Operation
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Shutdown of mechanical (HVAC) systems must be
carefully coordinated between this section and
mechanical sections. The designer must choose
whether to shut down all HVAC systems upon operation
of the alarm system or to shut down individual HVAC
units separately when smoke is detected in each
unit's ductwork. Shutdown of all HVAC systems upon
any alarm is desirable from a life safety
standpoint, but may not be practical in all cases.
Consult with the EFA/EFD Fire Protection Engineer
for guidance. To shut down all HVAC units from the
fire alarm control panel retain the reference to
HVAC equipment shutdown in paragraph titled
"Operation" and delete reference to shutdown in
paragraph titled "Duct Smoke Detectors". If it is
desired to shutdown systems on an individual unit
basis, delete the reference to HVAC equipment
shutdown in paragraph titled "Operation", and retain
the reference to shutdown in paragraph titled "Duct
Smoke Detectors".
**************************************************************************
Provide a complete, electrically supervised, code 3 temporal common coded,
manual [and automatic,] zoned, annunciated, fire alarm system as described
herein, and as shown on the drawings. Provide separate circuits from the
control panel to each zone of initiating devices as specified herein.
Transmission of signals from more than one zone over a common circuit to
the control panel is prohibited.
