Definitions
Wherever mentioned in this specification or on the drawings, the equipment,
devices, and functions shall be defined as follows:
a.
Analog/Addressable System: A system in which multiple signals are
transmitted via the same conduction path to a remote fire alarm
control unit and fire alarm control panel, decoded and separated
so that each signal will initiate the specified response.
b.
Hard Wired System: A system in which alarm and supervisory
initiating devices are directly connected, through individual
dedicated conductors, to a central control panel without the use
of analog/addressable circuits or devices.
c.
Interface Device: An addressable device which interconnects hard
wired systems or devices to an analog/addressable system.
d.
Fire Alarm Control Unit: A control panel, remote from the fire
alarm control panel, that receives inputs from automatic and
manual fire alarm devices; may supply power to detection devices
and interface devices; may provide transfer of power to the
notification appliances; may provide transfer of condition to
relays or devices connected to the control unit; and reports to
and receives signals from the fire alarm control panel.
e.
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP): A master control panel having
