Each recorded event shall include the time and date of that event's occurrence. The system shall have the capability of recalling alarms, trouble conditions, acknowledgements, silencing and reset activities in chronological order for the purpose of recreating an event history.

M. Smoke detectors shall have a smoke density measuring device having no self contained alarm set-point. The alarm decision for each sensor shall be determined by the control panel. The control panel shall determine the condition of each sensor by comparing the sensor value to the stored values. The control panel shall maintain a moving average of the sensors smoke chamber value. Systems that do not automatically maintain a constant smoke obscuration sensitivity for each detector by compensating for environmental factors are deemed not acceptable.

N. An operator at the control panel, having a proper access level, shall have the capability to manually access the following information for each sensor:

1. Primary status.

2. Device type.

1.05 SUPERVISION

A. When a trouble of any nature is detected, an audible trouble signal shall sound at the Fire Alarm

Control Panel until the trouble is corrected or until it is manually silenced. In addition a "System

Trouble" LED shall be illuminated and shall remain "On" until the trouble condition is corrected. A subsequent trouble condition received after manually silencing shall cause the audible trouble signal to "resound". Each independently supervised circuit shall include a discreet LCD readout to indicate disarrangement condition in that circuit.

B. Should a trouble condition be present within the system and the audible trouble signal silenced, the trouble signal shall resound at preprogrammed time intervals to act as reminder that the Fire

Alarm System is not 100% operational. Both the time interval and the trouble reminder signal shall be programmable to suit the Owner's application.

C. The system shall contain independently supervised initiating circuits so that a fault in any one (1) zone shall not affect any other zone. The alarm activation of any initiation circuit shall not prevent the subsequent alarm operation of any other initiation circuit.

D. The alarm indicating device circuits shall be independently supervised and fused so that disarrangement of any circuit shall not affect the operation of the other circuits.

E. The system shall annunciate, at the Control Panel, the following trouble conditions for each addressable point within the system: open, short and device failed/missing. Should a device fail it will not hinder the operation of other system devices.

F. All auxiliary manual controls shall be supervised so that all switches must be returned to the normal automatic position to clear system trouble.

G. The power supply for the system shall be supervised so that loss of the incoming power, a low battery voltage condition or a battery disconnection will cause a trouble condition in the system. A green "power on" LED shall be displayed continuously while incoming power is present.

H. Wiring to the remote annunciator(s) shall be supervised for open and ground conditions.

I. The system shall automatically indicate when an individual sensor needs cleaning. When a sensor's average value reaches a predetermined value, a "Dirty Sensor" trouble condition shall be audibly and visually indicated at the control panel for the individual sensor. Additionally, the LED on the sensor base shall glow steady giving a visible indication at the sensor location. If a "Dirty

Sensor" is left unattended and its average value increases to a second predetermined value, an

"Excessively Dirty Sensor" trouble condition shall be indicated at the control panel for the individual sensor. It shall be possible, at the control panel, to determine if any sensors are "Almost

Dirty" to aid in maintenance of the system.

J. The control panel shall automatically perform a daily self-test on each sensor. Checking the electronics in the sensor's base ensures the accuracy of the values being transmitted to the control panel. A sensor which fails the self-test will cause a "Self Test Abnormal" trouble condition at the control panel. A sensor self-test which must be manually initiated by the operator shall not be acceptable.
