PROTECTED PREMISES CONTROL UNITS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Survey each control unit to ensure that the
necessary "dry" electrical contacts are available
for connection to the radio transmitter; if not, the
control unit must be modified in accordance with the
recommendations of its manufacturer or replaced.
Indicate on drawings which units require
modification or replacement under this contract and
include UFGS-13852, Interior Fire Detection and
Alarm System and/or UFGS-13855, Addressable
Interior Fire Detection and Alarm System, as
appropriate. Consult the EFD/EFA Fire Protection
Engineer for additional guidance as needed.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Edit the following section to provide
connection to fire alarm control units (panels),
suppression system control units, extinguishing
system control units, and fire pump controllers, as
appropriate. If all suppression and extinguishing
system control units are connected to fire alarm
systems in compliance with the applicable NFPA
standards, separate connections between the
suppression/extinguishing system and the radio
transmitter are not required. If fire pump
controllers are connected to fire alarm systems in
such a way that the three separate alarm signals
required by NFPA 20 can be transmitted to the
fire/emergency communication center, separate
connections between the radio transmitter and pump
controller are not required.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Indicate on the drawings the location of each
control unit, how many separate signals (circuits)
are to be connected to the radio transmitter, and
the designation of each circuit as it should be
annunciated at the communication center.
