REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS AT EGLIN AFB:

FIRE ALARM TRANSCEIVERS

All Fire Alarm transceivers shall be standalone units and completely compatible with the existing Monaco Enterprises Model D-21-M central station system.

Transceivers shall have the appropriate number of zones to interface with the Fire Alarm Control

Panel and other required equipment. The authority having jurisdiction shall approve the fire alarm zones. Transceivers shall operate on a frequency of 141.3625 MHZ. Transceivers shall not be mounted higher than 60 inches from floor level.

**Notes:

Monaco Audio Board and Relay Board are not required and shall not be installed.

External activation of in-building MNS will be the function of 96 CS.

Lightning arrestors shall be mounted IAW installation manuals from the manufacturer and in a location easily accessible for maintenance with reasonable effort and without removal of additional facility finishes (sheet rock, ceiling grid, etc).

The installer is responsible to determine the proper location and type of antenna to be utilized.

When it is determined that the use of a directional (YAGI) antenna is required, the following shall apply. YAGI antennas installed on buildings shall be mounted on 1 inch heavy wall galvanized rigid conduit, utilizing positive means to prevent the antenna and/or mast from twisting by wind.

In cases where it is determined that an “Omni” antenna will be sufficient, the antenna may be mounted on ¾ inch rigid electrical conduit or a mast of proved equal strength.

Coaxial cable shall be enclosed in metal conduit from the transceiver to the antenna. In cases where overhead outdoor routing is deemed necessary the cable shall be installed in accordance with all codes and directives. Coaxial cables running overhead shall be approved for the purpose and installed accordingly. Coaxial length will be used to determine if low loss coaxial cable is necessary. Measures shall be taken to avoid sharp bends or “kinking” of coaxial cables.

The installer shall demonstrate the forward and the reflected power of installed antenna systems prior to acceptance in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications

AC power sources for the transceiver shall be protected by surge/lightning suppressors.

Suppressors shall not be installed within the enclosure of the transceiver.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS

Control panels must be located in office/administrative space or other rooms with similar temperature/humidity controls — control panels shall not be located in the aircraft servicing areas or mechanical/utility spaces without both temperature and humidity controls. Simple heating (i.e., for freeze protection) and/or ventilation is not sufficient for these electronic systems.

The following is an excerpt from one manufacturer's literature for their most current control system and clearly demonstrates this sensitivity. While the literature indicates compliance with

NFPA 72 requirements, it clearly recommends much narrower environmental limits for locating the control panel.

Temperature and Humidity Ranges

This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49°C/32–120°F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that–this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of

15-27°C/60–80°F.

The following laptop requirements shall apply for intelligent fire alarm systems when determined by the Government and negotiated on an individual task order the contractor shall provide: one laptop to be turned over to fire alarm shop with the latest version of operating system required for the programming software, the software required to program the FACP, and any associated program as required by the programming software. All original manufacturers’ software for each laptop when addressable fire alarm systems are installed shall be provided to the Eglin AFB alarm shop. The following requirements shall apply: all software, hardware, passwords, cables, adapters, etc required for the maintenance, testing, and reprogramming of the fire alarm system shall be unconditionally turned over to the Gov't, and the above noted software, hardware, passwords, etc will become the unconditional property of the government. Software turned over to Gov't shall be the original manufacturer's licensed software on cd (or DVD) with jeweled case;

copies of software shall not be acceptable. Software and cd, or DVD, shall be brand new and unused.

When determined by the Government and negotiated on an individual task order the contractor shall provide the manufacturer’s recommended/required level of training on all the installed equipment and software, regarding installation, operation, maintenance, testing, future expansion, and programming of the fire alarm system for two (2) personnel. This training shall meet or exceed NFPA 72 National F/A and Signaling Code 10.4.2.2 for System Installers,

10.4.3.1 (1) for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance Personnel as well as the manufacturer’s required level of training and shall guarantee the unconditional operation and future purchase of additional and/or replacement equipment. The training shall take place at one of the locations normally used by the manufacturer and/or distributor to conduct factory training for their in-house employees. The government employees shall be trained alongside technicians employed by the installed equipment manufacture and/or distributer. Upon successful completion of all curriculum requirements the government personnel shall be awarded a certification and provided full access to all available technical support resources, to include at a minimum, on-line and telephone support provided to manufacture and/or distributer personnel.
