signal to the system control panel for a factory preset period. This
interruption period shall be adjustable from 1 to 60 seconds and be
factory set at [20] [_____] seconds. Immediately following the
interruption period, a confirmation period shall be in effect during
which time an alarm signal, if present, will be sent immediately to the
control panel. Fire alarm devices, other than smoke detectors, will be
prohibited on circuits controlled by confirmation or verification
modules.
i. The fire alarm control panel shall provide supervised relays for
HVAC shutdown. An override at the HVAC panel shall not be provided.
j. Provide one person test mode - Activating an initiating device in
this mode will activate an alarm for a short period of time, then
automatically reset the alarm, without activating the transmitter
during the entire process.
k. The fire alarm control panel shall provide the required monitoring
and supervised control outputs needed to accomplish elevator recall.
l. The fire alarm control panel shall provide the required modules to
monitor and control the fire sprinkler system, or other fire protection
extinguishing system.
m. Zones for alarm IDC and NAC shall be [arranged as indicated on the
contract drawings.] [as follows: [_____]]
n. The fire alarm control panel shall be readily capable of future
expansion and modification by qualified technicians. Examples of
required changes are: adding or deleting devices or zones; changing
system responses to particular input signals; programming certain input
signals to activate auxiliary devices.

Alarm Functions
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Check with the local fire department to
determine which signal or signals are to be

transmitter should be zoned as required by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
The designer will list zones and indicate the exact
wording of the descriptive zone labeling.
Functions e., f., g., and h. below are optional
depending on the job conditions.
**************************************************************************
An alarm condition on a circuit shall automatically initiate the following
functions:
a. Transmission of [a signal] [signals] over the station [telephonic]
[telegraphic] [radio] fire reporting system. [The signal shall be
common for all zones] [The signals shall be different for each zone].
b. Visual indications of the alarmed [zone] [zones] on the fire alarm
