protected Premises Signaling Systems except as modified and supplemented by this specification. The system shall be electrically supervised and monitor the integrity of all conductors. 1. The Secondary Power Source of the fire alarm control panel will be capable of providing at least 24 hours of backup power with the ability to sustain 5 minutes in alarm at the end of the backup period. C. The fire alarm system shall comply with requirements of NFPA Standard No. 72 for Auxiliary Protected Premises Signaling Systems except as modified and supplemented by this specification. The system field wiring shall be supervised either electrically or by software-directed polling of field devices. 1. The Secondary Power Source of the fire alarm control panel will be capable of providing at least 60 hours of backup power with the ability to sustain 5 minutes in alarm at the end of the backup period. 2. The Secondary Power Source installed in a system backed up by a generator need to supply 4 hours of backup power. D. The fire alarm system shall be manufactured by an by an ISO 9001 certified company and meet the requirements of BS EN9001: ANSI/ASQC Q9001-1994. E. The FACP and peripheral devices shall be manufactured 100% by a single U.S. manufacturer (or division thereof). It’s acceptable for peripheral devices to be manufactured outside of the U.S. by a division of the U.S. based parent company.
