7. Conventional Peripheral Devices
The smoke detector shall be of the dual chamber ionization type. One chamber shall be isolated from
the products of combustion and, shall monitor internal sensitivity, and the other chamber shall
measure the level of the combustion products. Both chambers shall be ionized by a single americium
241 radioactive source of not more than 1.0 microcurie. The detector head shall have a stainless
steel screen to prevent foreign objects from entering the dual chamber. Each detector shall have a
flashing status indicating LED for visual supervision. The detector shall be operable in a temperature
range of -18C to 38C (0F to 100F) with a maximum air flow of 320 meters (1,050 feet) per minute.
The thermal fire detector or heat detector shall be of dual thermal element using two distinct and
independent methods of heat detection. The detectors shall operate on the combination of "Rate-of-
Rise" and "Fixed Temperature" principles. The rate-of-rise method shall detect fires when the rate of
heat rises, exceeding 9C (15F) per minute. The fixed temperature method shall detect fires that
build temperature to a high level at a slow rate, by responding to a temperature setting at 57C
(135F) or 93C (200F) as specified on the drawings.
The manual pull station shall be single action, non-coded, pull lever type for pre-signal/general alarm
requirement. The station shall be constructed of metal and be of red colour. All glass rods shall be
affixed to the station, and upon actuation, the station shall remain open for easy identification. The
unit shall be suitable for semi-flush mounting on a standard metal box.
The audible alarm device shall consist of alarm bells of the vibrating type with 0.15 m (6 inches) hot-
pressed steel gongs. The shell-finish shall be satin chromium. The bells shall be complete with
stainless steel hexagonal plungers and shall be designed for series operation on a supervised circuit.
The sprinkler waterflow alarm switches shall be provided for wet sprinkler pipe systems and
connected to the fire alarm system such that the activation of the sprinkler system shall sound an
alarm at the center console.
Sprinkler supervisory devices shall be connected to the fire alarm system such that the movement of
a valve from the normal (open) position shall sound a supervisory trouble signal, at the center
console.
All doors for fire stairs shall have magnetic door switches, which shall be connected to the alarm
system. The remote annunciator for these switches shall be provided at the security room.
