72 4-4 “Visible Characteristics, Public Mode”. Combine visible alarm-indicating devices with<br />
audible alarm-indicating devices where possible.<br />
E. Combination Devices: Install wall-mounted devices such that the entire lens is not less than<br />
80 inches <strong>and</strong> not greater than 96 inches above the finished floor. Ceiling-mounted devices<br />
may be utilized.<br />
F. Device Location-Indicating Lights: Locate in public space near the device they monitor.<br />
G. FACP: Surface mount with top of cabinet not more than 72 inches above the finished floor.<br />
Install FACP in Storage #111 or as directed by the AHJ.<br />
H. Knox box: Provide knox box <strong>and</strong> install in location acceptable to AHJ. Knox box shall be supervised.<br />
3.02 WIRING INSTALLATION<br />
A. Install wiring according to the following:<br />
1. NECA 1.<br />
2. TIA/EIA 568-A.<br />
B. Wiring Method: Install all fire alarm wiring in metal raceway.<br />
1. Fire alarm circuits <strong>and</strong> equipment control wiring associated with the fire alarm system<br />
shall be installed in a dedicated raceway system. This system shall not be used for any<br />
other wire or cable.<br />
2. Paint all conduit junction box <strong>and</strong> pull-box covers used for the fire alarm system red.<br />
Paint or affix a red tape b<strong>and</strong> on all fire alarm conduit at intervals not to exceed every 25<br />
feet for ready service identification.<br />
C. Wiring Method:<br />
1. Cables <strong>and</strong> raceways used for fire alarm circuits, <strong>and</strong> equipment control wiring associated<br />
with the fire alarm system, may not contain any other wire or cable.<br />
2. Signaling Line Circuits: Power-limited fire alarm cables may be installed in the same cable<br />
or raceway as signaling line circuits.<br />
D. Wiring within Enclosures: Separate power-limited <strong>and</strong> non-power-limited conductors as recommended<br />
by manufacturer. Install conductors parallel with or at right angles to sides <strong>and</strong><br />
back of the enclosure. Bundle, lace, <strong>and</strong> train conductors to terminal points with no excess.<br />
Connect conductors that are terminated, spliced, or interrupted in any enclosure associated<br />
with the fire alarm system to terminal blocks. Mark each terminal according to the system's<br />
wiring diagrams. Make all connections with approved crimp-on terminal spade lugs, pressure-type<br />
terminal blocks, or plug connectors.<br />
E. Cable Taps: Use numbered terminal strips in junction, pull, <strong>and</strong> outlet boxes, cabinets, or<br />
equipment enclosures where circuit connections are made.<br />
F. Color-Coding: Color-code fire alarm conductors differently from the normal building power<br />
wiring. Use one color-code for alarm circuit wiring <strong>and</strong> a different color-code for supervisory<br />
circuits. Color-code audible alarm-indicating circuits differently from alarm-initiating circuits.<br />
Use different colors for visible alarm-indicating devices.<br />
G. Wiring to phone demarcation point for the two dedicated phone lines for the off-site monitoring<br />
shall be installed in conduit. Verify demarcation point with Owner.<br />
H. Splices: Splices shall not be permitted between devices <strong>and</strong>/or equipment. All terminations<br />
shall occur on the listed devices or at the control units using screw-type terminals.<br />
3.03 IDENTIFICATION<br />
A. Identify system components, wiring, cabling, <strong>and</strong> terminals according to Division 16 Section<br />
“Electrical Identification."<br />
Fire Alarm <strong>and</strong> Detection System 13 85 10-8<br />
