This will be a requirement of the new system as well. The Camp Core and Camp Housing has been upgraded with Notifer NFS2-640 panel. All detection and notification devices are legacy equipment. The alarm system also encompasses outbuildings (Garage, Training Center, UNICOR Warehouse, Firing Range and Warehouse) that will require to be connected to the main panel located in the main facility. There is fiber optic cable available between each out building and the main building with the exception of the Firing Range which only has copper telco conductivity.

The replacement fire alarm system shall be an addressable system with all panels in a network configuration via a fiber optic backbone.

It is the FBOP's desire each building/area is serviced by its own panel to ease future maintenance and repair. Each panel will report to the main panel that will be located within the main communications shop located in the Outside Administration building (AO). The replacement system shall utilize only those devices and components UL listed for use as a fire alarm system in accordance with the current version of NFPA 72. It is the FBOP's desire to reduce the number of devices used in the new system as much as allowable by code.
