1.4.6
Interface With Existing Fire Alarm Equipment
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If an addition to an existing system is
required, provide the make, model number, and other
pertinent information on existing components that
are to operate with the new equipment. Since new
interfaces will have to be compatible with the
existing system or to the central fire alarm
reporting system, it may be necessary to edit major
items out of this specification. If a new fire
alarm panel is required, it has to be compatible
with the existing central fire alarm reporting
system.
The existing Fire Alarm equipment must be clearly
identified by the fire alarm system designer in the
specification and on the drawings.
**************************************************************************
The equipment specified herein shall operate as an extension to an existing
configuration. The new equipment shall be connected to [an existing
control panel in the existing part of the building] [existing monitoring
equipment at the Supervising Station (Building [_____])]. Existing
[control] [monitoring] equipment shall be expanded, modified, or
supplemented as necessary to extend the existing [control] [monitoring]
functions to the new points or zones. New components shall be capable of
merging with the existing configuration without degrading the performance
of either system. The scope of the acceptance tests of paragraph Testing
shall include aspects of operation that involve combined use of both new
and existing portions of the final configuration.
1.4.7
Interface With other Equipment
Interfacing components shall be furnished as required to connect to
subsystems or devices which interact with the fire alarm system, such as
supervisory or alarm contacts in suppression systems, operating interfaces
for smoke control systems, door releases, etc.

bases and computer software items that are
identified herein will be accomplished strictly in
accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) and the Department of Defense Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DOD FARS). Those
regulations, as well as the Army and Corps of
Engineers implementations thereof, should also be
