operation, with alarm contacts closed until the station is reset. The station shall

5. Multi – sensor Detector: shall be UL listed Early fire detection will be achieved
by combining the performance of photoelectric smoke sensor with a fast –
acting and accurate thermal sensor to provide both features in a single sensor

Analogue information from each sensor will be digitally communicated to the

fire alarm control panel.

- Photoelectric Sensing;-

Photoelectric sensor use a stable, pulsed infrared LED light source and a
silicon photodiode receiver to provide consistent and accurate low power
smoke sensing. Seven levels of sensitivity must be available for each
individual sensor, ranging from 0.2% to 3.7% per foot of smoke obscuration.
Sensitivity is selected and monitored at the fire alarm control panel.
Sensor Head: must provides 360° smoke entry for optimum smoke response.

- Heat Sensing:

heat sensors monitor a fast reacting thermistor providing operation that is self-
restoring and rate compensated. Due to its small thermal mass, the sensor
accurately and quickly measures the local temperature for analysis at the fire
alarm control panel.
The control panel allows alarm selection to be per sensor as fixed temperature,
or rate – of rise temperature, or the combination of both.
Temperature Detection: rate – of – rise temperature detection is selection at
the control panel for either 15° F (8.3° C) or 20° F (11.1° C) per minute. Fixed
remperature sensing is independent of rate – of – rise sensing and selectable to
operate at 135° F (57.2° C) or 155° F (68° C). In a slow developing fire, the
temperature may not increase rapidly enough to operate the rate – of – rise
feature. However, an alarm will be initiated when the temperature reaches its
selected fixed temperature settings.
Utility Temperature Monitoring: heat sensors can be programmed as a utility
device to monitor for temperature extremes in the range from 32° F to 122° F
(0° C to 50° C). This feature can provide freeze warnings or alert to HVAC
system problems.

All Sensor Addressing mechanism and electronics shall be in the base to

avoid programming of address while replacing the sensors Head and also
during maintenance staff wrong Head placement mistakes. Device addressing
shall be done using Dip-Switch. No soft-addressing methods will be
acceptable. Changing the in-out wiring terminals at the device during
installation as well as during maintenance shall not cause any problem to the
system operation.

6. Photoelectric Projected Beam Type Smoke Detector.

Projected photoelectric beam smoke detection is used to protect large areas,

where spot type smoke detection is impractical.

MVP RIYADH HOTEL

MULTIPLEXED/ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM
Date: MAR., 2008. Rev. : 1 16760 - 15
AHC Co.
The microprocessors based long-range beam smoke detector consisting of a
separate transmitter and matching receiver providing accurate and repeatable
monitoring of smoke passing through the light beam.

The transmitter produces a crystal controlled, infrared beam which is monitored by

the receiver to determine smoke obscuration. When the receiver measures beam
intensity below a preset, selectablthreshold, an alarm output is generated .
Standard alarm delay is 30 seconds.

Complete beam blockage and dust accumulation that reduces signal level to 50%
will initial a trouble output. Intermittent beam blockage, such as cleaning, is
ignored. Tamper switches monitor the access covers and cause a circuit trouble if
activated.

Although external light sources must be considered when locating the beam
detector pair, the transmitter beam has a format signature that allows the receiver to
minimize interference from such sources.
