Required: Yes The plan review was performed under the State of Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC), 2007 edition the Oregon Fire Code 2007 edition and 2002 edition of NFPA 72. The submitted plans are approved subject to the following. General Requirements A separate low- voltage electrical permit is required for installation and inspection of alarm wiring. A completed inspection and testing form is required at the time of final inspection containing the information as outlined in NFPA section 10.6.2.3. TESTING — NFPA 72 Chapter 10, OFC 901.2.1, 901.5, 903.5 1. Upon completion of the installation, a satisfactory test of the entire system shall be made in the presence of the building inspector. All functions of the system or alteration shall be tested. 2. A record of completion in accordance with NFPD 72 verifying that the system has been installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications shall be provided. 3. The permittee shall provide written certification to the Fire Chief that the system has been installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. A copy of the completed form shall be maintained on the premises and made available to the Fire Chief. VISUAL ALARMS — NFPA 72 - 5.14.5, 7.5.4, OSSC chapter 9 & 11 1 . 4. When required; Visual alarms shall be located not less than 80 inches and not more than 96 inches above floor level. When a low ceiling exists, the visual alarm shall be mounted within the dimensions stated above and at least 6 inches below the ceiling. No place in a room shall be more than 50 feet from a visual signal. In corridors spacing between devices shall be no more than 100 Ft. and no more than 15 Ft. from the end.

Manual Fire Alarm activation devices when installed shall be mounted in the following reach ranges: • Forward Reach -15 inches to 48 inches above the floor. . • Side Reach — 9 inches to 54 inches above the floor. ALARM SIGNALS — OFC 903.4 6. Alarm, supervisory and trouble signals shall be distinctly different and shall be automatically transmitted to an approved central station, remote supervising station or proprietary supervising station as defined in NFPA 72 or, when approved by the fire code official, shall sound an audible signal at a constantly attended location. 7. Duct smoke detectors shall be connected to the building's fire alarm control panel when a fire alarm system is provided. Activation of a duct smoke detector shall initiate a visible and audible supervisory signal at a constantly attended location. Duct smoke detectors shall not be used as a substitute for required open -area detection. Approved Plans: 1 set of approved plans, bearing the City of Tigard approval stamp, shall be maintained on the jobsite. The plans shall be available to the Building Division inspectors throughout all phases of construction. 106.3.1 OSSC Premises Identification: Approved numbers or addresses shall be provided for all new buildings in such a position as to be plainly visible and legible from the street or road fronting the property. When submitting revised drawings or additional information, please attach a copy of the enclosed City of Tigard, Letter of Transmittal.

Current values are shown in mA. 2. UL Nameplate Rating can vary from Typical Current due to measurement methods and instruments used. 3. GE Security recommends using the Typical Current for system design including NAC and Power Supply loading and voltage drop calculations. 4. Use the Vdc RMS current ratings for filtered power supply and battery AH calculations. Use the Vfwr RMS current ratings for unfiltered power supply calculations. 5. Fuses, circuit breakers and other overcurrent protection devices are typically rated for current in RMS values. Most of these devices operate based upon the heating affect of the current flowing through the device. The RMS current (not the mean current) determines the heating affect and therefore, the trip and hold threshold for those devices. 6. Our industry has used 'mean' currents over the years. However, UL will direct the industry to use the 2004 RMS values in the future. dBA output Light output - (effective cd) U1464 Average Peak High dB Percent of UL rating versus angle Setting Temporal Steady Temporal/ Temporal/ '"` 0 10 Steady Steady +m no im vo m ro m m 40 m ao +o o io m m .o m m io m m im no +m 90 , 16 Vdc 79.8 83.2 90.6 93.6 .11 24 Vdc 83.3 85.4 93.6 96.6 33 Vdc 85 87.8 95.7 98.7 -76• 7s Low d8 UL464 Average Peak .6t) 60' • Setting Temporal Steady Temporal/ Temporal/ Steady Steady .s � <s 16 Vdc 75 79.3 86.3 88.7 24 Vdc 78 83 88.8 92.4 ./'''-1-5. 3o* Vdc 80.9 85.9 91.8 95.1 -'s a . �is Notes 1.
