INTERIOR FIRE ALARM AND MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

11/13

PART 1 GENERAL-LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM

This section establishes the requirements for an integrated fire detection, fire alarm system and mass notification system (FAS/MNS). Each FAS/MNS shall include only new components meeting the requirements of NFPA, FM, UL, and ADA standards, all applicable local, state and federal regulations, manufacturer’s recommendations, and specifications identified in this section.

Each FAS/MNS shall be a complete, supervised, non-coded, analog-addressable system, installed in a class A configuration per NFPA 72. The FAS/MNS shall provide point reporting to the FACP. The FACP shall in turn provide point reporting to the Monaco D-21 Central Receiving Station at the CAFB Fire Department. Point reporting, also known as point to point reporting, is the capability to relay the status of each addressable device and certain system components such as SLC’s to the D-21 in real time. The FAS/MNS shall be tested and perform as a critical life-safety system. The FAS/MNS shall be compatible with and shall communicate seamlessly with the D-21 without impairing operational function or reliability of any existing FAS or MNS.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

Equipment, devices and functions mentioned in this specification or on the drawings, as well as commonly used FAS equipment, are defined as follows:

a. Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ): The AHJ responsible for enforcing the requirements of applicable codes, standards, and for approving equipment, materials, installations, and procedures is the 628 Civil Engineer Squadron (628 CES).

b. Central Receiving Station: The central receiving station is an existing Factory Mutual approved Monaco Enterprises Inc. model D-21 Incident Management System transceiver located in the CAFB Fire Department, transmitting and receiving encoded radio signals in the 138 to 174 MHz VHF band at 138.925 MHz for JBC, communicating with the FAS/MNS

SECTION 28 31 76 (JBC) Page 3 transceiver at each CAFB building. Hereafter the central receiving station will be identified merely as “D-21.”

c. Analog/Addressable System: A system where multiple signals are transmitted via the same conduction path to a remote fire alarm control unit and fire alarm control panel, decoded and separated so that each signal will initiate the specified response.

d. Hard Wired System: A system where alarm and supervisory initiating devices are directly connected, through individual dedicated conductors, to a central control panel without the use of analog/addressable circuits or devices.

e. Interface Unit (Monitor Module): An addressable device which is connected to a non-addressable device for the purpose of relaying the status/condition of the non-addressable device to the analog/addressable

FACP.

f. Class A addressable system with point reporting: A Class A system as defined in NFPA 72 with each FAS device reporting individually to the FACP and the FACP continuously relaying that information to the D-21.

This system is also referred to as “device point reporting” or “point-to-point”. In device point reporting systems the status of each device is reported back to the D-21 through the FACP. This is in contrast to a zone reporting system wherein devices are lumped into zones. In a Class A system, devices are connected by circuits configured such that an open circuit on one or both of the incoming or outgoing conductors at the same location does not prevent reporting of all devices on the circuit.

g. Class B non-addressable system: Class B non-addressable circuits are 2 wire circuits which terminate in an end-of-line device as defined in NFPA 72. In Class B circuits, a single open (or break) in either conductor will disable all devices located between the open/break and the end of line device.

h. Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs): The FACP provides Class A NAC circuits to supply power to each notification appliance. Each NAC is monitored and controlled by the FACP for fire events and by the MNS panel for MNS events.

i. Signal Line Circuit (SLC): A SLC is one of up to 8 circuits reporting to the FACP, configured for Class A operation, with each circuit having the capacity to support up to 99 addressable sensors (smoke or heat) and up to 99 addressable modules (control, monitor, NAC, and interface). Alarm, supervisory or trouble conditions are transmitted by the FACP radio transmitter to the D-21 reporting the status of each individual device. Equipment and/or device faults, including command faults, missing device, early warning, maintenance alert, communications loss, IDC, NAC, SLC, power and battery faults are also transmitted by the FACP to the D-21 instantaneously.

j. Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Extenders: In the event the quantity of notification appliances exceeds the capacity of the FAS/MNS, NAC extenders must be provided to power those extra appliances. NAC extenders are controlled from the FACP/NAC circuits by means of a synchronization module. Each NAC extender has the capacity to provide power for up to 4 Class A NACs. Each NAC extender has its own 120 Volt AC

SECTION 28 31 76 (JBC) Page 4 primary power, backed up with batteries and a battery charger. NAC extenders are enclosed in a steel panel, red in color, keyed the same as the FACP. Each NAC extender is monitored by the FACP for trouble conditions. All NACs, IDCs, and SLCs remain functional if the conductors between them are severed at any common point.

k. Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs): The FACP provides two Class A or four Class B initiating device circuits. Each IDC system has an interconnected riser loop or network with Class A supervision for connection to FACP/MNS panels.

l. Remote Fire Alarm and Mass Notification Control Unit: A control panel, electronically remote from the fire alarm and mass notification control panel, that receives inputs from automatic and manual fire alarm devices;

may supply power to detection devices and interface devices; may provide transfer of power to the notification appliances; may provide transfer of condition to relays or devices connected to the control unit; and reports to and receives signals from the fire alarm control panel.

m. Fire Alarm and Mass Notification Control Panel (FACP/FMCP): A master control panel having the features of a fire alarm and mass notification control unit and fire alarm and mass notification control units are interconnected. The panel has central processing, memory, input and output terminals.

n. Riser Diagram: A riser diagram is a drawing showing the circuit connections to each of the FAS/MNS devices installed through-out each floor of the building, each sheet not less than 30” X 42,” including terminal cabinets, and junction boxes. A color code schedule shall be included for the wiring and a device legend listing the drawing symbols used for each device (per NFPA 170, Fire Safety Symbols). A table shall be included, listing the voltage, model number, catalog number, and manufacturer's name for each FAS/MNS component.
