wiring diagrams, dimensions, and information for ordering replacement parts. a. Wiring diagrams shall have their terminals identified to facilitate installation, operation, expansion and maintenance. b. Wiring diagrams shall indicate internal wiring for each item of equipment and the interconnections between the items of equipment. c. Include complete listing of all software used and installation and operation instructions including the input/output matrix chart. d. Provide a clear and concise description of operation that gives, in detail, the information required to properly operate, inspect, test and maintain the equipment and system. Provide all manufacturers’ installation limitations including but not limited to circuit length limitations. e. Complete listing of all digitized voice messages. f. Provide standby battery calculations under normal operating and alarm modes. Battery calculations shall include the magnets for holding the doors open for one minute. g. Include information indicating who will provide emergency service and perform post contract maintenance. h. Provide a replacement parts list with current prices. Include a list of recommended spare parts, tools, and instruments for testing and maintenance purposes. i. A computerized preventive maintenance schedule for all equipment. The schedule be provided on disk in a computer format acceptable to the VA facility and shall describe the protocol for preventive maintenance of all equipment. The schedule shall include the required times for systematic examination, adjustment and cleaning of all equipment. A print out of the schedule shall also be provided in the manual. Provide the disk in a pocket within the manual. j. Furnish manuals in 3 ring loose-leaf binder or manufacturer's standard binder. k. A print out for all devices proposed on each signaling line circuit with spare capacity indicated. 2. Two weeks prior to final inspection, deliver four copies of the final updated maintenance and operating manual to the RESIDENT ENGINEER/COTR.
2. Each power source shall be supervised from the other source for loss of power. 3. All circuits shall be monitored for integrity. 4. Visually and audibly annunciate any trouble condition including, but not limited to main power failure, grounds and system wiring derangement. 5. Transmit digital alarm information to the main fire alarm control unit. B. Enclosure: 1. The control unit be housed in a cabinet suitable for both recessed and surface mounting. Cabinet and front shall be corrosion protected, given a rustresistant prime coat, and manufacturer's standard finish. 2. Cabinet shall contain all necessary relays, terminals, lamps, and legend plates to provide control for the system. C. Power Supply: 1. The control unit shall derive its normal power from a 120 volt, 60 Hz dedicated supply connected to the emergency power system. Standby power shall be provided by a 24 volt DC battery as hereinafter specified. The normal power shall be transformed, rectified, coordinated, and interfaced with the standby battery and charger. 2. The door holder power shall be arranged so that momentary or sustained loss of main operating power shall not cause the release of any door. 3. Power supply for smoke detectors shall be taken from the fire alarm control unit. 4. Provide protectors to protect the fire alarm equipment from damage due to lightning or voltage and current transients. 5. Provide new separate and direct ground lines to the outside to protect the equipment from unwanted grounds. D. Circuit Supervision: Each alarm initiating device circuit, signaling line circuit, and notification appliance circuit, shall be supervised against the occurrence of a break or ground fault condition in the field wiring. These conditions shall cause a trouble signal to sound in the control unit until manually silenced by an off switch. E. Trouble signals: 1. Arrange the trouble signals for automatic reset (nonlatching).
