General Requirements: Each transmitter antenna must be mounted on the gable end of the building (closest to the Fire Department or mass notification central station location) when there is a pitched roof to prevent damage from ice buildup. Each antenna shall be mounted a minimum of 6 inches above the roof line and must be mounted securely (nut and bolt) to withstand the wind load.

Mounting the bracket using screws through the buildings metal skin is not acceptable. The Contractor is responsible for cutting each antenna to its proper length in order to match the frequency and transmit correctly. The Contractor is responsible for installing each antenna cable connectors correctly. Each antenna cable must have a lightning arrester installed inline, in a weatherproof box. Each assembly must be properly grounded per manufacturer specifications.

-Strobes shall be provided to alert persons with hearing disabilities and shall be installed per NFPA 72 and located as required to meet ADA. Appliances shall be mounted such that the entire lens is not less than 80 inches above the highest floor level or 6 inches below the ceiling, whichever is lower.

In order for the Individual BMNS to be fully and completely integrated into the JBER-wide central control system, it must be added and programmed into the Federal Commander Digital System by a Federal Signal Corporation authorized representative. The installation of a new combination fire alarm/mass notification system or stand-alone mass notification system will not be deemed complete until the resident central control for the JBER-wide system has had the building added to the JBER-wide mass notification system as a new site. Mass notification system testing will include testing of the interface and control of the building mass notification system by the JBER central mass notification system. Contractor must

-Amplifier circuits shall be loaded to no more than 70 percent of rated continuous capacity when producing sound levels as required by NFPA 72 against normal ambient background noise levels for this occupancy for simultaneous operation of all speakers for all areas in the voice zone. Annotate data for each circuit on the drawing.

-Local Operator Console (LOC) is required to have an adjustable microphone gain.

-Contractor shall provide operating instructions located inside the LOC cabinet and at the ACU describing the procedures for initiating either live voice messages or pre-recorded messages. These instructions shall be permanently attached to the cabinet.

-LOC microphones shall be located and adjusted so that the microphones can be used to provide a message meeting the intelligibility requirements of UFC 4-021- 01.
