SECTION 28 31 00 FIRE DETECTION AND ALARM

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1. SUMMARY NETWORK FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL (NODE)

A. Network fire alarm control panels shall include all features as described in this specification for stand-alone FACPs and shall havenetwork communication capabilities as described herein.

1. All points monitored and controlled by a single node shall be capable of being programmed as "Public". Each point made public tothe network may be programmed to be operated by any other node connected to the network.

2. Network communications shall be capable of supporting "point lists" that can be handled as though they were a single point.

B. The network shall provide a means to log into any node on the system via a laptop computer or CRT/Keyboard and have completenetwork access (Set Host) for diagnostics, maintenance reporting, and information gathering of all nodes in the system. [The meansshall include the capability to log into any node on the system via TCP/IP Ethernet network communications protocol compatible withIEEE Standard 802.3. Ethernet access to any fire alarm panel shall be capable of providing access only to authenticated users througha cryptographically authenticated and secure SLL tunnel. Provisions for a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection to the owner's Ethernetnetwork must be provided at each node as part of the contract.] Systems not meeting this requirement must provide all diagnostic toolsrequired to support this function from selected points on the network. This Section covers fire alarm systems, including initiatingdevices, notification appliances, controls, and supervisory devices.

C. Work covered by this section includes the furnishing of labor, equipment, and materials for installation of the fire alarm system asindicated on the drawings and specifications.

D. The Fire Alarm System shall consist of all necessary hardware equipment and software programming to perform the followingfunctions:

1. Fire alarm system detection and notification operations.

2. Control and monitoring of elevators, smoke control equipment, door hold-open devices, fire suppression systems, emergency powersystems and other equipment as indicated in the drawings and specifications.

3. One-way supervised automatic voice alarm operations.

1.2. SCOPE OF WORK

A. Provide a new Voice Fire Alarm Control Panel and associated peripheral devices as indicated on the drawings.

1.3. ACCEPTABLE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

A. Manufacturers: The equipment and service described in this specification are those supplied and supported by SimplexGrinnell andrepresent the base bid for the equipment.

1. Subject to compliance with the requirements of this specification, provide alternate products by one of the following:

a) SimplexGrinnell

b) Notifier

B. Being listed as an acceptable Manufacturer in no way relieves obligation to provide all equipment and features in accordance withthese specifications.

C. Alternate products must be submitted to the Engineer two weeks prior to bid for approval. Alternate or as-equal products submittedunder this contract must provide a detailed line-by-line comparison of how the submitted product meets, exceeds, or does not complywith this specification.

D. The equipment and service provider shall be a nationally recognized company specializing in fire alarm and detection systems. Thisprovider shall employ factory trained and NICET Level III certified technicians, and shall maintain a service organization within 50 milesof this project location. The equipment and service provider shall have a minimum of 10 years experience in the fire protective signalingsystems industry.

This condition provides a means to alert maintenance staff of a sensorapproaching dirty without creating a trouble in the system. If this indicator is ignored and the second level is reached, a "DIRTYSENSOR" condition shall be indicated at the FACP and subsequently a system trouble is reported to the Supervising Station. Thesensor base LED shall glow steady giving a visible indication at the sensor location. The "DIRTY SENSOR" condition shall not affectthe sensitivity level required to alarm the sensor. If a "DIRTY SENSOR" is left unattended, and its average value increases to a thirdpredetermined value, an "EXCESSIVELY DIRTY SENSOR" trouble condition shall be indicated at the control unit.
