11. Fire Alarm: Initiation devices will consist of emergency power off (EPO) as it relates to the fuel system, manual pull stations, heat detectors, smoke detectors, duct-mounted smoke detectors, flow switches, tamper switches and flame detection system. Notification appliances will consist of horn/strobes. A central EPO shall be provided at the main entrance of the facility as dictated by the Fire Marshal for entire shutdown of fuel system.
Technology
Telecommunications Needs: The rental car quick turn around area (QTA) is predominantly a RAC staff only area with different telecommunication requirements from other areas previously described. The RACs will require their own voice/data communications in the work areas, connecting to all other areas where they operate. SMAA will require connectivity for STS, BMS, the fuel management system, security and work areas for SMAA employees.
Telecommunications Room Placement: One or more telecom rooms will be required in this building to service SMAA infrastructure. Similar to other areas, the coverage of each telecom room will be defined by a radius of 200'. Each IDF location will have separate rooms for SMAA and RAC communications equipment. The two rooms will be connected by raceway where the RAC will connect to the SMAA fiber optic backbone for network connectivity. An outside service provider entrance will be made available for entrance of local exchange carriers in case a RAC does not want to use STS.
Telecommunications Backbone Cabling: Once rooms are defined, fiber optic cabling will be required to tie these rooms into the SMAA network. One room inside the building will be selected as MDFs.
Horizontal Cabling: The horizontal cabling servicing all IT devices surrounding each of the telecommunications rooms will consist of 4-pair category cables. Based on the SMAA projects with this scope completed since the SMAA Telecommunications Design Manual was updated, CAT6 cabling will be specified for use.
Telecommunications Raceways: A telecommunications raceway system will be required to run backbone and horizontal cabling. These raceways will be composed of conduits and cable trays. Cable trays will be installed in areas where multiple communication cables will be bundled together and in areas where these cable trays can be made accessible or aesthetics are not a concern to have them exposed. Conduits will be used in all other areas where ceilings are not accessible, not aesthetically acceptable, or in areas where very few cables are required. At no point will SMAA cabling be installed in j-hooks or free wiring. Diverse, disparate pathways will be provided for conduits and cable tray (protected by inner duct) containing SMAA fiber optic backbone cabling.
Telecommunications Grounding: A telecommunications grounding system will be required for the telecom rooms. This system will be composed of telecommunications
