Device Identification: Detectors shall store an internal identifying type code that the <br />control panel shall use to identify the type of device. Device identifications shall be <br />either ION, PHOTO, or THERMAL. <br />f. Photoelectric Smoke Detectors: Photoelectric smoke detectors shall use the <br />photoelectric (light-scattering) principal to measure smoke density and shall, on <br />command from the control panel, send data to the panel representing the analog level <br />of smoke density. <br />g. Ionization Smoke Detector: Ionization smoke detectors shall use the dual-chamber <br />ionization principal to measure products of combustion and shall, on command from <br />the control panel, send data to the panel representing the analog level of products of <br />combustion. <br />4. Thermal Detectors: Thermal Detectors shall be intelligent addressable devices rated at <br />135°F (58°C) and shall have a rate-of-rise element rated at 15° F. (9.4°C) per minute. It <br />shall connect via two wires to the Fire Alarm Control Panel Signaling Line Circuit. Up to 99 <br />intelligent heat detectors may connect to one SLC loop. Thermal detectors shall use an <br />electronic sensor to measure thermal conditions caused by a fire and shall, on command <br />from the control panel, send data to the panel representing the analog level of such <br />thermal measurements. <br />5. Duct Smoke Detector: In-Duct Smoke Detector Housings shall accommodate a velocity <br />rated photoelectric detector. The device, independent of the type used, shall provide <br />continuous analog monitoring and alarm verification from the panel. When sufficient <br />smoke is sensed, an alarm signal shall be initiated at the FACP. Proper installation and <br />physical location of each duct detector and access door shall be coordinated between the <br />electrical, the mechanical and the fire alarm sub-contractors and approved by the electrical <br />and mechanical engineers prior to equipment installation. <br />a. Each Duct detector shall have a hinged duct access panel, 12 x 12 inches minimum <br />for sampling tube inspection and cleaning. Indicate airflow direction on the duct <br />adjacent to detector using permanent decal. <br />b. Duct detector sampling tubes shall extend the full width of the duct. Sampling tubes <br />over 36 inches long must be provided with far end support for stability. Install <br />sampling tube per manufacturer's instructions. <br />c. All duct detectors shall be programmed for alarm. <br />6. Remote annunciator Indicator Lights (RAIL): RAILs shall be provided for initiating devices <br />where indicated on the plans. RAILs shall be provided with a key type switch for testing of <br />the annunciated device. All RAILs shall be 24 VDC. <br />7. Addressable Pull Stations - General: Addressable pull stations shall, on command from the <br />Control Panel, send data to the panel representing the state of the manual switch. They <br />shall use a key operated test-reset lock, and shall be designed so that after actual <br />emergency operation, they cannot be restored to normal use except by the use of a key. <br />All pull stations shall be dual-action, have a positive, visual indication of operation and <br />utilize a key type reset. The Glass-break rods are not allowed. <br />I. Notification Appliances: <br />1. Strobes: shall be located as shown on the Drawings and provided per the requirements of <br />the NCSBC chapter #11 and ICC A117.1-2009. Strobe lights indicated for use exterior to <br />the building shall be mounted at the indicated elevation and listed for use in wet locations. <br />Strobe lights shall operate with synchronized flash output and have the following <br />specifications: <br />a. Voltage: Strobe lights shall operate on 24 VDC nominal. <br />b. Maximum pulse duration: 2/10ths of one second. <br />c. Strobe intensity and flash rate: Must meet minimum requirements of UL 1971. Provide <br />strobe lights with minimum intensity Candela (Cd) rating of 15/75 Cd, or greater if <br />shown otherwise on drawings. <br />2. Audible/Visual Combination Devices shall comply with all applicable requirements for both <br />Programmable Electronic Sounders and Strobe Lights. <br />J.
