About this file
This is a technical specification document for a fire detection and alarm system with direct current loop configuration at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, effective April 2019.
The specification requires a complete, supervised fire alarm reporting system configured in accordance with NFPA 72, with equipment that is UL listed, FM approved, or approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. The fire alarm control panel (FACP) shall be Fire Control Instruments (FCI) model FCI-7100 or Fire Lite, or equal, installed in a flush, surface, or semi-flush mounted steel cabinet. The system must operate on 24 Volts DC, feature a looped conduit configuration to maintain functionality if severed at any point, and include alarm initiating device circuits (IDC) Style D and notification appliance circuits (NAC) Style Z. Storage batteries must be 24 VDC sealed lead-calcium type with capacity to operate the system for 72 hours in standby mode plus 15 minutes in full alarm mode. Key components include heat detectors (combination fixed-temperature and rate-of-rise rated 135°F), smoke detectors (ionization, photoelectric, projected beam, and duct-mounted types), combination smoke and heat detectors, flame detectors, manual fire alarm stations, alarm horns (minimum 110 dBA at 10 feet), visual notification appliances with strobe flash (75 candela minimum), remote annunciators, electromagnetic door hold-open devices, and radio alarm transmitters compatible with Monaco D21 supervising station equipment using Monaco BT-XM transceiver.
The specification mandates comprehensive submittals including detail drawings signed by a Registered Professional Engineer or NICET Level 4 technician, product data, test reports, equipment certificates, operating and maintenance instructions, and spare parts data submitted three months prior to beneficial occupancy. Installation personnel must include NICET Level 4 supervision, NICET Level 2 or higher for device installation, and factory-trained technicians. Training requirements include three days of system operation instruction, two days of maintenance training, and one day of expansion and modification training. Preliminary and acceptance testing must be performed in accordance with NFPA 72 standards, with test procedures submitted 30 days in advance and test reports submitted upon completion including NFPA 72 Certificates of Completion and Inspection and Testing Forms. All work shall comply with NFPA 70 and NFPA 72, and system wiring must be solid copper installed in metallic conduit with no mixing of voltage levels or use of wire nut connectors.
