Installation of Smoke Detector Testing Stations - Gulfquest Maritime Museum

The existing alarm system includes SIGA-DH duct detectors/SIGA-DMP mounting plates, as manufactured by Edwards Systems Technology, mounted in the supply/return ducts of the existing air handing units. Currently, there are Thirty-Two (32) existing duct detectors with no means to access/test. Contractor shall provide and install Thirty-Two (32) new SIGA-DTS Duct Detector Test Stations for each of the Thirteen (13) air handling units (AHU’s) as specified below and referenced on Drawings. Test stations shall be installed in a compatible electrical box at an easily accessible location for the fire alarm inspector to perform testing (eye level or arms reach). Coordinate all locations with Project Manager prior to installation. Contractor shall also be responsible for connecting new test station to existing duct detectors. Wiring shall be per duct detector/test station manufacturer standard but shall generally be #18AWG, #16AWG, or #12AWG. #14AWG will not be acceptable. Wiring shall be housed in flexible steel conduit: reduced wall, inside diameter 0.625” – outside diameter 0.92”, conduit trace size ½” with a bend radius of 3”, or equal. Conduit material should be high quality hot dipped zinc galvanized low carbon steel, or equivalent and must meet Federal Specification Standards: AA-5810 Type IV UL1479 Through Penetration Fire Test R14141 CSA69271, UL1-E 79977 NEX (ANSI/NFPA-70) Article 348. See Exhibit A – Signature Loop Controller Installation Sheet for Wiring Specifications. The locations of the duct detectors requiring test stations are as follows: Basement Level – 23 Units: • AHU #1 - A thru O (located above basement workroom, alarm modules mounted in ceiling tiles) – 15 Units • AHU #2 - F (located above basement workroom, alarm modules mounted in ceiling tiles) – 1 Unit • AHU #2 - A, B &C (located above the sprinkler fire pump controller on basement west wall) – 3 Units • AHU #2 - D & E (located at actual AHU #2 unit) – 2 Units • AHU #3 - Return (East rear corner of basement mechanical room) – 1 Unit • AHU #4 - Return (SW corner basement outside mechanical/fire pump room) – 1 Unit 2nd Level North Level 2 Units: • AHU #5 - Return (NW corner mechanical room) – 1 Unit • AHU #6 - Return (NE corner mechanical room) – 1 Unit 3rd Level Northeast - Mechanical Room - 1 Unit: • AHU #7 - Return – 1 Unit 3rd Level North - Mechanical Room – 6 Units • AHU #8 thru AHU #13 Return – 1 Unit per AHU – 6 Units total
