Remodels add ons maintenance

When remodels are done the fire marshal should be notified, plans should be submitted with battery calculations, voltage line drop calculations and data sheets. If you say that you are only adding one horn strobe so it does not matter you should still contact the fire marshal to discuss what if anything they might need. They may want to do a 24 hour battery test to make sure all is ok. It is best to contact them with any concerns.

When maintenance is done it is good to get permission from the AHJ Fire Marshal and often all he or she will want is to check your battery calculations and have a 24 hour battery test after the system is installed. If you are just replacing existing equipment with the devices /new equipment that can be done under maintenance.

When you add on to a system such as adding horn strobes to new areas a plan should also be submitted and the fire marshal will want to approve the plans and calculations. The same applies if you will be adding tampers, flow switch connections or other items.
