Question: Too much of a commitment to standards for your taste ?
Is there anyone here knowing the commercial fire alarm system?
Answer:"The new rule allows a UL listed firm (or the building owner) to do the
installation. It requires a UL listed monitoring center. I'll check
with one of my clients (a captain in the Miami FD) to see if they also
require runner service".
That comment Mr. Bass, just shows how much you don't know about
a fire alarm system. I'll state the claim again.....
"you must be a UL listed installer to install a fire alarm system in
a commercial building in Miami-Dade, Boca Raton, Del Ray, Palm Beach
County and parts of Lee county".
The owner of a building cannot be UL listed. And, if he were to install a
fire
alarm system, how would he get a permit or a certificate of occupancy when
the fire department won't inspect it. Who would respond to a fire?
And yes Mr. Bass, runner service is required.
You would know that, if you knew what was required for Central Station
Service was under NFPA 72.
Tell your customer (the Miami FD Captain you referred to), that the
information
about the new fire policy at the last Miami-Dade meeting with the
fire alarm contractors and electricians, was given out by Lt. Joe Gagliano
and Fire Marshall M.C. Mena., and went into effect on November 15, 2005.
(If in fact you do have a customer in Miami that is a FD Captain).
About 70 people including myself were in attendance.
