So far the following is what has been sent in writing.

        NFPA 72   4.4.5  Smoke detector shall be in vicinity of FACP.

        Plans shall clearly indicate locations of Horn/Strobes w/ decibel
level and light levels for         each.

        NFPA 72  4.4.1.4.2.3  Location of circuit disconnect means shall be
permanently
        identified at the FACP and shall be indicated on the plans.

        If fire alarm is not monitored signage in compliance with Section
907.4.4 of the 2003         International Fire Code shall be provided at
each manual pull station.

Presently working on drawings, design and parts list for proposal.

Once I get a little further I will contact AHJ to see if what I am proposing
will fit his cup of tea.  I think it will be just fine if it is done right.
One of the big hurdles was finding the smoke that would meet the desired
effect.  Most DC detectors that I have used "latch" until a power reset.
The auto reset is a new thought for me.

As for power to the smoke for the rooms, it would seem to me that if the
smoke loop has an End of Line Relay that is connected to a supervisory zone
it should work just fine.

Anything I am missing here??

Thanks again, very helpful.
