[2.2.15.1
Annunciator Panel
Provide a graphic annunciator which indicates the building floor plan,
including the locations of stairs and elevators. Stairs and elevators
shall be identified by [letter] [number]. Alarm circuit boundaries shall
be clearly marked on the floor plan. Annunciator shall include a north
arrow, [location of the fire alarm control panel,] and a "you are here"
indicator. The graphic annunciator shall be [a minimum size of 915 by 915
mm 3 by 3 feet] [as indicated on the contract drawings].
][2.2.15.2
Indicating Lights
Provide the graphic annunciator with individual light emitting diode (LED)
indicating lights for each type of alarm and supervisory device. Provide
an amber LED for indicating a system trouble condition and a separate amber
LED for indicating a supervisory condition. Provide a green LED to
indicate presence of power and a red LED to indicate an alarm condition.
The actuation of any alarm signal shall cause the illumination of a
boundary LED, a floor LED, and a device LED. System supervisory or trouble
shall cause the illumination of a trouble LED. In addition to all of these
LED indicators, provide normal power and emergency power indicating LEDs.
Provide a push button LED test switch. The test switch shall not require
key operation. Annunciator LEDs shall only be extinguished by operation of
the system reset switch on the FACP.

System Printers
a.
Provide a system printer to record alarm, supervisory, and trouble
conditions without loss of any signal or signals. Printout shall
be by circuit, device, and function as provided in the FACP.
Printer shall operate on a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power supply.
(1) The printer shall have at least 80 characters per line and
have a 96 ASCII character set. The printer shall have a
microprocessor-controlled, bi-directional, logic seeking head
capable of printing 120 characters per second utilizing a 9 by 7
dot matrix print head. Printer shall not contain internal
software which is essential for proper operation.
