1.4 DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

A. Definitions

1. Alarm Verification Feature: A feature of automatic fire detection and alarm systems
to reduce unwanted alarms wherein smoke detectors report alarm conditions for a
minimum period of time, or confirm alarm conditions within a given time period after
being reset, in order to be accepted as a valid alarm initiation signal.
2. A “ / “ used throughout the text between two consecutive words is equivalent to and
shall be used interchangeably with “ and “.
3. Alarm: A warning of fire danger.
4. Signal: A status indication communicated by electrical or other means.

a. Alarm Signal: A signal indicating an emergency that requires immediate

action, such as a signal indicative of fire.
b. Evacuation Signal: A distinctive signal intended to be recognized by the
occupants as requiring evacuation of the building.
c. Fire Alarm Signal: A signal initiated by a fire alarm-initiating device such as a
manual fire alarm box, automatic fire detector, water-flow switch, or other
device in which activation is indicative of the presence of a fire.
d. Supervisory Signal: A signal indicating the need for action in connection with
the supervision of the fire suppression systems or equipment, or the
maintenance features of related systems.
e. Trouble Signal: A signal initiated by the fire alarm system or device indicative

6. Positive Alarm Sequence. An automatic sequence that results in an alarm signal, even
when manually delayed for investigation, unless the system is reset. It provides a
timed delay of a general alarm signal in a building and at a supervising station. This
gives a trained responder up to 3 minutes to investigate the cause of an alarm signal.
The time limits to acknowledge the alarm signal and reset the system are designed to
assure all alarm system functions are actuated in the event personnel are not available
to acknowledge, investigate and reset the alarm. A positive alarm sequence feature
can only be used with the specific approval of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

A. Seismic Performance: Fire alarm control panel and raceways shall withstand the effects of
earthquake motions determined according to [ASCE/SEI 7] / IBC.

third-level priority. Higher-priority signals take precedence over signals of lower priority,
even when the lower-priority condition occurs first. Annunciate and display all alarm,
supervisory, and trouble signals regardless of priority or order received.

sensors due to environmental effects.

G. All operations shall be according to the approved Cause & Effect Matrix.

H. System Alarm Capability during Circuit Fault Conditions: System wiring, including peer-

circuit, ground or wire-to-wire short occurs, or an open circuit and a ground occur at the
same time in Initiating-Device, Notification-Appliance, and Signaling-Line Circuits.

2.15 FIRE ALARM NETWORK

A. Basic Network Operation: Each MFACP/FACP panel shall have a stand-alone control with
direct communications into network, and shall be defined as a node. Although performing
different functions, each MFACP/FACP serves as a "peer-to-peer" (equal) partner in
controlling network communications. Network information is sequentially transmitted from
one node to another. At each node, the network message is captured and either retransmitted
as received, or modified before retransmission to provide the network with a status update.
The ability of the message to circulate through the network defines the network status and
allows the nodes to respond accordingly. If a node goes "off-line", or if the wires between
nodes experience either a short circuit, an open circuit, or have any other form of
communication problems, the nodes will isolate that section of wiring. Nodes that cannot
retransmit onto the next node of the network will transmit back to the previous node to
maintain communications and to notify the network of the node status. In the event of
multiple wiring problems, the remaining nodes will effectively "regroup" and establish new,
smaller "sub-networks" that will maintain communications among the active nodes.
