Generic Specification for BCH Proposed Fire Alarm System for Construction: SECTION 16000Option A – Sounder Base Releases Audible Signal within Suite of OriginOption B – Future Provision for the Capability to Remotely Disengage Sounder Base inDesignated SuitesReference: CFT Engineering Report C5843_R01Rev01, Dated May 28, 2008 and Revised July 16, 2008,Henceforth Referred to as CFT Reportover scale measurements of the drawings.b) The electrical contractor is to be responsible for correcting all work completed contrary tothe intent of the drawings and is to bear all costs of same. Where the intent of thedrawings is not clear, obtain clarification from the engineer before proceeding with thework.c) It is the intent of these drawings to provide for an electrical and fire alarm installationcomplete and in operating condition and the electrical contractor is to be responsible forthe supply and installation of all materials necessary to accomplish this.d) Compliance with Option AWithin each suite, the smoke/heat (rate of rise) combination detector device complete withsounder base is to be installed in accordance with the CFT Report, and appropriateCodes and Standards. Sounder base is to activate when the smoke detector portion ofthe smoke/heat (rate of rise) combination detector device (a non-latching device) isdetected within the suite. Also, the system must have the capability of programmingindividual suites to be separately “zoned”. A separate smoke/heat (rate of rise)combination detector device alarm annunciator panel shall be mounted to indicate suitesmoke detection on a per suite basis. Location of annunciator panel to be determined byBC Housing. Upon activation of the heat detector component of the in-suite combinationdetector (a latching device), the central alarm will sound.Compliance with Option BDisengaging of sounder base only permitted with approval in writing from the local FirePrevention Officer of the Fire Department.For the units where the sounder bases have been disengaged, these units must each stillannunciate as a separate zone on the primary annunciator panel and sound an audibletrouble alarm. In addition, for units which have an activated sounder base, the fire alarmpanel must have the capability of silencing (i.e. sounder base) on a programmed timingbasis.e) The electrical contractor is to be responsible for any damage caused by the improperlocation or carrying out of his work.f) The electrical contractor, in setting out of the work, is to make reference to the electrical,mechanical, structural, and architectural drawings and site conditions. Consult with therespective trades in setting out locations for conduit runs, fire alarm panel assemblies,etc., so that conflicts are avoided and symmetrical even spacing is maintained.g) Conduits are to be laid out to avid interference with other trades and are to maintainmaximum headroom with the minimum number of crossovers.h) Fire alarm break glasses are to be installed at not less than 1,200 mm or more than 1,400mm above the finished floor and are to be coordinated with the architectural details andare to be adjusted as necessary to coordinate with paneling, masonry course line, etc.Page 4 of 7

The verification of this system is tosatisfy the minimum standards as dictated by CAN/ULC-S524-01 and the CanadianElectrical Code. The verification is to be recorded and undertaken by an approved firealarm testing organization. All installation and testing procedures are to meet with andsatisfy the engineer and the Authorities Having Jurisdiction.d) The audible evacuation devices for this system are to be electrically operated fire alarmgongs of the minimum industry standard size of 10 in. These devices are to be of themotorized type (not vibrating) for parallel direct current operation of the under dome type.Mounting of these devices is to be surfaced and they are to be mounted in an area wherethere will be no physical obstruction for a minimum radius of at least 1,000 mm or 39 in.e) Provide detailed manufacture shop drawings of all components to be used.f) All wiring for this system is to be Class “A” type and E.O.L. devices are to be identifiedand mounted in the fire alarm control panel. (CACF).8.0 USE OF EXISTING BUILDING MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENTa) Unless noted otherwise, base building wiring material may be reused if acceptable to theengineer and the inspection authorities.b) Unless noted otherwise, provide additional equipment of the same type and manufacturewhere required to supplement existing equipment.9.0 INTERRUPTION AND SERVICESPage 5 of 7
