All New Instillation and any Modification(s) to any existing Fire Alarm System(s)requires a permit. The Permit Fee is $100.00, paid to the City of Rowlett.
Fire Alarm Plan(s) Review Submittal:
This section facilitates application for plan review. Included are the most frequently found code problems or questions and the Fire Marshal’s Office standard polices for plan review and system acceptance.
Plans shall be submitted only to the Fire Marshal’s Office. Submittals require the completion of the “Rowlett Fire Marshal’s Office Plan Review Submittal Form.” Plans will not be received without a completed form(s), “No Exceptions!” (Note: when using a courier or mail service, make sure a completed form is attached.)
A minimum of three sets of drawings and one submittal book shall be submitted for review.
*Printable Copy of Both Fire Alarm Requirements & Fire Alarm/Fire Sprinkler Permit Forms are located in "Related Information."
Drawing shall include as a minimum:
Title block including the following:
Permit Number
Project Name
Project Address
Contractor Name, Address and License Number
Drawn By
Scale
Date
North Arrow
Legend
Floor Plans drawn to a common scale.
At least one reference dimension for scale verification (this is necessary for measuring circuit-run lengths on drawings on reproduced drawings).
Place the following applicable notes on plans to identify:
“Authority having jurisdiction”,
“Design-in-accordance-with code and code date”,
“Initiating circuit wiring shall be CLASS “A” using physical conductors installed with the outgoing and return conductors separated by a minimum of 6 feet”,
“DUCT detectors to sound a General Alarm – not supervisory signal”,
“Primary Power to be 110-volt dedicated circuit.”
Provide a separate sheet or drawing showing circuit-wiring (not conduit) diagrams for both the initiation and annunciation circuits. Multiple Circuits paths on the same wire run are not acceptable. Additional drawings may be required for systems such as some control fire-fighter phones, or speakers for evacuation.
Simple site map inset showing building site in relation to relevant street(s) and indicates the main entrance
Provide sequences of operations on drawings.
Systems Designer shall hand-sign each sheet in ink.
Drawing size shall be no more than 36 inches high and no width restrictions.
Plans shall be drawn to scale on clean floor plans that identify the use of each room. (Electrical or other busy architectural plans shall not be submitted.)
Circuit wiring from device-to-device shall be drawn on the plans including end-of-line-resistors where are required.
If addressable or analog system, show device address numbers on plans.
If conventional system, provide zoning legend.
Specification submittals shall include:
Brief descriptions of the system design, operation, and reset functions.
Wire Specifications.
Type of primary and secondary power.
When indicating the equipment used in the specifications book, use arrow to identify the model or part, (do not use highlighters);
List of Materials and quantities;
Manufacturer’s Product Information Sheets (Technical Bulletins) that include design parameter’s and power requirements;
Riser Diagram (COMPLETE RISER DIAGRAM); Battery size calculations and battery discharge curves;
Voltage drop calculations;
Address Device List with detailed message (e.g., Corridor Smoke outside Room 205;Water Flow 1st floor)
