2. Each zone shall have a red LED to indicate alarm and a yellow or amber LED to indicate a trouble condition. Each zone shall be provided with a disconnect switch to prevent alarms in the zone from initiating the alarm sequence. For trouble-shooting, it shall allow the alarm LED to indicate an alarm condition in the zone. When disconnected, a trouble condition will be indicated in the FACP.

3. Use the following for large buildings with numerous zones:

a. Smoke and thermal detectors shall be located where shown and required by NFPA 72E.

C. INDICATING ZONES:

1. BF board indicating circuits shall be provided. Each circuit shall provide power for polarized alarm signaling and a yellow or amber LED to indicate a trouble condition shall be provided to allow the

FACP to be tested without sounding alarm signals. When disconnected, the FACP shall indicate a trouble condition.

2. Provide supervised outputs to perform the annunciation and control functions as described herein.

Each output shall have a red LED to indicate when the output is energized and a yellow or amber LED to indicate trouble in the circuit.

3. Power sufficient for the FACP and initiating and indicating devices shall be provided. An automatic battery charger shall continuously apply the proper voltage to panel-mounted batteries in order to maintain a fully charged state. Battery charger shall be designed to operate with FACP manufacturer-recommended batteries.

4. Standby batteries of sufficient capacity to provide the indicated operation shall be mounted in FACP.

Batteries shall be maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid type. Battery connections to the power supply/ battery charger shall be fused or provided with equal protection.

5. To assure the ability of the internal batteries to deliver their stated capacity, supervision of the standby batteries shall be provided. Supervision of presence alone will not be acceptable.

6. The panel shall automatically remove the batteries from the panel power supply at no more than 1-minute intervals. A suitable load shall be applied to simulate operating conditions. During this period, no less than three separate battery measurements shall be automatically sampled. If all measurements sampled are at or above the stated battery capacity, the panel shall indicate a “low” battery condition by flashing a separate low battery LED and the Panel Common Trouble LED while sounding a local audible.

7. The low battery indication shall remain until it has been manually acknowledged and the battery capacity has returned to normal levels. When acknowledged, both LEDs shall go to a steady state and the audible will be silenced. The LEDs shall return to OFF when the batteries have returned to a charged state.

8. Removal of the batteries, a blown fuse, or a battery-wiring fault shall cause the same indication as low battery voltage.

2.03 MANUAL FIRE ALARM PULL STATIONS

A. Honeywell Model S464F, or approved equal

B. Provide at each location where shown on the plans a manual fire alarm pull station.

C. The pull station shall be operated by pushing in and pulling down on the handle which activates the normally-open alarm contracts. When activated, the pull station display the word ACTIVATED in bright

2 Feb 2012 Page 4 of 7 Attachment 13 yellow lettering. Resetting shall be accomplished by inserting the key and turning on quarter turn, and opening the front cover, causing the spring-loaded handle to return to its normal position.

2.04 PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR

A. Honeywell-System Sensor Model 2151, or approved equal.

B. Provide at each location where shown on the plans a low voltage, dual chamber, photoelectric type smoke detector.

C. Each detector shall be calibrated and adjusted for sensitivity at the manufacturer’s factory to known standards. Each detector shall be self-compensating for the effects of air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. It shall not be necessary to field-adjust the sensitivity to compensate for the above effects.

D. Each detector shall have provisions to deter unauthorized removal.

E. Each detector shall contain an integral, visual indication of alarm with a field of view of 360 degrees.

Where a remote, external indication is required, the integral indicator shall remain active. An auxiliary relay shall be provided where required for interlock or other auxiliary functions. The relay may be integral to the detector housing or may be remotely mounted, but shall in any event provide a minimum of two isolated spdt (Form C) contacts.

F. Each detector shall have provisions for reset from a central location.

2.05 FIXED TEMPERATURE HEAT DETECTOR

A. Honeywell-Chemetronics Model 600 Series, or approved equal.

B. The Series 600 Heat Detector is attractive, durable and features combination rate-of-rise and fixed temperature operation. Heat detectors are available in 135°F and 200°F

C. temperature ratings. Rate-of-rise detects heat by quickly responding to a rapid

D. temperature increase. Rate-of-rise units have a wide spacing allowance of 50-foot centers. See specification table for details. Fixed temperature reacts to heat by responding to a specific temperature setting.

E. Series 600 Detectors use the same reliable pneumatic rate-of rise element of former models, but offer added aesthetic appeal. The pneumatic rate-of-rise element responds to a rapid rise in temperature, approximately

15°F. (8°C) per minute, by expansion of air within the sealed chamber faster than it can escape through a calibrated vent. The resultant increase in pressure depresses the diaphragm, causing the electrical contact to close the circuit. The fixed temperature element uses a fusible alloy. When activated, the external heat collector drops away to provide quick visual confirmation that the element has operated. The units protrude only 1-3/8 inch from the ceiling surface with a junction box mounting. They have pleasing contours and an

F. all-white finish that conforms to ceiling aesthetics. Each detector includes a patented reversible mounting plate. In one position, it easily attaches to 3.25" or 4" octagonal box, or plaster ring. In reverse, the plate can be used for open wiring without a junction box. A 1/4" space between detector and mounting surface allows for wire connections. All mounting screws are concealed. The detector attaches easily to the mounting plate with a push and twist motion. No tools are required.
