device number. Indicate connection of equipment by
circuit runs, or conduit runs.
3. In larger facilities, or systems with multiple
types of devices and interfacing to other systems,
it is recommended that a fire alarm operating matrix
be placed on the drawings. Show actions of input
devices (detectors, manual initiators, water flow
contacts, etc.) on one axis and output devices
(bells, door releases, smoke control fans, elevator
relays, etc.) on the other. Entries which require
descriptions, explanation of processes, sequences,
interfaces, etc. can be flagged by symbols keyed to
supplementary notes. Alternately provide a
zone-by-zone sequence of operation or a schedule
identifying all initiators, outputs, and interfaces.
4. IDC should be provided for interfacing to
existing IDC loops. IDC will be provided for
special requirements. Normally all devices are
addressable or will have an addressable interface
device installed integrally with the device.
