2.02 Functional Description of the System

A. The system shall include new control/communications equipment which is UL Listed to operate with the submitted smoke detectors, heat detectors, interface modules, and notification appliances. The system shall transmit signals to the Campus-Wide Proprietary Supervisory Signaling System, alert building occupants using audible and visible notification appliances, supervise each system for conditions which would impair proper system operation, annunciate such abnormal conditions, and where applicable, control related equipment as indicated on contract documents such as door closure, smoke damper closure, and air handling unit shutdown. All buildings shall have a cellular dialer installed that will transmit alarm, trouble, and supervisory signals to a Starlink Cellular Communicator and Network Display Unit (NDU) located in building 501. Upon receipt of signals to Building 501, transmission of signals shall be sent to a remote central monitoring station.

B. Alarm Condition

1. The system operation shall be such that the alarm operation of any alarm initiating device shall not prevent the subsequent alarm operation of any other initiating device due to wiring or power limitations.

2. The system alarm operation subsequent to the alarm activation of any system-type automatic detection device (smoke detector or heat detector), manual pull stations, or sprinkler waterflow switch shall automatically perform the functions contained in this section and operate as follows:

a. All audible notification appliances in the corresponding building, as designated on the drawings, shall initiate the alarm evacuation sequence.

1) Throughout the building, the horns shall broadcast an alert tone, transmitting the temporal code 3 National Evacuation Signal.

b. All visible (strobe) notification appliances shall flash in synchronization throughout the corresponding building.

3. FACU Indication

a. Alarm conditions shall be immediately displayed on the control unit alphanumeric display and on all remote alarm annunciators, as shown on the drawings, indicating all information associated with the fire alarm condition including type of device, its location and the time and date of activation. The red “ALARM” LED shall flash on the control unit until the alarm has been acknowledged. Once acknowledged, this same LED shall latch on. A subsequent alarm received from another initiating device after acknowledgment shall flash the alarm LED on the control unit and the display shall show the new alarm information.

b. During an alarm condition, a pulsing alarm tone shall sound within the control unit until the alarm is acknowledged.

c. If the audible alarm signals are silenced for any reason, they shall automatically resound if another initiating device is actuated.

d. Visual notification appliances shall be deactivated whenever audible notification appliances are silenced.

e. When the alarm signals are silenced by pressing the “ACKNOWLEDGE” push-button on the control module, the control unit LED’s shall continue to flash until the alarm is reset at the control unit.

4. Auxiliary Functions

Lubbock THHS 24-119-LBL April 30, 2026 28 3100-10 of 27

a. Where applicable, all auxiliary functions shall be connected to and operated by the control unit.

b. HVAC Fan Units

1) Any active fire alarm signal shall cause shut down all fan units within the building in accordance with Texas Administrative Code Title 40 Part 1 Chapter 90 Subchapter D, Rule §90.65(C)(1)(B).

c. Smoke Damper Controls

1) Any active fire alarm signal shall cause closure of all smoke dampers within the building in accordance with Texas Administrative Code Title 40 Part 1 Chapter 90 Subchapter D, Rule §90.65(C)(1)(C). Smoke damper actuation is required to comply with NFPA 90A. Duct detectors shall be located within 5-feet of the smoke damper served or an array of spoke-type smoke detectors shall be used in accordance with NFPA 72 when a duct is not available. Duct detector sampling tubes shall not be permitted outside of ducts. An override switch control shall be installed in the FACU to allow the fire department to return the smoke dampers to their normal condition.

d. Magnetically Held-Open Doors

1) Any active fire alarm signal shall cause the release of all doors held open by magnetic hold-open devices throughout the building in accordance with Texas Administrative Code Title 40 Part 1 Chapter 90 Subchapter D, Rule §90.65(C)(1)(A)).

C. Supervisory Condition

1. The control unit shall have a “SYSTEM SUPERVISORY” LED and a supervisory signal “ACKNOWLEDGE” switch.

2. When a supervisory condition is detected, the following functions shall immediately occur:

a. The “SYSTEM SUPERVISORY” LED shall flash.

b. A pulsing alarm tone in the control unit shall sound.

c. The display shall indicate all information associated with the supervisory condition, including device, its location within the protected premises, and the time and date of that activation.

d. If more supervisory signals are in the system, the operator shall be able to scroll the display to view new signals.

e. All system output programs assigned via control-by-event equations to be activated by the particular point in trouble shall be executed, and the associated system outputs (Supervisory Notification Appliances and/or relays) shall be activated.

3. Unacknowledged alarm messages shall have priority over supervisory messages, and if an Alarm occurs during a supervisory sequence, the Alarm condition shall have display priority.

4. Activating the supervisory “ACKNOWLEDGE” switch shall silence the audible signal while maintaining an LED on, indicating the supervisory condition is still in the off-normal state.

5. Restoring the valve or supervisory contact to the normal position shall cause the supervisory service audible signal to pulse thus indicating restoration to normal position. Activating the “ACKNOWLEDGE” switch shall silence the audible signal and restore the system to normal.

Lubbock THHS 24-119-LBL April 30, 2026 28 3100-11 of 27

6. The activation of any standpipe or sprinkler tamper switch shall activate an audible supervisory signal and illuminate the supervisory LED at the control unit.

D. Trouble Condition

1. When a trouble condition is detected, the following functions shall immediately occur:

a. An amber “SYSTEM TROUBLE” LED shall light and the system audible signal shall steadily sound when any trouble is detected in the system. Failure of normal power, opens or short circuits on the signaling line circuits or the notification appliance circuits, disarrangements in system wiring, failure of the microprocessor or any identification module, or system ground faults shall activate this trouble circuit.

b. A trouble signal may be acknowledged by actuating the “ACKNOWLEDGE” switch. This shall silence the control unit trouble buzzer. If additional trouble conditions occur, the trouble circuitry shall resound.

c. During an “alarm” condition, all “trouble” signals shall be suppressed with the exception of lighting the amber “COMMON TROUBLE” LED steadily.

d. The display shall indicate all information associated with the trouble condition, including type of trouble point, its location within the protected premises, and the time and date of that activation.

e. All system output programs assigned via control-by-event equations to be activated by the particular point in trouble shall be executed, and the associated System Outputs (Trouble Notification Appliances and/or relays) shall be activated.

2. Unacknowledged alarm messages shall have priority over trouble messages, and if such an
