CHAPTER 1. GENERAL. ARTICLE 100. DEFINITIONS. Throughout this pamphlet the following meanings are intended; Alarm Signal. A signal indicating an emergency requiring im- mediate action, as an alarm for fire from a rnanual box, a waterflow alarm, an alarm from an automatic fire alarm system, or other emer- gency signal. a mage Signal. A signal indicating the need of action in connection with the supervision of watchmen, sprinkler and othe a systems or equipment, or with the maintenance features of other protective systems. Trouble Signal. A signal indicating trouble of any nature, such as a circuit break or ground, occurring in the devices or wiring associated with a protective signaling system. Protective Systems, Equipment, or Apparatus.

Protective Signaling Systems. Electrically operated circuits, in- struments, and devices, together with the necessary electrical energy, designed to transmit alarms and supervisory and trouble signals, necessary for the protection of life and property. Central Station System. A system, or group of systems, the operations of which are signaled to, recorded in, maintained and supervised from an approved central station, in which there are competent and experienced observers and operators in attendance at all times whose duty it shall be, upon receipt of a signal, to take such action as shall be required under the rules established for their guidance. Such systems shall be independently owned, controlled, and operated by a person, firm, or corporation whose principal busi- ness is the furnishing and maintaining of supervised protective signaling service and who have no interest in the protected properties. The service required following the manual oper- ation of a fire alarm box, the transmission of ar alarm indicating the operation of protective equipment or systems, such as an alarm from waterflow in a sprinkler system, the discharge of carbon dioxide, the detection of smoke, the detection of excessive heat, or the transmission of an alarm from other protective systems. 3 (fol. 1355] 4 CENTRAL STATION PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEMS —_—— Supervisory Service. The service required to assure performance of watch patrols and the operative condition of automatic sprinkler systems and of other systems for the protection of life and property. Maintenance. Repair service, includi:.¢ periodically recurrent inspections and tests, required to keep the pro‘ective signaling system and its component parts in an operative condition at all s, to- ether with replacement of the system or of its coniponents, when or any reason they become undependable or inoperetive. Distant Service. The alarm and supervisory service furnished where, because of distance, customary and acceptable runner and response service cannot be furnished from the central station or from a’, approved runner station. ARTICLE 110. FUNDAMENTALS. 1110. Application. 1111. Protective signaling systems have been in use for many years, and their value, in connection with the fire hazard, is r zed as applying both to the protection of life and to the preven of property damage. 2 The general experience with all protective signaling systems is that their dependability is directly pr tional to the amount and effective character of maintenance, ting, and supervis that these functions are best performed when the owner or occupant of the protected premises contracts for service with an outside agency known to be qualified in the handling of central station signaling service. 1112. This Standard is intended to apply primarily to super- visory and alarm service furnished by operators constantly in attend- ance at a central station, manually or automatically controlled, with the required maintenance, inspection and testing force and runner service readily available. Central station companies customarily follow this Standard for maintenance, testing, aud inspection with respect to other classes of contract service which they furnish, but may, subject to approval of the authority having jurisdiction and because of distance from the central station or otherwise, modify the character of the runner service response provided. For standards applying to systems which do not ae 4 as central station systems, see Standards for Proprietary, Auxiliar gg a Station and Local Protective Signaling Systems (NBF 0. 1120. Approval. 1121. Before acceptance may be obtained for any ecuipment operating through a central station, there shall be filed with the authority having jurisdiction a general description of the apparatus to be installed together with such detailed information and drawings as are necessary to the complete understanding of the operation of the system. Daily reports to subscribers and to the authority having jurisdiction may be required. 1122. If the authority having jurisdiction requires it, there shall also be furnished: a. Diagrams showing the manmer in which the various equip- [fol. 1356] GENERAL 5 ments will be connected to the central station and signals delivered to the city fire department. b. A satisfactory guarantee of the service to be furnished, and of the efficiency and maintenance of the system. 1130. Central Station Facilities. 1131. The central station building and its fire protection shall be satisfactory to the authority having jurisdiction. 1132. The central station shall be equipped with the necessary instruments of an approved pattern for automatically receiving and recording all signals. The time of receipt of signals shall also be recorded manually, or preferably by an automatic device. 1133. The central station shall have reliable means of trans- mitting alarms to the fire department over wires electrically super- vised and under the control of the central station. Where permissible and deemed necessary it is recommended that there be established a direct electrically supervised circuit to fire alarm headquarters, with suitable code-sending device and recorder, and, in addition, a direct telephone circuit from the central station to fire alarm headquarters. 1134. The devices and circuits shall be designed and installed so as to meet successfully the most severe conditions liable to be met in practice, and no change or alteration shall be made in same without approval. 1135. Circuits between the prot=cted premises and the centra! station, and within the protected premises, except as hereinafter excluded, where essential to the actuation or operation of signaling devices initiating a signal indicative of fire, shall be so arranged that the occurrence of a single break or single ground fault will not prevent the transmission of an alarm. This requirement shall not apply to circuits wholly within the central station, nor to circuits extending from a thermostat to a transmitter, nor to power supply leads wholly within the buildings protected and carried in. metallic conduit not subject to moisture, provided, however, that in the case of oa exception failure of the power supply shall give a trouble signal. 1136. The occurrence of a single break or a single ground fault on any circuit shall not of itself cause a false signal which may be interpreted as an alarm of fire. Where such single fault prevents the normal functioning of any circuit its occurrence shall be indicated automatically at the central station by a trouble signal compelling attention and readily distinguishable from signals other than those indicative of an abnormal condition of supervised parts of a fire extinguishing system. 1137. Circuit adjusting means for emergency operation may either be automatic or be provided through manual operation upon receipt of a trouble signal. 1138. The circuits and devices shall be arranged to receive and record a signal readily identifiable as to location of origin, and provisions shall he made for equally identifiable transmission to the fire department. [fol. 13571 6 CENTRAL STATION PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEMS 1140. Operations and Test. 1141. The central station shall have sufficient personnel (a mimimum of “two persons) constantly on duty to assure immediate attention to all signals received and, where required, prompt runner service to the protected premises. All operators and runners shall be of mature age. The authority having. jurisdiction may modify the standards re- specting personnel where alarms are automatically transmitted to the fire department. Operation and supervision shall be the primary functions of the operators and runners and no other interest or activity shall take precedence over the protective service. 1142, Manual tests of all circuits extending from the central sta- tion and of central station devices shall be made at intervals of approximately twelve hours. 1143. Facilities shall be provided at the central station on all circuits extending from the central station and on all local current sources at the central station for making the following tests: a. Current strength on each circuit; this current to be adjusted to normal before making other tests. b. Voltage across terminals of each circuit at the inside terminals of protective devices. c. Voltage between ground and each side of each circuit. 1144. Complete and satisfactory test shall be made monthly of all actuating and transmitting devices, except gate valve supervisory switches, non-coded manual fire alarm boxes, and combination night watch and fire alarm boxes, which must at least be tested at six- month intervals. Test results shall be reported to the authority having jurisdiction. 1150. Signals and Reports. 1151. Arrangements shall be made to furnish reports of signals received to the authority having jurisdiction, in a form acceptable to it. 1152. Disposition of Signals. a. Upon receipt of trouble signals or other signals pertaining solely to matters of equipment maintenance of the signaling systems, the operating company shall immediately investigate and, if possible, assure that the trouble is remedied at once. Written notice shall be given the authority having jurisdiction and to the property owner, in all cases where service of the signaling system is interruped and is not immediately corrected. b. Upon receipt of signals indicating a flow of water in the automatic sprinkler system the central station shall notify the fire department and such other parties as the authority having jurisdiction may require. It shall also dispatch a runner to the protected premises. It shall also notify the property owner by telephone or by the quickest method available. 796 (fol. 1358] GENERAL . It is recommended that, in addition, written notification be given the property owner. Where notification is required of parties with whom private lines of communication have not been provided, the quickest available means of communication shall be used. c. If at any time a combination signal is received which from its nature is indicative of water flow at the premises protected, such a signal shall be handled by the central station as a fire alarm, pro. vided, however, that the authority having jurisdiction may waive notification to the fire department of sprinkler water flow alarms during working hours of the protected premises, unless accompanied by other signals indicating a probable fire. Definite instructions for the handling of alarms shall be posted for the guidance of operators, d. All alarms initiated by manual or automatic fire alarin devices shall be treated as fire alarms and transmitted to the fire department, and to such other places as may be designated by the authority having jurisdiction. e. Upon failure of the central station to receive a watchman’s regular signal within the grace period established the central station shall at once communicate with the protected premises by telephone, or by calling back over the system circuit. If communication cannot be established promptly a runner shall be dispatched to investigate the delinquency. Failure of the watchman to follow a prescribed route in transmitting his signals shall be handled as a delinquency and reported in writing to the authority having jurisdiction. All delinquencies shall be reported in writing to the subscriber. f. Sprinkler system and other supervisory signals shali be com- municated immediately to a designated person at the protected premises, and shall be investigated by a runner unless supervised conditions are restored to normal promptly. The authority having jurisdiction and the subscriber shall be notified of the signal and of the times of occurence and restoration of service. Notification shall be given the fire department and others designated by the authority having jurisdiction when sprinkler systems are wholly or partially out of service. g. The operating company shall have a man available within two-hour travel who is competent to inspect, maintain, and repair the system. 1153. Distant Service. Where, because of distance, acceptable runner service cannot be furnished from the central station or from an approved runner station, the authority liaving jurisdiction shall designate the method of handling alarm and other signals and the runner service to be provided. It is recommended that, where practicable, suitable provision be made, subject to the acceptance of the authority having jurisdiction, to notify the local fire department or brigade of alarms, either by automatic or manual transmission from the protected premises or from the central station, such provision to include confirmation of the alarm from the central station to the local fire department by telephone or by coded signal.

Location of Detectors. 3431. Smoke detectors shall be so located and adjusted to oper- ate reliably in case of smoke at any part of the area protected. The location of detectors should be based upon an engineering survey of the application of this form of protection to the area under con- sideration. These features include air velocity; number of detectors to provide adequate coverage of cross-sectional areas of the space with respect to travel, diffusion, or stratification of smoke; location of detectors with respect to exhaust intake, or circulating blowers; air conditioning facilities; temperature variations, and the like. Such conditions vary with different installations and should be dealt with on the basis of experience in the service. 3432. Special consideration shall be given to the storage of contents of a protected space to provide unobstructed openings for the travel of smoke to the smoke detector. Comemennedienc: [fol. 1373] TYPES OF SIGNALING SERVICES 21 3433. Where air conditioning or ventilating equipment serves the space to be protected by a smoke detector, particular attention shall be given to the intake, exhaust, and circulation of smoke under any condition of operation of the equipment to insure prompt de- tection. 3434. Photo-electric light beams shall be so located or enclosed or otherwise arranged that movement of objects within the space protected will cause no signal. 3435. Light-sensitive equipment shall be so located or shielded that light from any source other than that intended to be applied to the ecuipment will have no effect upon the detector. The opening of any enclosure during normal servicing shail cause no smoke alarm signal. A smoke detector shall be so installed as to minimize the possibility of operation due to accumulation of dust, moisture, deteri- oration of equipment, or any other condition of system operation not associated with fire or smoke. 3436. The conditions of occupancy of each space protected by a smoke detector shall be arranged to avoid operation of the detector due to the use of fumigants, or any other type of fog- or mist- producing materials, sweeping and cleaning resulting in dust circula- tion, or the like. 3437. The smoke detection combination shall be able to with- stand 110 per cent of the rated voltage continuously without injury during the normal supervisory condition and shall operate success- fully during the normal signaling condition at the increased voltage and also at 80 per cent of normal voltage. 3438. All smoke detecting equipment shall be secured reliably in place. The security of separate photo-electric light source and receiver units sh2!l insure against change of adjustment due to vibra- tion, change in alignment of supporting surfaces, or the like. 3439. Provision shall be made to afford adequate protection of the smoke detection equipment from mechanical injury. 3440. Maintenance Servicing. 3441. All equipment requiring servicing shall be readily access- ible and shall provide practical means for cleaning parts which accumulate dust, replacement of illuminating lamps, etc. 3442. Suitable and practical facilities shall be provided to permit periodic testing for sensitivity. 3443. The equipment shall be inspected monthly and maintained in proper operating condition. 3450. Circuit Arrangement. 3451.

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL. ARTICLE 100. DEFINITIONS. Throughout this pamphlet the following meanings are intended; Alarm Signal. A signal indicating an emergency requiring immediate action, as an alarm for fire from a manual box, a water. flow alarm, an alarm from an automatic fire alarm system, or other emergency signal. Signal. A signal indicating the need of action in connection with the supervisiom of watchmen, sprinkler and other extinguishing systems or equipment, or with the maintenance features of other protective systems. Trouble Signal. A signal indicating trouble of any nature such as a circuit break or ground, occurring in the devices or wiring associated with a protective signaling system. Protective Systems, Equipment or Apparatus. Automatic sprin- klers, standpipes, carbon dioxide systems, automatic covers, and other devices used for extinguishing fires and for controlling temperatures or other conditions dangerous to life or property. Protective Signaling Systems. Electrically operated circuits, in- struments, and devices, together with the necessary electrical energy, designed to transmit alarms and supervisory and trouble sigatl necessary for the protection of life and property. Alarm Service. The service required a the manual oper- ation of a fire alarm box, the transmission of an alarm indicating the operation of protective equipment or systems, such as an alarm from waterflow in a sprinkler system, the discharge of carbon dioxide, the detection of smoke, the detection of excessive heat, or the transmis- sion of an alarm from other protective systems. Supervisory Service. The service required to assure performance of watch patrols and the operative condition of automatic sprinkler systems and of other systems for the protection of life and property. Maintenance. Repair service, including periodically recurrent inspections and tests, required to keep the protective signaling system and its component parts in an operative condition at all times, to- ether with replacement of the system or of its components, when or any reason thty become undependable or inoperative. 3 Sn as YY — Va - {fol. 1379] ‘ GENERAL System. A system with supervision by competent experienced personnel in a central supervising station at the ropes protected. The system is to include equipment and other required to permit the operators to tain, test, and operate the system, and upon receipt of a si to take such action as shall be required under the rules established for their guidance by the authority having jurisdiction. (See Paragraph 4011 for a statement of the distinction between Class A and B Proprietary Systems). Auxiliary Alarm System. A system maintained and supervised by a responsible person or corporation and consisting of transmitting devices and associated equipment which when operated manually or automatically causes an alarm to be transmitted over a municipal fire alarm system, to a fire station or to fire alarm headquarters for retransmission, either manually or automatically, to fire stations. Auxiliarizing a municipal fire alarm system in connection with a private fire alarm system has for its object the transmission of alarms directly to a fire station or to fire alarm headquarters upon operation of an actuating device such as an automatic fire detector, waterflow alarm switch, or manual fire alarm station. Combining the auxiliary feature with any private alarm system introduces features of maintenance, inspection, and supervision, usually involving divided ate L and requires special consideration by the authority having jurisdiction. Fire alarm systems which transmit an alarm to a fire station or to fire alarm headquarters, independently of and in addition to an auxiliary system, provide a duplication of service, increasing the probability of an alarm being received. There are two types of auxiliary systems, the series or local current type, and the shunt type. Remote Station System. A system of electrically supervised devices employing a direct circuit connection between the alarm signal actuating devices at the protected premises and signal-indicat- ing equipment in a remote station, such as fire or police headquarters or other place acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. Local Alarm System. An electrically operated system producing signals at one or more places at the premises served. Miscellaneous System. Any other protective signaling system.
