# Fire Alarm
## Sequence
### 1. Estimate preparation
1. Initial the OneNote
2. Read about the project specifications and construction type
3. Find Fire Alarm plans (if present)
4. Locate the following rooms:
* Fire Command Center (FCC)
* Generator Room
* Fire Pump Room
* Elevator Control Rooms
* Elevator Shafts
* Stairwells
### 2. Takeoff
#### Riser
##### Fire Command Center
{Building Type} Head End CA.30.23.X
##### Generator Room
CA.30.22.2
##### Fire Pump Room
CA.30.22.4
##### FACR to Elevator Shafts
Elevator Shafts (CA.30.22.8)
FACR TO ELEV SHAFT 1 ½" (CA.30.22.10/11)
Measure Length from the most distant points of the FACR and each shaft.
Input adder length to reach the bottom of the pit
(Minimum 15ft adder).
```
| 1 shaft | 2 shafts |
| || +--------+ +--------+ || | || +--------+ || +--------+ || |
| || | Elev 1 | | Elev 2 | || | || | Elev 1 | || | Elev 2 | || |
| || +--------+ +--------+ || | || +--------+ || +--------+ || |
| ||=======================|| | ||============||============|| |
| | |
```
##### FACR to Elevator Control Rooms
Elevator Control Room (CA.30.22.6)
FACR/FCC TO ELEV CONTROL ROOM (CA.30.22.13/14)
* Measure the Horizontal and Vertical Distance from the FACR to the ECR.
* Use Typicals for the vertical riser. (Ex// 10' per floor)
##### FACR to Stairwells
FACR TO STAIRWELLS 1" PVC (CA.30.22.17)
* Measure from the furthest end of FACR to the furthest end of the stairwell to find length
* This is for the Flow/Tamper modules in the stairwells
##### Terminal Cabinets
TERMINAL CABINETS (2) 2" EMT/PVC (CA.30.26.X)
Horizontal:
* Measure from the Fire Command room to all electrical rooms
Vertical:
* Use 10ft Riser in Typical
* GA or HD - 1" conduit / HR - (2) 2" conduits)
##### Annunciator Panels
* Fire Alarm Annunciator (FAA),
* Fire Alarm Annunciator Panel (FAAP)
ANNUNCIATORS (CA.30.27.2/3)
Remote Serial Annunciator, LCD Display - PVC
* Measure from the Fire Command Room to FAA or Lobby
##### Sleeving
#### Devices
1. Takeoff floor plans in order
2. Takeoff enlarged drawings
##### Smoke Detectors
_Design Build:_
Count every stairwell at every level.
##### Pull Stations
_Design Build:_
Count every stairwell at every level
and every exterior exit.
##### Flow-Tamper Switches
No free air. if wood frame, take off as EMT.
_Design Build:_
Count every stairwell at every level.
##### Magnetic Door Holders
Mech Connection - PVC AL Flex - 20 A
_Design Build:_
Count every set of double doors.
(Typical of elevator lobbies and corridors)
##### Speaker Strobes
_Design Build:_
* Count every 75 ft,
* measure with circles on Bluebeam
* or divide relevant SF area by 4415
* $\pi(\frac{75}{2})^2 \approx 4415$
* every elevator lobby,
* and every BOH room on the first floor and garage levels.
#### Fire Smoke Dampers (FSD's)
Take off both FA and Electrical
* Misc Assemblies
### 3. Extension (Review and Checking)
* Sleeving
