IGF::OT::IGF PROVIDE AN AUTOMATIC AIR SAMPLING DETECTION SYSTEM (SITE STANDARD IS VESDA AS MANUFACTURED BY XTRALIS) FOR LAB 1500 IN BUILDING 24 AT NIST-BOULDER, CO. PLANS ARE FOR LAB 1500 TO BE OCCUPIED BY A NEW ANECHOIC CHAMBER THAT WILL BE PROVIDED A DEDICATED FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM WITH ITS OWN CHAMBER DETECTION SYSTEM FOR OPERATION OF THE SUPPRESSION PROTECTION. THE PURPOSE OF THE LAB 1500 DETECTION SYSTEM IS TO INITIATE OPERATION OF THE EXISTING ROOM PROVIDED SINGLE-INTERLOCK PRE-ACTION AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND TO INITIATE BUILDING EVACUATION NOTIFICATION THROUGH THE EXISTING BUILDING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM ALONG WITH NOTIFICATION TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. THE BUILDING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM IS AN EXISTING NOTIFIER MODEL NFS2-640 FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL (FACP) LOCATED AT THE NORTH ENTRANCE TO THE BUILDING. THE EXISTING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM INCLUDES EXISTING MANUAL PULL STATIONS AT OR NEAR LAB 1500 THAT ARE CAPABLE OF INITIATING RELEASE OF THE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM WATER INTO THE PIPE (RELEASE OF THE DELUGE VALVE) UPON USE OF TWO OF THE MANUAL PULL STATIONS. THE AIR SAMPLING DETECTION SYSTEM FOR LAB 1500 SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO TRIP THE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER DELUGE VALVE UPON FIRE 2 LEVEL DETECTION (THE TWO POINTS OF DETECTION CONCEPT IS DESIRABLE FOR RELEASE OF WATER INTO THE PIPE).
