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 Joint Base Charleston Air Base Wing 628 Civil Engineer Squadron (628 CES/CEF), Fire Services Department.

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 at the JBC-ABW Fire Department, transmitting and receiving encoded radio signals at 138.9250 MHz, for communicating with the FAS transceiver Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) at each building on JBC-ABW and, an identical D-21, located at the JBC-NWS Fire Department, transmitting and receiving signals at 143.5250 MHz for communicating with the FAS transceiver FACP at each building on JBC-NWS.

Hereafter the central receiving station at JBC-ABW and at JBC-NWS will each 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 FACP, decoded and separated so that each signal will initiate the specified response.

Repair/Add IMC Fire Suppression System DKFX 11-1005 A/B

Section 28 31 76 JB CHS page 4

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 the status of that device 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 s e v e r a l devices are lumped into a zone. 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 each device 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 any/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 o f s e v e r a l notification appliances.

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/location 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, 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 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 IDCs. 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

Repair/Add IMC Fire Suppression System DKFX 11-1005 A/B

Section 28 31 76 JB CHS page 5 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 FACP.

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 where fire alarm and mass notification control units are interconnected. The FACP/FMCP 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 devices installed throughout 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 component.

PART 2.0 PRODUCTS

2.1 MONITOR MODULE The monitor module, or addressable interface unit, is powered and supervised by the FACP. It mounts in a standard electrical box, has the capacity to report the status of a non-addressable device to the FACP, and it contains an LED to indicate polling and alarm conditions. A monitor module provides either Class “A” or Class “B” supervised indicating device circuits (IDCs) to the FACP. Monitor modules have dry contacts and supervised output. A monitor module is not to be used to report to the D-21.

2.1.1 Mini-Monitor Module Manual pull stations are not addressable.

A mini-monitor module provides a means for the manual pull station to become addressable, so it can report to the FACP. An LED is not required for mini-monitor modules.

2.2 SMOKE DETECTOR Smoke detectors are installed 30 foot apart on smooth ceilings, have addressable sensors, are powered by the FACP, have an LED to indicate a fire event, and include a sensor head with separate twist lock base containing two (2) LED indicators that flash when being polled by the D-21. Each photoelectric type smoke detector operates on the light scattering principle. No other type of smoke detector is allowed at JB CHS. The sensor base has screw type terminals and an internal alarm signaling device. Each sensor address has a rotary or a manual “dual-in-line package” switch or “dip” type switch that requires no tools to operate, and clearly displays the address set for the unit without binary interpretation. Plug-in components or jumper arrangements are not acceptable. This specification requires one smoke detector to be installed on the ceiling above the FACP.

2.2.1 Duct Smoke Detector Duct smoke detectors have air sampling tubes running the full width of the duct, are addressable, powered by the FACP, are photoelectric, and installed inside an HVAC duct 2 feet width or larger having an air velocity between 100 and 4000 feet per minute. If a fire event occurs, the activated sensor reports to the FACP and the FACP shuts down the air handling unit (AHU). In those situations where the detector alarm or supervisory indicator cannot be easily seen, a remote alarm indicator and reset control, visible from the floor, will be provided. After resolution of the fire event, the duct smoke detector requires manual re-set.

Screw type terminals are provided in the sensor base for wiring.

2.5 FIRE DOOR DEVICE Fire door devices are addressable and

are designed to hold fire doors open. Door holding devices have no moving parts, operate on 120 VAC and 3 watts of power, develop 35 pounds magnetic holding force and are listed and tested per UL 228. Either a fire event or a building power failure cuts power to the magnet, allowing the doors to close. Upon resolution of the fire event or power failure, each fire door must be manually re-opened.

2.6 SIGNAL LINE CIRCUIT (SLC) A SLC is configured Class “A,” one of up to 8 circuits reporting to the FACP, with each circuit having the capacity to support up to 99 addressable smoke or heat detectors and up to 99 control, monitor, NAC, and interface addressable modules. SLC alarm, supervisory, trouble conditions, device faults, command faults, missing device, early warning, maintenance alert, communication loss, IDC, NAC, SLC, power and battery fault are reported by the FACP to the D-21.

2.7 INITIATING DEVICE CIRCUIT (IDC) The FACP provides two Class “A” or four Class “B” IDCs. Each IDC system has an interconnected riser loop or network with Class “A” supervision. Each IDC or SLC is powered and supervised so a signal from one IDC, SLC, addressable device or point does not prevent the FACP from receiving a signal from an addressable IDC or SLC.

2.8 REMOTE TRANSCEIVER A transceiver, remote from the FACP or MNS enclosure, receives inputs from addressable devices, provides power to detection devices, interface units or NACs, then forwards and receives the condition and status of addressable devices that are connected to the FACP. Each transceiver is fully supervised by the FACP. Audio NAC wiring, strobes, auxiliary expansion modules, power output circuit wiring, amplifier input voltage, low battery or remote microphone station is supervised for open and short conditions. A trouble signal is sent for any supervision loss, and annunciated locally with built-in audible alert and LED indicators. FACP and MNS transceivers transmit to the D-21.
