microprocessor controlled fire and emergency voice alarm communication system shall be installed in accordance the specifications and as indicated on the Drawings Each Signaling Line Circuit SLC and Notification Appliance Circuit NAC Limited to only 80 of its total capacity during initial installation Basic Performance Network Communications Circuit NetSOLO Serving Network Nodes Wired using single non shielded 2 conductor cable or connected using approved fiber optic cable nodes in Class A configuration NFPA Style 7 Line Circuits SLC Serving Addressable Devices Wired Style 6 Class A Device Circuits IDC Serving Non addressable Devices Connected to Monitor Modules Wired Class A NFPA Style D Notification Appliance Circuits NAC Serving Strobes and Speakers Wired Class A Style Z Series Fire Alarm System 28 31 00 2 Rev A On Style 6 or 7 Class A Configurations Single ground fault or open circuit on Signaling Circuit shall not cause system malfunction loss of operating power or ability to report Signals Arriving at INCC COMMAND CENTER Not be lost following primary power until alarm signal is processed and recorded Operate in peer to peer fashion with other panels and transponders in system Each transponder shall store copy of audio evacuation messages and tones that use centralized message storage and control at main fire alarm control shall not be acceptable Network Node Communications Audio Evacuation Channels and Fire Phone Communicated between panels and transponders on single pair of copper wires or optic cables enhance system survivability ability to operate on loss of INCC Command short or open of entire riser at INCC Command Center shall be at time of system acceptance testing that are not capable of providing true Style 7 performance for fire fighter communications shall not be acceptable Line Circuits SLC Reside in remote transponders with associated audio zones SLC modules shall operate in peer to peer fashion with all other panels and in system On loss of INCC Command Center each transponder shall continue to communicate remainder of system including all SLC functions and audio messages located in transponders Systems that provide a mode of operation upon loss of INCC Command or short in riser shall not be acceptable Audio Amplifiers and Tone Generating Equipment Electrically supervised for normal and conditions Amplifiers Located in transponder cabinets serving no more that 3 floors per transponder enhance system survivability reduce required riser wiring simplify installation and power losses in length of speaker circuits Speaker NAC Circuits Arranged such that there is a minimum of 1 speaker circuit per fire zone Notification Appliance Circuits NAC Speaker Circuits and Control Equipment Arranged that loss of any 1 speaker circuit will not cause loss of any other speaker circuit in Speaker Circuits Electrically supervised for open and short circuit conditions short circuit exists on speaker circuit it shall not be possible to activate that circuit for 25 VRMS and shall be power limited in accordance with NECd 20 spare capacity for future expansion or increased power output requirements Speaker Circuits and Control Equipment Arranged such that loss of any 1 speaker circuit will not cause loss of any other circuit in system Systems utilizing audio configurations shall not be acceptable 2 Way Telephone Communication Circuits Supervised for open and short circuit conditions Series Fire Alarm System 28 31 00 3 Rev A Short circuit condition on 2 way telephone communications circuit shall result in condition and not result in call in condition Voice Communication Connect telephone circuits to speaker circuits to allow voice communication over circuit from telephone handset Capable of remote phone to phone conversations and party line communications as Basic System Functional Operation When fire alarm condition is detected and reported by 1 of system alarm initiating devices the following functions shall immediately occur Alarm LEDs Flash Piezo Electric Signal in Control Panel Sound at a pulse rate LCD Display Indicate all information associated with fire alarm condition type of alarm point and its location within protected premises Historical Log Record information associated with fire alarm control panel condition with time and date of occurrence output programs assigned via control by event equations to be activated by point in alarm shall be executed and the associated system outputs alarm appliances and or relays shall be activated Portion of System Sound 3 rounds of slow whoop tone followed by voice message and this scenario repeating or other message as approved by local until system is reset Fire Alarm System Functionality complete electrically supervised
