| | |
| | **PLEASE KNOW THAT SINCE THE LAST REVIEW OF THIS |
| | PROJECT, A MEETING WAS HELD AT THE SOUTHERN SECTION |
| | MEETING IN OCT 06 WHERE WE WERE DIRECTLY INFORMED BY |
| | NFPA THAT THE USE OF "SD" FOR SMOKE DETECTORS ON PLANS |
| | FOR RESIDENTIAL HOMES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN THESE |
| | DEVICES ANY ACTUALLY FALL UNDER THE DEFINITIONS OF |
| | SMOKE ALARMS WHICH WOULD BE SHOWN AS "SA"/SMOKE |
| | ALARMS". |
| | THIS INFORMATION WAS NEW TO THIS AHJ AS THE GENERAL USE |
| | OF THE SD FOR SMOKE DETECTORS WAS ALWAYS ACCEPTED. BY |
| | THE DEFINITIONS AS STATED IN NFPA-72 A SD/ SMOKE |
| | DETECTOR IS ONLY A DEVICE WHICH WILL DETECT AND WILL |
| | NOT SOUND AN AUDIBLE ALARM. THIS WOULD BE DONE BY |
| | HORN/SIREN TYPE DEVICES. PLEASE SEE THE DEFINITIONS OF |
| | SA/SMOKE ALARMS; THESE ARE DEVICES WHICH ARE 120V (AS |
| | SHOWN) AND WOULD DETECT AND SOUND AN ALARM. THIS IS |
| | SOMETHING THAT IS NOW BEING COMMENTED ON OTHER REVIEWS |
| | FOR OTHER NEW HOMES; HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT A COMMENT |
| | FROM THIS AHJ OR REVIEWER BEFORE AS THIS INFORMATION |
| | WAS MADE AWARE TO ALL OF THE JURISDICTIONS PRESENT, |
| | MOST OF WHICH HAD ALSO ALWAYS ACCEPTED SD AND THE |
| | STATED SMOKE DETECTORS. |
| | |
| | |
| | THESE ITEMS ALONG WITH ANY OTHER REVISIONS ARE TO BE |
| | CORRECTED, SUBMITTED, REVIEWED AND STAMPED FOR JOBSITE |
| | BEFORE ANY ROUGH ELECTRICAL INPSECTION IS CALLED IN. |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE NAY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN |
| | CONTACTING THIS OFFICE. |
