Eli Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Good morning, A new purpose built block of flats 4 storeys plus a penthouse so 5 floors in total new build with a total of 7 flats with a stay put policy in place The block has smoke detectors & sounders which also activates the AOV - 1) what would your advise be with regards to the sounders 2) The detection is on the wall rather than centrally placed on the ceiling 3) The fire alarm panel is inside the water riser instead of in the entrance lobby & they wanted to put a note on the water riser stating the alarm panel was inside Looking for thoughts/advise on all three points please Kind regards Eli-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sutton Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think this is an AOV control system and not a fire alarm and the use of sounders seem to be not necessary. I understand wall mounted detectors are acceptable under certain situations so check out BS 5839 and an AOV control box may be able to be situated in such a location. Check out https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/22/messages/AHy_aH9aGMEgXLWUFQGSWEp7xnU?.intl=uk&.lang=en-GB&.partner=none&.src=fp may be useful and Guidance on Smoke Control to Common Escape Routes in Apartment Buildings (Flats and Maisonettes).
