As shown under Fire Alarm General
> Notes on the Fire Alarm Riser sheet contained in
> the specification:
D. ALL FIRE ALARM CONDUCTORS
> SHALL BE INSTALLED IN CONDUIT SIZED PER NEC. NO
> SMALLER THAN 3/4 " CONDUIT WILL BE
> PERMITTED.
We propose that open cable be
> allowed where concealed in attic, ceiling or wall
> cavities. There is no strict requirement for
> conduit in this occupancy. This is also consistent
> with current conditions where open cable is
> currently used.
This would greatly decrease the
> cost of installation.
Question 2:
As shown
> under Fire Alarm System Keynotes on the Fire Alarm
> Riser sheet contained in the specification:
2.
> FOR CITY TIE-IN. PROVIDE TWO (2) DEDICATED PHONE
> LINES TO MAIN TELEPHONE TERMINAL BOARD. PROVIDE
> REMOTE DIGITAL COMMUNICATOR.
The riser diagram
> indicates connection for remote monitoring using
> two analog phone lines. While this is consistent
> with the current installation, it is highly
> recommended to utilize an approved cellular
> communicator in lieu of telephone service.
>
This would decrease the recurring costs to the
> owner by eliminating the requirement to maintain
> two lines of standard telephone service.
