Detail Drawings
The Contractor shall submit detail drawings consisting of a complete list
of equipment and material, including manufacturer's descriptive and
technical literature, catalog cuts, and installation instructions. Note
that the contract drawings show layouts based on typical detectors. The
Contractor shall check the layout based on the actual detectors to be
installed and make any necessary revisions in the detail drawings. The
detail drawings shall also contain complete wiring and schematic diagrams
for the equipment furnished, equipment layout, and any other details
required to demonstrate that the system has been coordinated and will
properly function as a unit. Detailed point-to-point wiring diagram shall
be prepared and signed by a Registered Professional Engineer or a NICET
Level [3] [4] Fire Alarm Technician showing points of connection. Diagram
shall include connections between system devices, appliances, control

SYSTEM DESIGN
1.4.1
Operation
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If a small fire alarm system is required, the
specification writer should consider utilizing
UFGS-13850A FIRE DETECTION AND ALARM SYSTEM, DIRECT
CURRENT LOOP.
If an addition to an existing system is required,
provide the make, model number, and other pertinent
information on existing components that are to
operate with the new equipment. Since new
interfaces will have to be compatible with the
existing system or to the central fire alarm
reporting system, it may be necessary to edit major
items out of this specification. If a new fire
alarm panel is required, it has to be compatible
with the existing central fire alarm reporting
system.
**************************************************************************
The fire alarm and detection system shall be a complete, supervised fire
alarm reporting system. The system shall be activated into the alarm mode
by actuation of any alarm initiating device. The system shall remain in
the alarm mode until the initiating device is reset and the fire alarm
control panel is reset and restored to normal. Alarm initiating devices
shall be connected [to initiating device circuits (IDC)], [Style B] [or]
