# Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Takeoff

> [!important]
> Complete [[emergency-systems-research]] before beginning takeoff.

> [!info]
> See [[emergency-communications-systems]] for information
> about Emergency Responder Radio Communication Systems (ERRCS).

> [!info] Cellular Systems
> Less common than ERRCS are "cellular DAS" systems

## Backbone

### FACR to Every Elevator Shaft

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`DAS ASSEMBLIES`/`FACR TO ELEV PIT = ...`

Match Fire Alarm takeoff Length and Count

### FACR to Every Staircase

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`DAS ASSEMBLIES`/`FACR TO STAIRWELL = ...`

Match Fire Alarm takeoff Length and Count

### Stairwell Riser Every 2 Floors

> 1. `COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`DAS ASSEMBLIES`/`STAIRWELL RISER EVERY 2 FLRS = ...`
>     * **Count** = Each stairwell

### FACR to Electric Room

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`DAS ASSEMBLIES`/`FACR TO 2HR-RATED RM = ...`

Match Fire Alarm takeoff Length

### Electric Room Riser to Every Floor

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`DAS ASSEMBLIES`/`2HR-RATED RM RISER TO EVERY FLR = ...`

Takeoff in every Electric Room

### Top 2H Rated Room To Roof

> [!info] Takeoff
> 1. `COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`DAS ASSEMBLIES`/`TOP 2HR RATED RM TO ROOF = ...`
>    * **Length** = 15ft or height of ceiling on last building level

## Horizontal
