This material is taken from PI 169 which was resolved by the SIG- IDS committee. The correlating committee disagrees with the committee's reason for resolving the public input as it is the consensus opinion of the correlating committee that requirements for plans examiners and inspectors to be qualified do fall under the scope of NFPA 72.

Page 2 of 40 First Correlating Revision No. 17-NFPA 72-2014 [ Global Input ] A.12.3.6 (1) Class N consists of pathways between control equipment and devices. The pathways are comprised of metallic conductor communications cable, such as a 100 ohm balanced twisted-pair (e.g., Category 5E) including single pair or multi-pair cable, or other communications media such as optical fiber cable or wireless transmission, or a combination of two or more of these. Pathways consist of uninterrupted communications media between control equipment and an endpoint device or consist of a network of multiple interconnected communications media pathway segments connecting multiple devices. Media pathway segments are created by the use of transmission equipment such as Ethernet switches, wireless repeaters, or media converters that interrupt an otherwise continuous pathway. It should be noted that the requirements for Class N pathway transmission equipment are not covered by Chapter 12 but by other Chapters in NFPA 72. A network of pathway segments are also described as primary pathway segments, redundant pathway segments, or nondesignated pathway segments. Primary and redundant pathways, from control equipment to each device, are independently and continuously verified for their ability to support end-to-end communications to and from each endpoint device. Each device will be provided a primary pathway consisting of one or more pathway segments. For primary pathway segments that services more than one device, additional redundant pathway segments provide alternate verified communication pathways to the devices. Should any primary pathway segment fail, communication is supported by the redundant pathway segments. Should either a primary or redundant pathway segment fail, trouble will be indicated by virtue of the continuous verification of all primary and redundant pathway segments. The redundant pathway segments are generally independent and do not normally share media with the primary pathways. However, there are exceptions such as different frequencies for wireless or ring topologies (explained below). There is an opportunity to enhance the robustness of a Class N network by providing physically distinct pathway segments (i.e. an alternate conduit, or cable tray route, or wireless transmission frequency range, or a combination of distinct media). It is also permissible to provide other nondesignated pathway segments. Additional pathway segments in excess of the minimum requirements of Class N increase the overall robustness of the network and are often desirable. However, since these additional pathway segments exceed the minimum equipment standards, there is no intention to create an additional monitoring burden, so verification of these pathways is optional. For Class N, where a conductor-based media is used, it is not the intention to monitor faults on individual conductors but rather to monitor the operational capability and performance of the pathway as a whole. Unlike Class C, where multiple pathways are not required, for Class N some pathway segments that carry communications for multiple devices (such as Ethernet uplinks or backbones) will have redundant pathway segments present. The intention is that any one pathway segment can fail without a loss in operational capability to more than one device. For example, connections to control equipment (fire alarm control units, ACUs, or ECCU), where any interruption in communications could potentially affect all devices, would have redundant pathway segments. Additionally, backbone and uplink pathway segments that support communications for more than one device, positioned between transmission equipment, would also have a redundant pathway segment. But the requirement for redundant pathway segments does not apply to those pathway segments used to service a single device [see Figure A.12.3.6 (1)(a)].

Page 3 of 40 The term devices is used generically in this section refers to endpoint devices and includes the folllowing: (1) Input components such as alarm initiating switches, sensors (2) Output components such as Ethernet speakers ( i.e., IEEE 802.3af PoE speakers), strobes, textual signage, audio amplifiers Transmission equipment (e.g., media converters, Ethernet switches, patch panels, cross-connects) are not considered devices with respect to Class N pathways. The audio amplifier example is included to explain a type of addressable device that can receive a digital audio input from the Class N pathway but provide a notification appliance circuit (NAC) output to support Class A, B, or X speaker connections. Other similar devices are also possible to provide alternate class pathway connections for strobes (NACs) or initiating devices (IDCs). From the perspective of the Class N pathway, this is considered an endpoint device. However, since these types of endpoints can support multiple notification appliance devices or initiating devices, they are subject to the redundant pathway segment requirement and are provided with dual pathway connections. Control equipment connected to a Class N network for communications with devices would generally utilize redundant pathway segments. Control equipment connected to other control equipment on a Class N network would utilize redundant pathway segments if the control equipment was dependent on any of the pathway segments such that a failure of a primary pathway segment in-between control equipment could impair the operation of the control equipment [see Figure A.12.3.6 (1)(b)]. Another utilization of endpoints is permitted for devices providing two connection ports and supporting dual pathway segment connections. The description of endpoint devices is not intended to exclude devices that support dual pathway connections. Since these pathways are servicing a single device, only a single primary pathway connection is required. The second pathway connection exceeds minimum equipment standards and is therefore not required to be verified as a redundant pathway segment; it can be considered connected to a nondesignated pathway segment [see Figure A.12.3.6 (1)(c)].

The correlating committee also adds the annex material formerly in A.23.8.1.1 since it is informative and would otherwise be lost.

A.10.12.1 Actuation of an initiating device is usually the instant at which a complete digital signal is achieved at the device, such as a contact closure. For smoke detectors or other automatic initiating devices, which can involve signal processing and analysis of the signature of fire phenomena, actuation means the instant when the signal analysis requirements are completed by the device or fire alarm control unit software. A separate fire alarm control unit contemplates a network of fire alarm control units forming a single large system as defined in Section 23.8. For some analog initiating devices, actuation is the moment that the fire alarm control unit interprets that the signal from an initiating device has exceeded the alarm threshold programmed into the fire alarm control unit. For smoke detectors working on a system with alarm verification, where the verification function is performed in the fire alarm control unit, the moment of actuation of smoke detectors is sometimes determined by the fire alarm control unit. It is not the intent of this paragraph to dictate the time frame for the local fire safety devices to complete their function, such as fan wind-down time, door closure time, or elevator travel time.

Page 36 of 40 A.24.3.1 ] First Correlating Revision No. 32-NFPA 72-2014 [ New Section after A.24.3.1 When a rapid-onset emergency occurs, it is not always sufficient simply to initiate alarm notification appliances. Individuals might not know what the alarm signal means (or even hear it) and as a result might not respond appropriately to the warning signal. Mass notification and emergency communication systems have been designed and installed to be used to disseminate audible and visual messages in the event of an emergency. Such systems are based upon guidance and requirements provided in international codes and standards. There is limited guidance on how to use emergency communication systems and mass notification systems in the most effective manner. For example, buildings often use these systems to disseminate prerecorded, general emergency voice alarm messages that leave occupants wanting and needing further information before they can respond effectively. As the use of newer technologies, including mobile devices with multiple message delivery platforms (e.g., SMS text, Internet, email, social networking) increases, guidance on message content and dissemination becomes even more critical to ensure effective and safe response of building occupants during an emergency. However, for any specific application, there are characteristics that any emergency message should have to be effective. Messages being appropriate means that the messages should get the attention of the recipients in a timely manner and that the messages are credible to the recipients and comprehensible by the intended recipients. Being comprehensible means that the language, method of delivery, and content of the message are such that the intended message recipients should be able to understand the message in enough time to be able to decide to take the appropriate response to the message. Messages that are focused on protective actions means that the message should tell the intended audience what they should do to protect themselves and others. NIST Technical Note 1779, General Guidance on Emergency Communication Strategies for Buildings, describes the process in which people receive and process information in order to take action during rapid on-set emergencies. The document presents guidance on how to create and disseminate emergency information in the face of rapid-onset disasters providing guidance on dissemination of alert signals, creation of the warning message, formatting of messages for both visual and audible means, and dissemination of the warning message. Although this document is focused on emergency notification within buildings, many of the general principles apply to outdoor and wide-area notification as well. Submitter Information Verification
