| | ARE SUBMITTED AFTER DECEMBER 8TH, 2006 PLACES PROJECTS |
| | UNDER THE NEW CODES ADOPTED BY THE STATE. |

| | SHOULD BE CHANGED TO THE 2005 NEC. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW THAT THE PLANS NEED TO CORRELATE |
| | WITH ALL CIRCUIT DESIGNATIONS ON PLANS FOR ROOMS AND |
| | AREAS. PLEASE SEE TEXT WHICH IS TAKEN FROM COMMENTARY |
| | IN THE CODE WHICH STATES THE USE OF *GEN LT* ETC IS NOT |
| | ACCEPTABLE. (CIRCUITS 1-5) |
| | *SECTION 408.4 WAS REVISED FOR THE 2005 CODE TO REQUIRE |
| | 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 |

| | ON PLANS FOR RESIDENTIAL HOMES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN |

| | 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 |
