This project involves upgrading the existing main Building B fire alarm system. The upgrade includes all four (4) floors and is phased to perform the work one floor at a time, with device demolition limited to the Pharmacy area of Building B. The intent is to keep the system active during the renovation period with minimal downtime.
The upgrade work provides new:
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
Remote Graphic Annunciator
Emergency Voice Communication Panel system
Replacement of 14 Nodes with new Siemens Panels
The existing, to remain, devices will have the existing cables reentered into the new Node panels and the system reprogrammed and certified by Siemens.
The new Nodes will tie into the new main FACP located in Building C with a fiber optic cable in Class X configuration. Conduit and FA cables will be extended to the new devices from the existing system where possible with new home runs to the panels.
