The building code is a bit vague for me, all it says for type R-2 occupancies in section 907.5.2.1 is that audible appliances shall be provided to provide an average sound level of bla bla bla.
Where specifically should I install the audible appliances in the typical dwelling unit?
I know the sleeping rooms yes... common rooms should have audible/visible.. That's about it?
Also, an addressable FA system will be installed. There are individual dwelling units in the bldg and outside the dwelling units there are other boarding type areas with individual sleeping rooms.
So, local smoke detectors will be provided in dwelling units which are programmed to alarm the local dwelling unit notification devices only and send a supervisory signal to FACP. All other boarding type areas including the sleeping rooms within them will be connected to the general fire alarm signal, which upon activation will be programmed to alarm all notification devices in bldg.
Does this sound right?
Thank you for your help!
