Eglin Standard Design Cycling Flow Switch

(April 2016)

Potter Electric Signal Company/2081 Craig Road/St. Louis, Missouri 63146-4161/800-325-3936/314-878-4321/FAX: 314-878-7264

Vane type waterflow switches should be tested using the inspectors test valve to indicate water flow equivalent to that of a single sprinkler.

In some instances the waterflow switch will “cycle” on and off during this test. This is usually an indication of excessive air trapped in the sprinkler system.

This phenomenon has increased with the use of backflow preventors and inspector test valves in close proximity to the flowswitch instead of at hydraulically remote locations.

Without a valve at the far end of the sprinkler system being open when the system is being filled, the air in the piping cannot vent as the water enters. All of this air compresses and can result in sprinkler pipes being partially filled with water.

In addition to excessive amounts of oxygen leading to increased corrosion, it can also cause the waterfliow switch to cycle on and off, delayed operation of the flowswitch or false alarms. When the inspectors test valve is opened, the trapped compressed air expands pushing system water out of the test valve. When the system pressure drops enough, the backflow or check valve opens allowing fresh supply water to enter the system. The supply water flows past the waterflow switch, moves the paddle and starts the retard action. The incoming supply water also compresses the air in the system causing pressure to build up. When the system pressure equals the supply pressure the backflow will close and the flowswitch resets. Then the entire cycling process starts all over. While there may be a steady stream of water flowing out of the test valve, there is not a steady stream of water flowing past the flowswitch.

The delayed flowswitch operation occurs because the cycling keeps going until eventually it takes long enough for the backflow to close that the flowswitch finally goes into alarm or in the event of a real fire, another sprinkler opens and now it flows enough water that the backflow stays open.

False alarms can occur because when you open the ITV you bleed of any pressure that may have built up in the system. Now when the city turns on their pumps late at night to build up pressure for the morning water demand of the city, this water flows into the system and trips the flowswitch because the pipes are only partially full and the system pressure is lower than the supply pressure because the system pressure was vented through the ITV the day before.

Potter makes an automatic air vent, model PAAR-B or PAV, that can be used to automatically vent air from the system or remote valves can be installed for venting the system as it is being filled.

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.

Both antenna types require good line of sight clearance for proper transmission and the Omni’s grounding plane requires 3 feet of clearance over roofs and other objects.

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. Cable 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 (FACPs) 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 “Technician Interface Tool” (laptop) requirements shall apply for intelligent fire alarm systems. One laptop shall be turned over to the Electronic/Alarm (E/A) section with the latest approved operating system required for the programming the fire alarm software, the latest manufacturer’s software required to program the FACP, and any associated systems or devices, to include; Vesda smoke detection, electrical/electronic fire pump controllers, etc… It should also contain software associated with developing documents (i.e. Microsoft Excel in order to perform load calculations) as required by the programming software. All original manufacturers’ software for each Interface Tool when addressable fire alarm systems are installed shall be provided to the Eglin AFB’s E/A section. The following requirements shall apply: all software, hardware, passwords, cables, adapters, security keys (hasps and dongles) etc required for the maintenance, testing, and reprogramming of the fire alarm system, support systems, and devices shall be unconditionally turned over to the E/A section, 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.

The contractor shall provide the manufacturer technician’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 technician’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 manufacturer and/or distributer. Upon successful completion of all curriculum requirements the government personnel shall be awarded a certification, security keys, 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. The Electronic/Alarm section will also require 8 hours, minimum, of familiarization training at the facility on the new panel, all new equipment, and the software.

Provide as-built drawings and a final testing points list of the fire alarm system, as follows: floor plans shall show all fire alarm system components and their addresses. Fire alarm riser diagram shall show all fire alarm components. Two copies of the programming and of any drawings will be provided to the Eglin Electronic/Alarm Maintenance section on CD or DVD.

Fire Suppression - Eglin Design Manual

Appendix 2 – Eglin Specific Fire Suppression Requirements

A2.1 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

A2.1.1 General Considerations

(a) Coordinate space requirements, foundations, supports, pipe routing, electrical services, and the like for mechanical items with architectural, structural, and electrical design elements. Coordinate exterior mechanical distribution systems with design elements handling other exterior utility designs and site work.

(b) Standard or “packaged” equipment shall be used to the greatest extent possible to simplify specifying, purchasing, installation, and maintenance of equipment.

(c) UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities is the primary design manual. This criteria is supplemented by the technical provision hereinafter. In case of conflict, this document governs.

(d) If a fire pump building or room is included in the project that is to be “fully sprinklered”, this building or room also needs to be sprinklered.

A2.1.2 Fire Suppression System

(a) Criteria. The use of fire suppression systems shall be governed by the requirements of the UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities. Where systems are required, they shall be designed in accordance with the applicable NFPA standards unless it conflicts with the UFC. In which case, the UFC governs.

(b) Fire Protection. Fire protection that is cost effective, yet provides maximum degree of protection consistent with the type and degree of fire exposure, shall neither be diminished in an effort to reduce project costs, nor shall it be set aside for security or other considerations.

(c) Automatic Systems. Automatic fire suppression systems shall be employed where suitable and cost-effective. Suffocating extinguishers shall not be considered in conjunction with munitions or materials that contain their own oxygen supply.

(d) Low Maintenance. Automatic fire suppression systems, smoke evacuation systems, and other fire protection systems shall be designed so that their proper operation does not depend upon a high degree of sophisticated maintenance.

(e) Sprinkler Systems. Sprinkler systems shall be performance-specified by the designer in…
