Fire Detection System
We’re experienced with all major types of fire alarm systems, including hardwired, RF systems, microprocessor-base; high-speed detection – UV, IR, IFD, LHS, and network proprietary systems; – addressable, conventional, hardwired, coded & 100MA loop.
When we implement a detection system based on NFPA 72, we follow a systematic approach to ensure compliance with the standard and effective implementation. Here is a step-by-step process we follow:
- Assess Project Requirements: Understand the specific requirements of the project, such as the size and layout of the facility, the nature of the business, and any unique hazards. This information will help determine the scope and complexity of the detection system.
- Engage a Fire Protection Professional: It is highly recommended to consult with a qualified fire protection professional or engineer. As NFPA certified professionals, we can provide expertise and guidance throughout the implementation process, ensuring compliance with NFPA 72 and addressing any technical challenges.
- Design and Planning: We work to develop a comprehensive design and plan for the detection system. This includes identifying zones, selecting appropriate detection devices, determining control panel placement, and designing notification appliance coverage.
- Procurement: We identify and procure detection devices, control panels, and notification appliances that meet the requirements of NFPA 72. We ensure that the products are listed and approved by recognized testing laboratories.
- Installation: We follow the installation guidelines provided by the manufacturers and NFPA 72 and ensure that all devices are installed correctly, including proper wiring, mounting, and spacing. Adhere to any specific requirements for device types, sensitivity, and placement.
- System Configuration and Programming: We configure and program the control panel according to the design plan and the requirements of NFPA 72. This includes setting up zones, assigning devices, defining alarm thresholds, and programming communication interfaces.
- Testing and Commissioning: We perform comprehensive testing of the detection system to verify its proper operation. This includes functional testing of individual devices, integrated system testing, and verification of communication interfaces. Document the testing results for future reference.
- Training: We provide training to relevant personnel who will operate and maintain the detection system and ensure they understand the system's functions, alarm signals, troubleshooting procedures, and emergency response protocols.
- Documentation and Record-Keeping: We maintain detailed documentation of the design, installation, testing, and maintenance activities associated with the detection system and keep records of equipment lists, test results, inspection reports, and any modifications made to the system.
- Ongoing Maintenance: We develop a comprehensive maintenance plan that includes regular inspections, testing, and servicing of the detection system and follow the maintenance guidelines specified by the manufacturers and NFPA 72. Keep records of all maintenance activities performed.
- Compliance Verification: We periodically review and assess the detection system's compliance with NFPA 72 requirements and stay updated with any revisions or amendments to the standard and implement necessary upgrades or modifications to ensure continued compliance.
Remember, implementing a detection system based on NFPA 72 requires technical expertise and compliance with local regulations. It is crucial to involve qualified professionals like us and ensure ongoing maintenance and periodic system reviews to keep the system reliable and in compliance with the standard.
