Cover of Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance of Fire and Security Systems
This three-part publication complements the design guidance document for fire and security systems (AH 1/92). The first part contains general information common to all systems: project management, wiring, power supplies, alarm signalling, integrated systems, documentation, definitions, and associated checklists. Part Two covers fire detection systems: conventional, addressable and analogue addressable. The installation, commissioning and maintenance of the various system componenets (detectors, call points, sounders and control panels) are descibed. Several sample checklists are included. The security systems in Part Three include intruder alarms, closed circuit television, and access control. All three parts are available as a set as well as a two-part set when part 1 is purchased with either part 2 or part 3.

Cover of Design Guidance in Specifying Fire and Security Systems
A guidance document for designers and users of fire detection systems, internal and external security detection systems, closed circuit television (CCTV) and access control systems. It aims to stimulate good design practice and lead to a decrease in false alarm figures. Sections include statutory requirements, insurance implications and the quality of systems. Design requirements (including those covered by British Standards) cover zoning, siting of detectors and system installation. In a review section the merits and disadvantages of the various systems, detectors and types of communications are discussed. Specific applications for a variety of building uses are given and integrated systems are described.

AH 2/92

Cover of Commissioning of Building and Energy Management System
This is a practical working guide to the commissioning of BEMS (Building and Energy Management Systems) intended to complement the standard specification for BEMS (AH A/90). The need for this publication has arisen because nothing was available and thorough commissioning of a BEMS is vital for it to perform to specification and maximize energy efficiency. The Code of Practice states the need to maximize the off-site checking of BEMS components (software, graphics and control panels) prior to installation. Pre-commissioning checks cover wiring, sensors, actuators and communications. The section on commissioning looks at interlocks, tuning of control loops and alarms. Specific plant examples are given and witnessing and completion tests are covered. The need for good documentation and the use of checklists is stressed, with several sample checklists in the appendices.
