Location: Sugar Land, TX
The leadership at the Maryam Islamic Center contacted us seeking a complete fire alarm solution for their commercial building. Their primary goal was to install a modern, code-compliant system that would ensure the swift and effective notification of all occupants in the event of a fire emergency, protecting both lives and property.
Our team designed and installed a complete, 142-zone addressable fire alarm system tailored to the unique needs of the center's prayer halls, classrooms, and offices. The solution included:
Control and Monitoring:
Centralized Fire Control Panel: A powerful panel with a 56 VA transformer serves as the brain of the system.
Uninterrupted Power: A 12v 7ah sealed lead acid battery and a 10-amp power supply ensure the system remains online during a power outage.
Remote Annunciator: An LCD display annunciator was installed for convenient at-a-glance system monitoring by facility staff.
Detection and Activation:
Advanced Smoke Detectors: Strategically placed throughout the facility for early fire detection.
Manual Pull Stations: 850D Pull Stations allow for immediate manual activation of the alarm by occupants.
Notification and Suppression:
Horn Strobes: High-decibel horns with selectable candela strobes provide clear audio and visual alerts, meeting ADA accessibility guidelines.
ABC Fire Extinguishers: 10lb fire extinguishers were installed in key locations for immediate response to small fires.
Reliable Communication:
AT&T LTE Cellular Communicator: Ensures a reliable, dedicated connection to our 24/7 monitoring station, independent of phone lines.
Surge Protection: A robust surge protector was installed to safeguard the system's critical communication components.
PROJECT OUTCOME
Fire Alarm Houston successfully installed and commissioned a state-of-the-art fire alarm system that meets all local and national fire codes. The Maryam Islamic Center is now equipped with a robust and reliable life-safety infrastructure, providing peace of mind to its leadership and the entire community that uses the facility.
