DESIGN PHILOSOPHY FOR FIRE ALARM DETECTION & FIRE FIGHTING SERVICES
The Fire Alarm and Detection System for the Substation Building and Guard Room shall
comprise the following:
Fire alarm devices at the Guard Room and Pump Room are linked directly to the main fire
alarm control panel located at C & R room and no separate panel shall be provided being
very small rooms. Guard room shall be linked to the main fire alarm control panel through
fire alarm junction box and fire alarm repeater panel shall be located in Guard room.
The fire alarm control panel shall be located at Control and Relay room with alarm
and fault indication. An analogue addressable system fire alarm control panel shall
be used complete with battery / charger units.
All the control wiring system shall be fire resistant cables in GI conduits.
2. Fire Detectors
• Smoke Fire Alarm Detectors shall be provided in all station rooms covering an
area of approximately 80 m 2 .
• Explosion proof heat detectors and explosion proof manual call points shall be
provided inside the Battery room.
• For areas under flat ceiling, the maximum horizontal distance between any
point and nearest smoke detector is not more than 7.5 meters and 5.3 meters
for the heat detectors.
• Areas that are low fire risk such as toilet and emergency escape staircase,
smoke detectors shall not be provided where it might be subject to false alarm.
