Fire Detection & Alarm: submittal requirements
Fire alarm and security submittals answer to the AHJ as well as the engineer. Battery calculations, voltage drop, device listings, and sync requirements are all checked — an incomplete package doesn't get a partial approval, it gets rejected.
What reviewers expect in a fire detection & alarm package
- Device data sheets for every initiating and notification device, all listed for the use
- Battery calculations with the required standby and alarm margins
- Voltage drop calculations for notification circuits
- Riser diagram and point-to-point wiring details
- Panel and power supply data with circuit capacities
- Candela settings and synchronization for visual notification
- Monitoring and off-premises connection details
Field tip
Run the battery calcs at the spec's required margin (often 20–25%), not the code minimum — engineers check the math, and short margins are the most common Division 28 rejection.
