Loss of power: Alarm signals arriving at the main FACP shall not be lost following a power <br />failure (or outage) until the alarm signal is processed and recorded. <br />5. The system shall have multiple access levels so owner's authorized personnel can disable <br />individual alarm inputs or normal system responses (outputs) for alarms, without changing <br />the system's executive programming or affecting operation of the rest of the system. The <br />process on how to do this must be included in the training required to be given to the <br />owner's designated personnel, and must also be part of the written documentation <br />provided by the fire alarm equipment supplier. <br />E. System Response Conditions. <br />1. Alarm Condition - When a fire alarm condition is detected and reported by one of the <br />system initiating devices, the following functions shall immediately occur: <br />a. The system alarm LED shall flash. <br />b. A local piezo-electric signal in the control panel shall sound. <br />c. LCD display shall indicate all information associated with the fire alarm condition, <br />including the type of alarm point and its location. <br />d. On systems equipped with a printer, printing and history storage shall log the <br />information associated with each new fire alarm signal, along with the time and date <br />of occurrence. <br />e. All system outputs assigned via control-by-event equations to be activated by a <br />particular point shall be executed. <br />f. Activate all fire alarm Notification Appliances. <br />g. Activate IP digital alarm communicator. <br />h. Deactivate all door hold control relays. <br />i. Activate control relays to initiate AHU shutdown. <br />j. In buildings with elevators, activate elevator recall sequence when elevator initiating <br />device is activated. <br />2. Trouble or Supervisory Condition - When a trouble condition is detected the following <br />stipulations apply: <br />a. System AC power trouble shall not be sent unless maintained for 3 hours or more. <br />Provide additional relays as required for this purpose. <br />b. Provide adjustable time delay for all other trouble signals prior to transmission. <br />c. Supervise all initiating, signaling, and notification circuits throughout the facility by way <br />of monitor and control modules. <br />d. Visually and audibly annunciate any trouble, supervisory condition on operator's <br />terminals, panel display, and annunciators. <br />F. Operators Control: Provide an operators interface which allows the following minimum <br />functions. In addition, the operators interface shall support any other functions required for <br />system control and/or operation: <br />1. Acknowledge (ACK/STEP) Switch <br />2. Signal Silence Switch <br />3. Alarm Silence Switch <br />4. System Reset Switch <br />5. System Test Switch <br />6. Lamp Test Switch <br />7. Elevator Recall Override Switch. <br />8. AHU Shutdown Override Switch. <br />G. Display: The system display shall provide all the controls and indicators used by the system <br />operator and may also be used to program all system operational parameters. The display <br />assembly shall contain, and display as required, custom alphanumeric labels for all intelligent <br />detectors, addressable modules, and software zones. <br />1. The system display shall provide an 80 minimum-character back-lit alphanumeric Liquid <br />Crystal Display (LCD). <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: ECCAC5A0-6CC8-4B37-8AD3-89D69F0AE1AE
