protected premises control unit must have at least
one common normally open (closes on alarm) dry alarm
contact available for use. If it is desired to
transmit protected premises supervisory and/or
trouble signals, then the control unit requires
additional common trouble or supervisory output dry
contacts. In cases where it may be desirable to
transmit distinct alarm signals per zone, or per
group of initiating devices, the control unit will
need individual zone output dry alarm contacts or
programmable output dry contacts. In some cases it
may be necessary to modify existing control units
by installing additional output modules supplied by
the manufacturer of the control unit. If
modification of existing control units is not
possible due to non-availability of the necessary
modules or lack of space within the panel,
replacement with new control units in order to
provide the necessary dry alarm contacts will be
required. For installation of new control units for
conventional systems, include Section 13852,
"Interior Fire Detection and Alarm System." For
installation of new control units for addressable
systems, include Section 13855, "Analog Addressable
Interior Fire Detection and Alarm System". For
additional guidance, consult the NAVFAC EFD/EFA Fire
Protection Engineer having jurisdiction.

SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary
for adequate quality control. The importance of an
item in the project should be one of the primary
factors in determining if a submittal for the item
should be required.
A "G" following a submittal item indicates that the
submittal requires Government approval. Some
submittals are already marked with a "G". Only
delete an existing "G" if the submittal item is not
complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor's
Quality Control system. Only add a "G" if the
