  2. An exit shall be formed by a minimum of a dual aisle detection system. The corridor or aisle(s) width is 36” to comply with ADA.

PART 3– EXECUTION

3.1PREPARATION

  1. Examine areas and conditions under which Work will be performed to determine best location for detection units, and to insure prerequisite Work has been installed, including:
  1. Electrical convenience outlet (120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, AC 3-wire with ground) for connecting system power supply box to be mounted on wall adjacent to outlet.
  2. Conduit 1.25 inchfromstub up in first aisle, then stub down and up to second aisle.
  3. Electrical convenience outlet (120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, AC 3-wire with ground) for detection systemto be installed within 10 feet of outlet.
  4. Proximity to metal objects: See Installation Requirements
  1. Coordinate with installation of Library casework to provide proper routing and access holes through Charge Desk for access to power outlet and for hook-up of sensing unit. Holes shall be concealed and shall not interfere with functioning of desk storage spaces and other equipment to be installed in desk.
  2. Contractor shall verify project conditions and promptly report to Construction Manager and Architect all conditions adversely affecting proper installation of specified equipment and await further instruction.

  2. Maintain the minimum distance, 7 feet, from the Detection System to a CRT (computer) display.
  3. Avoid positioning the Detection System within 5 feet of power panels, data cables, and large conduits.
  4. Provide a 4 foot clear space between the system panels and any door.
  5. Locate the system to allow good observation/supervision of the system by the circulation desk staff.
  6. Books and other secured items must be stored at least 3 feet from the Detection System.
  7. Power requirements are computer based devices that require high quality, sure and noise free electrical power for optimum performance.
  8. Single phase power is required. The system is supplied with a 16 gauge, 3-wire, S-rating 10 foot long NEMA 5-15 plug.
