It consists of red colour handset complete with a dynamic receiver and condenser microphone transmitter. The handset is housed red metal cabinet with glass front panel, a break glass and key operated door. Calling and fault condition of all RFIS are monitored at the MFIP, ©) Remote Telephone Terminal Unit (RTTU) 4METHOD STATEMENT Tile; Methad Statement for Fire Protection] Page 42 of Company Services Installation 46 Reference i) To be situated at any of the suitable area, i.e. telephone or electrical riser. ii) It consist of red color box complete with zone card termination card. iii) One RTTU can be linked to a maximum of 10 RFIS per set. 2) All the RFIS are to be terminated to the RTTU by 1 pair of PVC cable 1.5mm-sq each. 3) Wiring from the RTTU (Remote Telephone Terminal Unit) to the Main Fireman Intercom Panel are a) 1 pair twisted and screened (5.4mmz2) for data transmission b) 1 pair RVC cable (2.5mm2) for speech line. ©) 1 pair PVC cable (2.5mm2) for power supply. TESTING & COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES 1) Minimum of two people are required for the testing. One stationed at the Fireman Intercom Panel and the other at any chosen Remote Fireman Intercom Station to actuate calls 2) Check alll indicating light on the Main Fireman Intercom panel console are in good condition 3) Calling from the master handset to remote intercom station; a) Pick-up the master handset, key-in the remote station's zone number at the keypad. (Example : Zone 12. Press ‘Call’ Key, followed by ‘12’ and enter key). b) Led at the remote handset box will light up Check the correct remote station at the zone. c) Open the remote handset box, pick-up the handset. Two-way communication should establish 42METHOD STATEMENT Tile Methad Statement for Fire Protection] Page 43 of Company Services Installation 46 Reference 4) Calling from any remote intercom station to the Main Fireman Intercom panel; a) Open the remote handset station box and pick up the handset, call led at the MFIP should blinked and buzzer ring continuously. b) Check the correct zone’s calling at the Main Fireman Intercom Panel. ¢) To establish the call. Pick up the master handset. 5) Conference call or party lines can be generated from master handset or remote stations - Maximum of 9 remote fireman intercom + 1 master handset can communicate simultaneously. a) Refer to ‘CALL’ procedure (8.3 or 8.4) b) During Conferencing, the master panel can terminate any calls of the remote station by pressing the ‘CUT’ key. ¢) The master panel can also establish new outgoing or incoming calls by following the ‘CALL procedures’ and the first received call will be cut-off. 6) Reset the system and return it to normal position.

Ensure proper coordination with the Main Contractor and other trades to optimize the space allocation and proper conduits management. Site supervisor will measure the length of G.I. conduit required for installation at site and instruct the workers to prepare these conduits. Installation will be carried out in a planned and timely fashion so as not to delay works by other trades, For horizontal installation of conduits, straight lines are marked by using string coated with white powder, tied to the nails at both ends, Ensures appropriate string tension by plucking and releasing the string beforeMETHOD STATEMENT ‘Tile; Methad Statement for Fire Protection] Page 45 of Company Services Installation 46 Reference 2) 3) 4) drawing the straight line. Repeat the steps above for vertical surface installation. FIXING OF SURFACE G.I. CONDUIT a) After dismantling the strings and the nails, drill holes along the white lines. Insert the drop-in anchor bolt into the holes before installing the rods. b) Clip the G.I. conduits to the rods by using fasteners. ©) If necessary, the G.I. conduit will be cut to length required and threaded. Threading will be process by stocks and dies. Rotate the stocks and dies two and a half turns in a clockwise direction and the in a counter clockwise direction, to clear away the accumulated swart. This will enable the tread to be cut cleanly and efficiently without fear of stripping. Once completed, file across the leading edge of the thread and reamer the inner periphery. This prevents cable snagging on burred edges d) Conduit sockets complete with thread joint two length of conduits. In case of crossing or ending or at ‘T’ junction area, cross-boxes, “Tee” boxes, “Trough” boxed are normally used to link up conduit pipes. e) As soon as the conduits are fixed, site supervisor will check and inspect the site to ensure that installations are according to the shop drawings. A formal request will be extended to the Resident Engineer. STANDARD AND CERTIFICATION a) Ensure that the capacities of trunkings and conduits provided are adequate to cater all wirings with a minimum spare space of 40%. METHOD OF FIXING OF CONCEALED G.I CONDUITS a) Place the conduits between the two layers of slab rebar or behind the column rebars from dropper to socket outlet points. b) Ensure that conduits, inspection boxes, back boxes and all other accessories used are rigidly secured to the rebar and all joints are firmly tightened before concreting,METHOD STATEMENT Tile; Methad Statement for Fire Protection] Page: 46 of Company Services Installation 46 Reference 6) 7) 8) 9) ¢) Site supervisor must ensure that preventive measures are taken to keep concrete and unwanted materials from getting into the conduit by temporarily sealing off the open-ended conduits with tape.
