01 What to verify first
- The protected space, critical equipment and detection objective in project documents
- Room airflow, ventilation and environmental conditions supplied by the facility
- Required alarm, supervisory and shutdown interfaces
02 Information to prepare
- Room plans, sections, equipment layouts and ventilation information
- Existing detector, panel, sampling-pipe and interface records
- Access constraints, contamination concerns and operating schedules
03 Decision factors
- The approved detection strategy and required response sequence
- Sampling-network access, maintainability and environmental suitability
- Integration with the building FDAS and operational procedures
04 Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing aspirating detection from room type alone
- Ignoring airflow and environmental information
- Treating sampling-pipe routing as ordinary pipe layout
