[70, : 100 ] (SIG-FUN) Submitter Full Name: Lee Richardson Submittal Date: Thu Aug 28 08:41:52 EDT 2014 NOTICE: This is a Second Revision developed by Staff for editorial purposes so that the extract definition from the NEC is up to date with the definition in the 2014 edition of the NEC. review has been deemed advisable and the Second Revision is being processed in accordance with section of the Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards.
2 of 1 9/22/2014 1:39 PM Second Revision No. 54-NFPA [ Section No ] Alarm. An indication of the existence of a condition that requires immediate action response. (SIG-FUN) Submittal Date: Thu Jul 03 13:50:43 EDT 2014 Change "action" to "response" to be consistent with the defined condition-signalresponse model adopted in the 2013 edition. We need to cascade the use of these three terms throughout the code. Public Comment No. 30-NFPA [Section No ]
3 of 1 9/22/2014 1:39 PM Second Revision No. 55-NFPA [ Section No [Excluding any Sub-Sections] ] * Impairment. An abnormal condition, of during either a planned or emergency event, where a system, component, or function is inoperable. (SIG-FUN) Submittal Date: Thu Jul 03 14:06:33 EDT 2014 : Editorial correction. Public Comment No. 34-NFPA [Section No [Excluding any Sub-Sections]]
4 of 1 9/22/2014 1:40 PM Second Revision No. 58-NFPA [ Section No ] The requirements of other chapters shall also apply unless they are in conflict with Chapters 10, 12, 14, 17, 18, 21, 23, 24, 26, and 27 shall apply unless otherwise noted in this chapter. Submittal Date: Thu Jul 03 14:33:56 EDT 2014 The section was revised to avoid the term "conflicts", since the code should not contain conflicts. Public Comment No. 88-NFPA [Section No ]
5 of 2 9/22/2014 1:40 PM Second Revision No. 59-NFPA [ Section No ] 7.2.1* Where documentation is required by the authority having jurisdiction, the following list shall represent the minimum documentation required for new fire alarm systems, supervising station and shared communication equipment, and emergency communications systems, including new systems and additions or alterations to existing systems: (1)* Written narrative providing intent and system description (2) Riser diagram (3) Floor plan layout showing locations of all devices, control equipment, and supervising station and shared communications equipment with each sheet showing the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) Point of compass (north arrow) A graphic representation of the scale used Room use identification Building features that will affect the placement of initiating devices and notification appliances (4) Sequence of operation in either an input/output matrix or narrative form (5) Equipment technical data sheets (6) Manufacturers published instructions, including operation and maintenance instructions (7) Battery capacity and de-rating calculations (where batteries are provided) (8) Voltage drop calculations for notification appliance circuits Power loss db calculations for amplifier notification appliances (9) Mounting height elevation for wall-mounted devices and appliances (10) Where occupant notification is required, minimum sound pressure levels that must be produced by the audible notification appliances in applicable covered areas (11) Pathway diagrams between the control unit, and the supervising station and shared communications equipment (12) Completed record of completion in accordance with and (13) For software-based systems, a copy of site-specific software, including specific instructions on how to obtain the means of system and software access (password) (14) Record (as-built) drawings (15) Records, record retention, and record maintenance in accordance with Section 7.7 (16) Completed record of inspection and testing in accordance with and Submittal Date: Thu Jul 03 14:39:34 EDT 2014
6 A requirement for documented power loss db calculations is redundant to the requirements for documenting the minimum sound pressure levels that must be produced by the audible notification appliances in the applicable covered areas and the requirement for voltage drop calculations for notification appliance circuits. The definition of "notification appliance circuit" includes the pathway connecting an amplifier to one or more speakers. Section 7.2.2(7) was revised to indicate that the battery calculations are intended to document that the provided battery capacity and de-rating meet the requirements of this code. The requirement for the completed record of inspection and testing was restored. Public Comment No. 180-NFPA [Section No ] Public Comment No. 55-NFPA [Section No ] of 2 9/22/2014 1:40 PM
7 of 1 9/22/2014 1:40 PM Second Revision No. 60-NFPA [ Section No ] * All documentation stored in electronic format shall be stored in current-day compatible media electronic documentation formats and interfaces shall be reviewed annually and updated by the owner or the owner's representative as needed to maintain accessibility and compatibility with the associated system. Submittal Date: Thu Jul 03 14:57:54 EDT 2014 The first draft text does not indicate who is responsible for maintaining electronic documents formats so that they remain accessible. The building owner (or their representative) should be responsible for keeping the formats current because the documents are their property. The revised text is clearer and indicates that the building owner or their representative is responsible. Public Comment No. 11-NFPA [Section No ] Public Comment No. 239-NFPA [Section No ]
8 of 1 9/22/2014 1:41 PM Second Revision No. 61-NFPA [ Section No ] * In areas that are not continuously occupied, an automatic smoke detector shall be provided at the location of each fire alarm control unit(s), notification appliance circuit power extenders extender(s), and supervising station transmitting equipment. The location of the required detector shall be in accordance with to provide notification of fire at that location. Exception: Where ambient conditions prohibit installation of an automatic smoke detector, an automatic heat detector shall be permitted. Submittal Date: Mon Jul 07 12:17:55 EDT 2014 The text, "the location of the required detector shall be in accordance with ," was deleted because it would require full detection coverage for the area. The intent of is to provide detection for a specific hazard at the equipment location so that fire is likely to be detected before the equipment is disabled. The requirement to provide notification of a fire condition before equipment is disabled by fire should apply to emergency communication system signaling because of the analogous life safety purpose of ECS.

17 0 of 63 9/22/2014 1:42 PM Second Revision No. 73-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A The fire alarm control units that are to be protected are those that provide notification of a fire to the occupants and responders. The term fire alarm control unit does not include equipment such as annunciators and addressable devices. Requiring smoke detection at the transmitting equipment is intended to increase the probability that an alarm signal will be transmitted to a supervising station prior to that transmitting equipment being disabled due to the fire condition. CAUTION: Exception No. 1 to permits the use of a heat detector if ambient conditions are not suitable for smoke detection. It is important to also evaluate whether the area is suitable for the control unit. Where the area or room containing the control unit is provided with total smoke detection coverage, additional smoke detection is not required to protect the control unit. Where total smoke detection coverage is not provided, the Code intends that only one smoke detector is required at the control unit even when the area of the room would require more than one detector if installed according to the spacing rules in Chapter 17. The intent of selective coverage is to address the specific location of the equipment. The location of the required detection should be in accordance with Submittal Date: Mon Jul 07 16:46:04 EDT 2014 The requirement to provide notification of a fire condition prior to a control unit(s) or equipment used for transmitting notification signals being attacked by fire is equally, or in some instances more critical in an ECS or MNS system. This is a "fundamental" requirement that should apply to all signaling system notification equipment located in areas that are not continuously occupied as specified in This correlates with the revisions in Public Comment No. 72-NFPA [Section No. A ]
18 1 of 63 9/22/2014 1:42 PM Second Revision No. 74-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A The intent of this requirement is to ensure that hearing-impaired persons are alerted to seek additional information regarding an emergency situation. Hearing-impaired persons might not be able to hear alerted by the speaker notification appliances that provide evacuation tones or voice instructions. It is intended that the speakers and visible devices located in the same area be activated together whenever tones, recorded voice instructions, or live voice instructions are being provided. Submittal Date: Mon Jul 07 16:49:15 EDT 2014 This annex material should be associated with as indicated in the committee statement for FR-363. The text was editorially revised. Public Comment No. 20-NFPA [Section No. A ]
19 2 of 63 9/22/2014 1:42 PM Second Revision No. 75-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A Where it is desired to deactivate the notification appliances for fire service operations and also provide notification that the fire inside the building and signal evacuated occupants that an alarm is still active present, it is recommended that a separate non-silenceable notification zone be provided that is non-silenceable on the exterior of the building. The audible and visible notification appliances located at the building entrances with audible and visible notification appliances outside each entrance to the protected building or space. These notification appliances could serve as a warning signal to prevent occupant re-entry during fire service operations. Submittal Date: Mon Jul 07 16:50:55 EDT 2014 : Revised wording for improved clarity. Public Comment No. 14-NFPA [Section No. A ]
