3. Hosereel System
5. Fire Extinguishers
7. Decam System
Water supply is taken from PUB supply to the Sprinkler RC Tank via (2)
number of electric pumps sets to pump water to sprinkler control valve at 1st
storey.
One (1) number of electric pump for duty operation and one (1) number of
pump for standby operation with one (1) number of jockey pump located at
Basement Sprinkler/ Hosereel Pump Room.
Once a sprinkler head is activated, system pressure will drop. The pressure
switch will sense this drop and automatically starts the electric duty pump
which will send water to the activated sprinkler heads via the control valve.
If the duty pump set fails to start, then the standby pump set will cut in
automatically.
The jockey pump set will automatically start by the pressure switch when
there is a small drop in pressure and will not start if any of the sprinkler pump
set is in operation.
Testing
The Automatic Sprinkler is designed with the minimum of maintenance in
mind. Certain simple maintenance procedures should, however, be carried
out at three monthly intervals and these are as follows:
2] Check that the gland of the Isolating Stop Valve is not leaking and tighten
or replaced, if necessary.
It is recommended that every three years, the alarm valve settings be checked
to ensure that there has been no deterioration.
Whenever there is a testing, always inform Cisco hotline before and after the
test.
Note
It is advised that the maintenance staff be well informed about the system.

electric pump with jockey pump located at Basement pump room which serves
the Sprinkler System.
Please note: -
a. The 150mm diameter control valve must be OPENED
b. The 50mm diameter drain valve must be CLOSED
c. The 80mm diameter test valve must be CLOSED
Sprinkler Heads
The type of sprinkler head used is 68degC Standard Response 5mm glass bulb
type for Basement, Carpark, Gym and Clubhouse. For 1ststorey Blk 8 & 2
Corridors, the type of sprinkler head used is 68degC Quick Response 3mm
glass bulb type. Royal Flush Sprinkler types are used for ceiling covered area.
b. The duty pressure switch will sense the pressure drop which will
automatically starts the duty pump. (In case of failure of duty pump,
the standby pump set will start automatically).
d. When there is a minor drop of pressure in the system, the jockey pump
set will start first and boost up the pressure before the activation of
sprinkler pump’s pressure switch.
A. GENUINE FIRE
i) If the sprinkler head is activated and there is a fire, NEVER SWITCH
OFF THE PUMPSET MANUALLY.
ii) Until the fire is put down, go to the pump room and do the following: -
a) Switch off the pump set manually
b) Close the control valve’s gate valve
c) Drain off the water
d) Replace the sprinkler head
B. FALSE ALARM
In the case of false alarm: -
1. Immediately inform Certis CISCO Monitoring Station (Decam)
Hot Line No.: 18007466337
(inform them not to send fire engines i.e. If it is NOT too late!)
2. Isolate the bells and gong
3. Investigate the false alarm
1. Close gate valve of the sprinkler installation control valves (on main
water supply) only after the fire is extinguished.
2. Open 80mm diameter main drain
3. Proceed to stop the pumps
4. Replace sprinkler heads which have operated
5. Reset the pumps
6. Open drain valve to vent air from sprinkler system piping
7. Open (slowly) gate valve of the sprinkler installation control valve (on
mains water supply). Do not open valve fully at start of water flow into
system as a water hammer will occur, either damaging wiping or
trapping large volume of air in system. Remember to close the 80mm
diameter drain valve.
8. Once the pressure resumes normal, proceed to stop the pumps and
reset the sprinkler jockey pump to auto mode.
9. Once the jockey pumps stop, reset the main pump to auto mode.
The Dry Riser System is meant for the Fireman’s uses only with the fire engine

It is advised that the maintenance staff shall be well briefed & trained about
the system.
5.FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
The fire extinguishers are installed as per SS CP55:1991, which are placed
in all strategic locations and to be used to spray at the Fire (Small) and are
being installed accordingly to the FSSD Submission drawings.
Class A
Class A fires involving the burning of ordinary combustible materials like
wood, paper, cloth, furnishing, plastics and rubber.
Class B
Class B fires are fires involving flammable liquids, solvents, oils, paints,
thinner and flammable gases.
Operation
All fire extinguishers come with attached operating instructions, read the
instructions before operation:
a) Remove safety pin
b) Squeeze handle and direct nozzle and aim towards the fire
Maintenance
All fire extinguishers must be checked to ensure that it is fully charged and
operative.
The addressable system consists of one or more circuits that radiate throughout the
depot. Also, like standard systems, one or more alarm initiating devices may be located
along these circuits. The major difference between system types involves the way in
which each device is monitored. In an addressable system, each initiating device
(heat/smoke detector, manual call point) is given a specific identification or "address".
This address is correspondingly programmed into the control panel's memory with
information such as the type of device, its location, and specific response details such
as which alarm devices are to be activated.
The control panel's microprocessor sends a constant interrogation signal over each
circuit, in which each initiating device is contacted to inquire its status (normal or
emergency). This active monitoring process occurs in rapid succession, providing
system updates every 5 to 10 seconds.
The addressable system also monitors the condition of each circuit, identifying any
faults which may occur. One of the advancements offered by these systems is their
ability to specifically identify where a fault has developed.
Therefore, instead of merely showing a fault along a wire, they will indicate the location
of the problem. This permits faster diagnosis of the trouble, and allows a quicker repair
and return to normal.
With respect to maintenance, the addressable fire alarm system offers several key
advantages over conventional ones. First of all, they are able to monitor the status of
each detector. As a detector becomes dirty, the microprocessor recognizes a decreased
capability, and provides a maintenance alert. This feature, known as Listed Integral
Sensitivity Testing, allows facilities personnel to service only those detectors that
needed attention, rather than requiring a labor and time-consuming cleaning of all
units.
System Layout
Main Alarm Panel with Master Mimic Panel installed at Guard House and 1 no of Sub
Mimic Panel for the Substation.
STROBE LIGHT
The beacon light offers maximum efficiency and reliability that are suitable for a wide
range of fire, security and industrial applications. It is effective particularly where high
noise levels or ear defenders might affect the audibility of sounders alone.
The unique feature of this beacon light is the suppression of current surge at switch-
on. The control of surge current alleviates the associated problems of fuse failures,
relay contact damage and high-power supply ratings.
ALARM BELL/SOUNDER
The alarm sounder or alarm bell is used in conjunction with the beacon lights to warn
others that a fire alarm had been activated.
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel by GST is a truly sophisticated state of the art digital addressable fire
alarm panel. It uses algorithms coupled with fuzzy logic to reduce unwanted fire alarms
and to enhance the sensitivity of the system to true fire phenomenon.
The control panel is interactive in the way that it evaluates the data of each fire sensor
and can learn from the information received. This may simply be to recognize that a
sensor is becoming contaminated or in a dirty environment and to automatically adjust
the alarm threshold to compensate for the background levels.
7. DECAM SYSTEM
CERTIS CISCO (CENTRAL MONITORING STATION)
Contact Number:
Certis CISCO CMS operator – Hot Line No: 18007466337 (within 3 minutes)
1. When there is a ‘Fire Alarm Activation’, both the SCDF Control Room and Certis
CISCO Central Monitoring Station (CMS) will receive the signal simultaneously.
2. The Certis CISCO CMS operator shall inform the building security guard
immediately by telephone and instruct him to check and report status to Certis
CISCO CMS (Hot Line No: 18007466337) within 3 minutes. (Please refer to
Note: 1, 2 and 3 below).
3. The building security guard shall check and report status to Certis CISCO
operator within 3 minutes by telephone. He shall furnish the building’s
“PASSCODE” and his identity and his report will be as follows:
4. On receipt of ‘confirmation’ from the building security guard, Certis CISCO CMS
Operator shall inform SCDF accordingly through the hotline for appropriate action.
1. The SCDF will dispatch fire appliance to the building if they do not receive
Confirmation within 3 minutes of Alarm activation.
2. However, should the building security guard report status to Certis CISCO CMS
Operator after the specified time limit (i.e. after the fire appliance had been
In such a situation,
a) If the alarm is genuine, SCDF will take necessary action to put off the fire.
b) If it is a false alarm, SCDF will take necessary to ‘call back’ the fire appliance
provided it had not arrived at the building. However, if the fire appliance had
already arrived at the building, then SCDF will consider it as a False Alarm Call.
1. In event of a building being responsible for more than 2 false alarm calls per
annum, a penalty of S$200.00 per occurrence will be applied for the 3rd and
subsequent fire alarm calls within that period of 12 months. This amount is to
be paid by the subscribe to SCDF through Certis CISCO.
3. It is equally important that while communicating, both the Certis CISCO CMS
operator and the building security guard furnish the identities to each other
for record purposes.
4. Co-operation from all relevant parties will certainly help to minimize the
number of false alarm calls.
1. For regular testing of the Fire Alarm System in the building the security guard
carrying out such test shall inform the Certis CISCO CMS operator immediately
before commencement of the test as well as immediately after completing the
test. During each test, the correct PASSCODE must be furnished.
