One-Sheet Fire Alarm Riser in AutoCAD for a High School Campus, California
For a high school fire alarm replacement, we fit the whole campus riser on one AutoCAD sheet, with a single companion sheet for battery and voltage drop calculations.
1 riser sheet
for the whole campus
10 SLC loops
with voice evacuation
1 calc sheet
battery and voltage drop
The challenge
Not every campus needs a multi-sheet riser. Here the goal was to show the full system for five buildings and a portable on one sheet without losing clarity.
What we delivered
- Laid out the panel, voice command, ten signaling line loops and amplifier and power supply pairs on one riser sheet.
- Added the cable legend, remote microphone, annunciator and communicator connections.
- Produced the battery and voltage drop calculation sheet for visual and audible circuits.
- Picked up the client’s redlines and reissued.
The result
One riser sheet and one calculation sheet covered the whole campus, keeping the set compact and easy to review.
