1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION

Fire alarm system components requiring power, except for the FACU(s) and RSCP(s) power supply supplies , must operate on 24 volts DC unless noted otherwise in this section.

The interior fire alarm system must be a complete, supervised, noncoded, analog/addressable fire alarm system conforming to NFPA 20 , NFPA 72 , and UL 864 . Systems meeting UL 2017 only are not acceptable. The system must be activated into the alarm mode by actuation of an alarm initiating device. The system must remain in the alarm mode until the initiating device is reset and the control unit is reset and restored to normal.

[Provide the system with an interconnected riser loop or network having Class [A][X] supervision. Ensure that the return portion of the loop is remote from the supply portion of the loop.][ Where the building has two stairs for egress from floors above grade or floors below grade, ensure that a single impairment cannot adversely affect more than one floor.

Where three or more stairs are provided for egress from floors above grade

SECTION 28 31 70 Page 13 or below grade, ensure that a single impairment cannot adversely affect more than one-half of any floor. ][Ensure that any single impairment of the system does not affect the system on more than [one][one-half] of any floor.]

1.6.1 Alarm Initiating Devices and Notification Appliances (Visual, Audible)

a. Connect alarm initiating devices to initiating device circuits (IDC) [Class "A"] [ Class "B" ] , or to signaling line circuits (SLC) Class ["A"] [ "B" ]["X"] and installed in accordance with NFPA 72 , except IDC and SLC circuits for the RSCP(s) shall be Class "A" .

b. Connect notification appliances to notification appliance circuits (NAC) [Class "A] [ Class "B" ] .

1.6.2 Functions and Operating Features

The system must provide the following functions and operating features:

a. Power, annunciation, supervision, and control for the system.

Addressable systems must be microcomputer (microprocessor or microcontroller) based with a minimum word size of eight bits with sufficient memory to perform as specified.

b. Visual alarm notification appliances must be synchronized as required by NFPA 72 .

c. Electrical supervision of the primary power (AC) supply, presence of the battery, battery voltage, and placement of system modules within the control unit.

d. An audible and visual trouble signal to activate upon a single break or open condition, or ground fault [ (or short circuit for Class "X")] .

The trouble signal must also operate upon loss of primary power (AC) supply, absence of a battery supply, low battery voltage, or removal of alarm or supervisory control unit modules. After the system returns to normal operating conditions, the trouble signal must again sound until the trouble is acknowledged. A smoke detector in the process of being verified for the actual presence of smoke must not initiate a trouble condition.

e. A trouble signal silence feature that must silence the audible trouble signal, without affecting the visual indicator.

f. Program capability via switches in a locked portion of the FACU to bypass the automatic notification appliance circuits, [ fire reporting system ][air handler shutdown] [smoke control operation] [elevator recall] [door release] [door unlocking] features. Operation of this programmed action must indicate on the FACU display [ and printer output] as a supervisory or trouble condition. [ Notification appliance bypass must be selectable by floor.]

g. Alarm functions must override trouble or supervisory functions.

Supervisory functions must override trouble functions.

h. The system must be capable of being programmed from the control unit keyboard. Programmed information must be stored in non-volatile memory.

SECTION 28 31 70 Page 14

i. The system must be capable of operating, supervising, and/or monitoring non-addressable alarm and supervisory devices.

j. There must be no limit, other than maximum system capacity, as to the number of addressable devices that may be in alarm simultaneously.

k. Where the fire alarm system is responsible for initiating an action in another emergency control device or system, such as HVAC or lighting, [HVAC, ][atrium exhaust, ][smoke control, ][elevator recall, ][releasing service, ] the addressable fire alarm relay must be located in the vicinity of the emergency control device.

l. An alarm signal must automatically initiate the following functions (in addition to the functions identified on the control matrices) :

(1) Transmission of an alarm signal to [ the fire department ][a remote supervising station] .

(2) Visual indication of the device operated on the FACU and RSCP , [Video Display unit (VDU),] [ and on the [ graphic ][remote ] annunciator ] . [ Indication on the graphic annunciator must be by floor, zone or circuit, and type of device.]

[(3) Record the event on the system printer.]

(4) Actuation of alarm notification appliances.

(5) Recording of the event electronically in the history log of the

FACU.

(6) Select actions also report to the building DDC system.

[(6) Release of doors held open by electromagnetic devices.]

[(7) Operation of the [smoke control system][atrium exhaust system].]

[(8) Release of power to electric locks (delayed egress locks) on doors that are part of the means of egress.]

[(9) Elevator recall as described in this section.]
