2.3 GENERAL EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

A. The Voice Notification System shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 72 for Emergency Voice/Alarm Communications System requirements ISO 7240-16, IEC 60268-16, except as spec-ified herein. The system shall be a one-way single-channel voice notification system incorporating user selectability of a minimum 8 distinct sounds for tone signaling, and the incorporation of a voice module for delivery of prerecorded messages. The visual strobes and audible message shall automatically be broadcast on the floor of fire alarm origin, [the floor][two floors] immediately above the floor of fire alarm origin, and the floor immediately below the floor of fire alarm origin. A live voice message shall override the automatic audible output through use of a microphone input at the control panel.

The system shall be capable of operating all speakers at the same time. The digitalized voice message shall consist of a non-volatile (EPROM) microprocessor based input to the amplifiers. The microprocessor shall actively interrogate circuitry, field wiring, and dig-ital coding necessary for the immediate and accurate rebroadcasting of the stored voice data into the appropriate amplifier input. Loss of operating power, supervisory power, or any other malfunction that could render the digitalized voice module inoperative shall au-tomatically cause the fire alarm tone to take over all functions assigned to the failed unit.

2. The Mass Notification functions shall override the manual or automatic fire alarm notifica-tion functions.
