| | 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 WAS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS NOTE FOR SMOKE |
| | ALARMS UNLESS THIS RESIDENCE DOES CONTAIN A FIRE ALARM |
| | PANEL? |
| | 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 |

| | 100%. |
| | |
| | 8) NOTE:PLEASE SEE LOAD CALCULATIONS INDICATE THE NEW |

| | CLEARLY STATE THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE |
| | CIRCUIT IS USED. CIRCUITS USED FOR THE SAME PURPOSE |

| | 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 |
