data to determined the required RF power level; this
may require a site visit.
**************************************************************************
The radio frequency (RF) power output of each transmitter shall be
sufficient for reliable alarm reporting. The minimum RF power output shall
be [1] [_____] watt.
2.1.3.4
Memory
Transmitters shall have memory capability. Multiple, simultaneous alarms
shall not result in the loss of any messages. Messages shall be stored
until they are transmitted.
2.1.3.5
Transmission Confirmation
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use with fire alarm boxes only.
**************************************************************************
When a signal is initiated at a public box (push button or pull lever), the
transmitter shall produce an audible or visual indication that the
transmitter is operating and that a signal is being sent.
2.1.3.6
Transmitter Identity Code
Each transmitter shall transmit a distinct identity code number as part of
all signals emanating from the transmitter. The identity code shall allow
for no less than a [_____] digit code selection and be transmitted not less
than three complete rounds (cycles).
2.1.3.7
Message Designations
Each transmitter shall allow as a minimum no less than 10 [_____] distinct
and individually identifiable message designations as to the types or
causes of transmitter actuation.
a.
Master Message: Master messages shall be transmitted upon
automatic actuation of the transmitter. The building and zone
causing actuation shall be individually identified as part of this
transmission. The transmitter shall be capable of identifying and
transmitting a minimum of [_____] master (zone) messages.
b.
Test Message: Test message shall be capable of both manual and
automatic actuation. When a transceiver method is employed, it
shall provide for automatic interrogation at preselected periods
or continuous automatic interrogation in accordance with the
governing standard. Additionally, transceiver systems shall
provide for selective interrogation at times determined by the
user. Testing the automatic test actuation shall occur a minimum
of once in each [24-] [_____] hour period, at an optionally
preselected time. Stability of the electronic actuating device
shall be plus or minus 1 minute per month within the temperature
range stipulated for system operation. Actuation of the "Test"
message designation, regardless of initiating means, shall cause
no less than 1 complete message to be sent.
c.
Tamper Message Designation: The tamper message shall be
automatically transmitted when a tamper switch is tripped in the
