PROJECT NAME:

VESDA  (Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Remove existing Halon tanks from ITS server Room Lower Level of District Office and install a new VESDA System.

SCHEDULE:

Electrical work and installation of the new system will take place over the next two weeks. Testing will take place the week of April 7th during ‘off ‘ hours.

CAMPUS IMPACT:

Fire Alarm panels in the District Office may go into a ‘Trouble Alarm’ intermittently over the next few weeks during certain construction activities. The alarm will sound only from the panel. The panel is reacting to changes and responding with an appropriate signal. Please disregard panel alarms.

In the case of an emergency, horns and strobes would activate and all should evacuate the building immediately.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. The new VESDA System replaces a chemical fire suppressant with  a more desirable, high sensitivity air sampling-type early warning detection system selected by ITS.
