Obtaining Permit Approval of Commercial Fire Alarms




Commercial fire alarm installation requires approval from the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and requires submission of shop drawings and floor plans.  These drawings must include fire alarm wiring schematics, the quantity and placement of fire detection sensors, warning systems, control panels, central monitoring, evacuation routes and any other applicable situation.

HRSS Provides Data Sheets and CAD Drawings for Permit Approval

High Rise Security Systems provides all required data sheets and drawings to obtain permit approval for commercial fire alarm installation or renovations.  We use CAD systems to create detailed fire alarm system designs for review by local authorities.  Floor plan schematics provided by HRSS include:
    • Standard scale with compass indicator
    • Floor level noted
    • Location of all doors, partitions and walls
    • Dimensions and use of all rooms
    • Location of main power supply
    • Location of all fire alarms
    • Location of all devices and circuit connection
    • Conduits with quantity and type noted
    • Location of air supply and air diffusers
    • Areas of interfaces and central control
