FDAS | Design Requirements

 

 

The general purpose of a Fire Detection and Alarm System is to detect at the earliest  stage of a fire, and to give a announce via an alarm to alert the occupants so that appropriate action can be decided. The alert display within the FDAS shall also be notified  so that an appropriate action and maintenance can be initiated to keep the system in normal operating condition at all times.

All the individual components of an Fire Detection and Alarm System shall be compatible with each other. Suggest to have one brand for a system.

All system equipment shall be approved and listed by institutions  recognized by the relevant authority, and suitable for use in the Philippines, considering ambient conditions such as temperature and relative humidity, and electricity supply of 220 Vac at 60 Hz. If any equipment is located in an area where it is exposed to corrosion, high humidity, extreme temperature or other special condition, the design and installation shall be such that the reliability  of the system is not affected by such condition.

The Fire Detection and Alarm System shall be interfaced with Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) leak detection system to allow immediate notification and produce an alarm upon detection.

In the absence of LPG leak detection system, the Fire Detection and Alarm System shall integrate LPG leak detection into the system to LPG lines to allow immediate notification and produce an alarm upon detection.

Detector selection shall be based on actual site conditions, site requirements, and ambient conditions. However, the Fire Detection and Alarm System integrity shall include from nuisance alarms.

The detectors shall be located with a least a meter radial distance to air blowers or air diffusers.

Why do the Philippines have slow internet?

Image
  It isn't that the country's regulatory landscape makes it difficult for internet service providers to put up the necessary infrastructure.  Actually the approval of electronics systems designs and plans in the city and municipal areas isn't difficult, it was most likely because they could not enforce the law. And also corrupt government officials exploit this lack of enforcement to steal money from the telecommunication companies. The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), has released memorandum circulars on RA 9292, Electronics Engineering Law of 2004 regarding its implementation. The Local Government Units should already have a guide in formulating a unified and defined set of procedures in the releasing electronics permit and in the checking and approving of electronics system plans and designs. The country's regulatory landscape NEVER make...

The Distributed Antenna System

A distributed antenna system is most often used to distribute cellular network coverage to heavily populated buildings, such as offices, high-rise apartments, shopping centers or sports stadiums. The Telecommunication facility is one of the major parts of the building utility to provide communications. The building owner shall provide space to house the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system is part of the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system, is an in-building solution comprising of a number of pico cells to provide wireless coverage and services using 2G. 3G, 4G, 5G, and even 6G wireless access technology. Definite number of antennas constitutes one single sector; this means that these set of antennas are strategically installed inside a building / compoun...

An electronic engineer in the renewable energy sector

Examples of renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, bio-energy (organic matter burned as a fuel) and hydroelectric, including tidal energy.  Renewable energy engineers develop and design systems to use energy from renewable resources, such as the sun, wind, and water. Renewable resources are energy sources that are naturally and continually replaced. They are alternatives to nonrenewable resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas that do not replenish themselves, and are environmentally destructive. It's crucial to gain specialized expertise. Focus on understanding the electronic components that are vital for renewable energy systems, such as inverters, which convert direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses. Familiarize yourself with energy storage systems, ...
