It can be assumed that all devices will be surface mounted except for areas where there is a drop ceiling, limited to minimal areas at the first and ground level floors. Q5: Specification says no more than 50 addressable devices per SLC. Is it ok to isolate per floor rather than per device count? This would save on field or panel mounted isolators and installation. A5: Isolation per floor is required. More than 50 is acceptable.

4 Page 4 of 6 Q6: Page 10 from 2.7 Notification Appliances states: A. General Requirements for Notification Appliances: Individually addressed, connected to a signaling line circuit, equipped for mounting as indicated and with screw terminals for system connections.

Voice/Alarm Signaling Service: Central emergency communication system with redundant microphones, preamplifiers, amplifiers, and tone generators provided in a separate cabinet located in the fire command center. A7: The main Fire Alarm Control Panel is intended to be in the basement, adjacent to (replacing) the existing fire alarm panel, see revised sheet E1. A spare of each on site is acceptable if it meets minimum code requirements.

Is that the intent on this project? This adds extra expense. A27: Yes, this is the intent. Q28: The drawing indicated that symbol [10] is a combination smoke detector and A/V. These will be separate devices. Are the devices in the bedroom the only location for the 177cd strobes? A28: Separate is acceptable. See plans for locations.
