D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. Fire Alarm System: A complete, supervised, power-limited, fire detection and evacuation system.
2. All equipment herein specified is that of FireLite Alarms as manufactured by Honeywell and
supplied by a National Account Vendor, this depicts the type and quality of the equipment to be
furnished. Refer to Submittals, Products/Manufacturers, and Products/Substitutions sections in
this specification for further information and qualifications
3. System Supervision: The fire protective signaling system shall be an electrically supervised
system which shall monitor the integrity of circuit conductors and power supplies. Remote
annunciator LEDs and associated wiring and remote emergency control wiring shall be
supervised; whereas, an open condition in the circuit shall cause a trouble indication at the
control panel.
4. The fire alarm control panel shall allow for loading or editing special instructions and operating
sequences as required. The system is to be capable of on-site programming to accommodate
facility expansion, building parameter changes, or changes as required by local codes. All
software operations are to be stored in a non-volatile, programmable memory resident within the
fire alarm control panel. Loss of primary and secondary power shall not erase the instructions
stored in memory.
5. The ability for selective input/output control functions based on ANDing, ORing, NOTing, and
special coded operations is to also be incorporated in the resident software programming of the
system.
6. To accommodate and facilitate job site changes, initiation circuits shall be individually
configurable on-site to provide either alarm/trouble operation, alarm only, trouble only, current
limited alarm, no alarm, normally closed device monitoring, a non-latching circuit, or a alarm
verification circuit.
7. The control panel shall provide a minimum of 4 amps of power for notification appliances and
auxiliary devices. Provisions shall be available for expanding the standard power to provide an
additional 5 amps of power for notification appliances and auxiliary devices.
1.02 MANUFACTURERS
A. The fire alarm system specified is manufactured by Firelite Alarms. Catalog and model numbers are
intended to establish the type and quality of equipment and system design as well as exact operating
features required, there are no substitutions permitted. The manufacturer's specification sheets of
each item so listed shall be considered to be part of the specification and binding therein.
B. OPERATION
1. Under normal condition, the front panel shall display a "SYSTEM NORMAL" message and the
current time and date.
2. Should an abnormal condition be detected, the appropriate LED (Alarm, Supervisory, or Trouble)
shall flash. The panel audible signal shall pulse for alarm conditions and sound steadily for
trouble and supervisory conditions.
3. The following three characteristics relative to an abnormal condition shall be displayed
simultaneously in alphanumeric format. Information shall include:
4. Custom location label (80 characters minimum).
5. Type of device (i.e. smoke, pull station, waterflow).
6. Status (i.e. alarm, trouble).
7. Pressing the appropriate acknowledge button shall acknowledge the alarm or trouble condition.
The acknowledge functions may be passcode protected if the user has insufficient privilege to
acknowledge such conditions. A message shall indicate insufficient privilege but allow the user to
view the points without acknowledging them. Should the user have sufficient privilege to
acknowledge, a message shall be displayed informing the user that the condition has been
acknowledged.
8. Systems not capable of password protected manual command operations shall provide key
operated switches for these functions. Function key switches shall be keyed differently from any
other keyed switches or locks used within the system.
