New Construction & Retrofits

For the past 45 years we have developed an excellent
track record with Architects, Engineers, General
Contractors and Electrical Contractors in providing fire
alarm systems to meet every type of building situation.
Our extensive experience in performing Design/Build
type services is unparalleled.
We typically will proactively get involved with all disciplines of construction necessary for
a complete operational code compliant fire alarm system such as:
Coordinate with the Mechanical Engineer/Contractor to determine fire alarm device
requirements based on mechanical equipment layout of fire/smoke dampers and air
handling units for containment and control of smoke migration.
Coordinate with the Fire Protection Engineer/Contractor to insure proper integration
with the fire protection system.
Communicate with the Building Official to insure code compliance.
Our expertise in code knowledge and product availability allows us to provide the most
comprehensive competitive fire alarm system package in the industry.

Retrofit/Replacement Systems
A retrofit or replacement of an existing fire alarm system is a very complicated process
one that will involve any number of elements such as:

Communication with the local Fire Marshal and/or Building Official;

Permitting the work;
Analysis of existing fire alarm system infrastructure;
Analysis of existing building mechanical and fire protection systems;
Cutover plan or process of transitioning the existing system to the new system;
Level of disruption to occupants of the building.
Each fire alarm system retrofit or replacement
is somewhat unique due to existing building
conditions and code requirements. This is
where our knowledge of fire alarm codes and
experience of working in all types of facilities
will benefit our Customer.
Since we consider ourselves a Partner with our

Customer, we will typically suggest a meeting with the Local Authorities to discuss and
outline our approach for replacement of the existing fire alarm system.
The intent of this meeting is to establish confidence in the Local Authorities with our
approach to the replacement process which always results in a much quicker and less
complicated approval. We believe this is invaluable to the overall success of each project.

prompt arrival of emergency personnel to the
scene.. We service, inspect, maintain, repair and
monitor fire alarm systems of all the major
manufacturers. Our factory-trained personnel are

available 24-hours a day, 7-days a week to respond to all of your fire alarm needs
including; voice evacuation, elevator recall, and area of rescue systems.
Our technician will inspect and test the fire alarm control panel, service, clean and test all
devices and verify the signal to the monitoring station. Upon completion of this inspection,
a Fire Alarm Test Report and Certification will be sent to you and to the local Fire
Department. This service work meets NFPA 72 requirements.

Complete Fire Alarm Services:

Detector Sensitivity Testing
Once every two years, per NFPA requirements, our technician will perform a calibrated
sensitivity test to assure that each detector is within its listed sensitivity range and each
detector will initiate an alarm when exposed to smoke of certain concentrations. This test
will be performed in conjunction with one of the semi-annual or annual tests of the fire
alarm system. This service work meets NFPA 72 and IDPH requirements.
Inspection and Testing Fire Dampers
Our technician will test each fire damper, in accordance with 2007 NPFA 80. The fusible
links will be replaced and the old links will be collected and bagged for your inspector, per
IDPH requirements. The damper will be reset after testing. Upon completion of this work,
you will receive a documentation indicating the location of the fire damper, or combination
fire/smoke damper, date of inspection, name of inspector and deficiencies discovered. You
should maintain this documentation for review by the authority having jurisdiction.
Inspection and Testing of Smoke Dampers
Our technician will test each smoke damper to verify that there is full and unobstructed
access to the damper and components. Following the completion of the test, a visual
inspection will be made of the assembly to ensure no obstructions have been introduced
and the moving parts will be lubricated. Additionally, our technician will verify that all
indicating deices work and report to the intended location. The smoke damper will be reset
after testing. The inspections and tests will be documented indicating the location of the
damper, date of inspection and deficiencies discovered. Upon completion, you will receive a
copy of the Inspection Report. This service work meets NFPA 90A(99).
