Fire alarm One Line Diagram
Below are questions that Aaron Crowley of Integrated Electronic Systems has raised.regarding the intent
of information included in the fire alarm riser diagram and formal responses to these questions. Note that
information on final system wiring and raceway provisions will be required to be included in the fire
alarm shop drawings as described in specification section 283121.
Question 1) The riser diagram shows a new fire alarm riser from the top of the fire alarm panel, up to the
attic and across, and back down the opposite stairwell, is there a reason for this
Response: This is not the intent. West side devices for the Basement through the second floor would be
fed from the first floor ceiling. Only west stairwell at the third floor would be fed through the attic. The
existing fire alarm riser goes up thru all floors on the east side of the corridors (not the stairwell), and then
each floor is fed from a j-box from the east side of the corridor to the west side stairwell, why are we not
just leaving that in place One of the project goals is to eliminate as much of the surface conduit as we
can. This includes the conduit riser that runs up the east side of the corridor wall. Installing a new
Wiremold 2000 raceway in the corner of the stairwell behind the door that is normally held open should
clean up the installation.
Question 2) The drawings do not appear to address the existing fire alarm riser piping that is located in
the corridors, east side
Facilities Services,1276 University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403 – 1276 T (541) 346 – 2280 F (541) 346 – 6769

Response: A new Wiremold 2000 raceway is being run up the east stairwell for stairwell fire alarm
devices. This raceway would be fed through the first floor ceiling. The existing corridor ceiling devices
and associated ceiling mounted raceway in the basement, first floor mezzanine, second floor and second
floor mezzanine would be refed from the new riser at the west corridor.
Question 3) If a fire alarm riser for both stairwells is wanted why would we not just use the 1 st floor to
cross over during the construction of that floor
Response: That is the intent. We stopped short of doing this at the third floor because, with the attic, we
have another opportunity to eliminate surface raceway in the corridor.
Question 4) It would appear that we may not be able to fish or conceal all the devices in the stairwells do
to wall structure. It almost feels like the door holders in the east stairwells are located on a duct or air
plenum Please advise!
Response: It is our hope that the horn / strobes and the door holders in the stairwells could be fished from
the ceiling, given that ceilings are being replaced. The Wiremold 2000 raceway is an acknowledgement
that we would not be able to fish floor to floor. If there is a chase available that could eliminate the need
for one or both of the Wiremold 2000 risers use of this chase would be preferred.
