2-9.2 Pressure Supervisory Signal-Initiating Device. Two separate and distinct signals shall be initiated: one indicating that
the required pressure has increased or decreased and the
other indicating restoration of the pressure to its normal
value. The following requirements shall apply to pressure
supervisory signal-initiating devices:
(a) A pressure tank supervisory signal-initiating device for
a pressurized limited water supply, such as a pressure tank,
shall indicate both high- and low-pressure conditions. A signal
shall be initiated when the required pressure increases or
decreases by 10 psi (70 kPa).
(b) A pressure supervisory signal-initiating device for a drypipe sprinkler system shall indicate both high- and low-pressure conditions. A signal shall be initiated when the pressure
increases or decreases by 10 psi (70 kPa).
(c) A steam pressure supervisory signal-initiating device
shall indicate a low-pressure condition. A signal shall be initiated prior to the pressure falling below 110 percent of the
minimum operating pressure of the steam-operated equipment supplied.
(d) An initiating device for supervising the pressure of
sources other than those specified in 2-9.2(a) through (c) shall
be provided as required by the authority having jurisdiction.
2-9.3 Water Level Supervisory Signal-Initiating Device. Two
separate and distinct signals shall be initiated: one indicating
that the required water level has been lowered or raised and
the other indicating restoration.
2-9.3.1 A pressure tank signal-initiating device shall indicate
both high- and low-water level conditions. A signal shall be
initiated when the water level falls 3 in. (76 mm) or rises 3 in.
(76 mm).
2-9.3.2 A supervisory signal-initiating device for other than
pressure tanks shall initiate a lowwater level signal when the
water level falls 12 in. (300 mm).
2-9.4 Water Temperature Supervisory Signal-Initiating Device. A temperature supervisory device for a water storage
container exposed to freezing conditions shall initiate two separate and distinctive signals. One signal shall indicate a
decrease in water temperature to 40F (4.4C) and the other
shall indicate its restoration to above 40F (4.4C).
2-9.5 Room Temperature Supervisory Signal-Initiating Device. A room temperature supervisory device shall indicate a
decrease in room temperature to 40F (4.4C) and its restoration to above 40F (4.4C).
