| | PLEASE SEE THE SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS FROM METER |
| | TO PANEL *B* ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH. |
| | PLEASE REMOVE ANY EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS BEFORE |

| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE SUBMIT A PANEL SCHEDULE WHICH REFLECTS |
| | ROOM AND AREAS IN WHICH THEY FEED. |
| | PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING TEXT WHICH WILL HELP EXPLAIN. |
| | THIS REQUIRES THAT THE IDENTIFICATION FOR EVERY |
| | CIRCUIT SUPPLIED BY A PANEL-BOARD OR SWITCHBOARD BE |
| | LEGIBLE AND CLEARLY STATE THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE FOR |
| | WHICH THE CIRCUIT IS USED. CIRCUITS USED FOR THE SAME |
| | PURPOSE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AS TO THEIR LOCATION. FOR |
| | EXAMPLE, SMALL APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUITS CAN SUPPLY |
| | OUTLETS IN THE KITCHEN, DINING ROOM, AND KITCHEN |
| | COUNTERTOPS. IDENTIFYING THE CIRCUITS AS SMALL |
| | APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUITS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE; INSTEAD, |
| | THEY SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED AS ``KITCHEN WALL |
| | RECEPTACLES,'' ``DINING ROOM FLOOR RECEPTACLE,'' OR |
| | ``KITCHEN COUNTERTOP RECEPTACLES LEFT OF SINK.'' |
| | CIRCUIT DIRECTORIES CONTAINING MULTIPLE ENTRIES WITH |
| | ONLY ``LIGHTS'' OR ``OUTLETS'' DO NOT PROVIDE THE |
| | SUFFICIENT DETAIL REQUIRED BY THIS SECTION. |
| | |
| | 3) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW THAT 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. |
| | ** PLEASE SEE THAT SMOKE ALARMS ARE STATED IN THE FBC |
| | RESIDENTIAL CODE/ FBC AND IN NFPA-72. |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS COMMENT PLEASE DO |
| | NOT HESITATE IN CONTACTING THIS OFFICE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 4) NOTE: PLEASE SEE THAT THERE ARE ELECTRICAL |
| | APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT ON PLANS WHICH ARE NOT ON |
| | PANEL SCHEDULES OR IN LOAD CALCULATIONS. |
| | 240.4,310.16,220,408.4 ETC. |
| | |
| | * ** IMPORTANT** |
| | ONCE ALL REVIEWS ARE DONE AND PLANS ARE |
| | PICKED UP FOR CORRECTIONS, PLEASE BE |
| | SURE TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL OLD/VOIDED |
| | SHEETS AND ONLY INSERT NEW REVISED |
| | SHEETS INTO TWO COMPLETE SETS FOR REVIEW |
| | AND STAMPING. DO NOT LEAVE ANY |
| | OLD/VOIDED SHEETS IN SETS. |
| | PLEASE KNOW ONLY ONE SET OF THE |
| | OLD/VOIDED SHEETS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED |
| | FOR REFERENCE. |
| | THIS WILL HELP IN THE REVIEW PROCESS AND |
| | AVOID ANY DELAYS. |
| | |
| | ** PLEASE BE SURE TO CALL IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR |
| | COMMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE TYPED COMMENTS ABOVE. IF |
| | THERE ARE ANY COMMENTS WHICH ARE NOT CLEAR IN ANY WAY, |
| | NOT UNDERSTOOD OR NOT TYPED IN A CLEAR MANOR, PLEASE DO |
