CONTROL PANEL
Control panel shall comply with the applicable requirements of UL 864.
Panel shall be modular, installed in a [flush] [surface] [semi-flush]
mounted steel cabinet with hinged door and cylinder lock. Control panel
shall be a clean, uncluttered, and orderly assembled panel containing
components and equipment required to provide the specified operating and
supervisory functions of the system. The panel shall have prominent rigid
plastic, phenolic or metal identification plates for LEDs, zones, controls,
meters, fuses, and switches. Nameplates for fuses shall also include
ampere rating. Separate alarm and trouble LEDs shall be provided for each
zone alarm. These LEDs shall be located on the exterior of the cabinet
door or be visible through the cabinet door. Control panel switches shall
be within the locked cabinet. A suitable means (single operation) shall be
provided for testing the control panel visual indicating devices (meters or
LEDs). Meters and LEDs shall be plainly visible when the cabinet door is
closed. Signals and LEDs shall be provided to indicate by zone any alarm,
supervisory or trouble condition on the system. Each IDC shall be powered
and supervised so that a signal on one zone does not prevent the receipt of
signals from other zones. Loss of power, including batteries, shall not
require the reloading of a program. Upon restoration of power, startup
shall be automatic, and shall not require any manual operation. The loss
of primary power or the sequence of applying primary or emergency power
shall not affect the transmission of alarm, supervisory or trouble signals.
Visual annunciators shall be provided for each active zone and spare zone.
[_____] spare zones shall be provided [as shown on the drawing]. Each LED
shall provide specific identification of the zone by means of a permanently
attached rigid plastic, phenolic, or metal sign with either raised or
engraved letters. Zone identification shall consist of a word description
of the zone. Cabinets shall be provided with ample gutter space to allow
proper clearance between the cabinet and live parts of the panel equipment.
If more than one modular unit is required to form a control panel, the
units shall be installed in a single cabinet large enough to accommodate
units. Cabinets shall be painted [red] [beige] [_____].
