  1. Important Change 2006Manitoba Building Code 3.2.4.18.(10) & (11) Audibility of Alarm Systems

  2. MBC 3.2.4.18.(10) & (11) • Background: • The 2006 Manitoba Building Code requires that audible fire alarm devices in suites of residential occupancy be supervised. • This is a change from the 1998 MBC where Sentence 3.2.4.19.(11) directly stated that the audible devices located within suites of residential occupancy “are not required to have individual electrical supervision.” • That statement was deleted in the 2006 MBC and although Article 3.2.4.18. doesn’t specifically state that supervision is required, Item 3.3.1.1 in CAN/ULC-S524, Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, does.

  3. There are three different methods that may be used to wire in-suite audible signal devices in residential occupancies: • Class A wiring (return loop circuit) – 3.2.4.18.(10)(a) Unit 10 Unit 1 Unit 9 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 8 Corridor Unit 7 Unit 4 Unit 6 Unit 5 piezo Typical Floor Plan Ten Units Per Floor Condos, Apartments to FACP

  4. There are three different methods that may be used to wire in-suite audible signal devices in residential occupancies: • Class A wiring (return loop circuit) – 3.2.4.18.(10(a) • Each Unit on a separate circuit – 3.2.4.18.(10)(b) Unit 10 Unit 1 Unit 9 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 8 Corridor Unit 7 Unit 4 Unit 6 Unit 5 piezo Typical Floor Plan Ten Units Per Floor Condos, Apartments to FACP

  5. There are three different methods that may be used to wire in-suite audible signal devices in residential occupancies: • Class A wiring (return loop circuit) – 3.2.4.18.(10(a) • Each Unit on a separate circuit – 3.2.4.18.(10)(b) • Class B wiring c/w isolator modules and E.O.L. resistor in corridor Unit 10 Unit 1 Unit 9 Unit 2 Corridor Unit 3 Unit 8 and Class A wiring between isolators & suite devices – 3.2.4.18.(10)(a) Unit 7 Unit 4 Each audible signal device must be supervised! Isolation Module Unit 6 Unit 5 piezo Typical Floor Plan Ten Units Per Floor Condos, Apartments to FACP

  6. There are three different methods that may be used to wire in-suite audible signal devices in residential occupancies: • Class A wiring (return loop circuit) – 3.2.4.18.(10(a) • Each Unit on a separate circuit – 3.2.4.18.(10)(b) • Class B wiring c/w isolator modules and E.O.L. resistor in both the corridor and between isolators & suite devices Unit 10 Unit 1 UNACCEPTABLE METHOD Unit 9 Unit 2 Unit 2 Corridor Unit 3 Unit 8 Unit 7 Unit 4 UNACCEPTABLE METHOD Audible signal devices are not supervised! (was allowed in previous MBC; is no longer acceptable) Isolation Module Unit 6 Unit 5 piezo Typical Floor Plan Ten Units Per Floor Condos, Apartments to FACP

  7. There are three different methods that may be used to wire in-suite audible signal devices in residential occupancies: Unit 10 Unit 1 1. Class A circuit (return loop circuit) – 3.2.4.18.(10)(a) Unit 9 Unit 2 Unit 2 2. Each Unit on separate circuit – 3.2.4.18.(10)(b) 3. Class B circuit c/w isolator modules & E.O.L. resistor – 3.2.4.18.(10)(a); shown with Class A wiring between isolators & suite devices. Each audible signal device must be supervised! Unit 3 Unit 8 Corridor Unit 7 Unit 4 The corridor audible circuit must be separate from other floors and from the dwelling units as per MBC Clauses 3.2.4.18.(11)(a) & (b). The circuit can be wired as Class A or B. Audible device Unit 6 Unit 5 piezo Typical Floor Plan Ten Units Per Floor Condos, Apartments to FACP
