The tone or signal from the audible alarm shall not be similar to any other normal noise, tone
or sound in the area.
For outdoor purposes, the visual alarm shall use high intensity strobe lights, visible for
500meters and shall be emitted for at least 5 minutes.

outdoor service area. Bell shall meet UL requirement.
Bell shall be surface mounted and swivel type to protect the sound in any direction.
Flashing light shall be provided with alarm bell for annunciation of fire. The output of flashing
light shall be at least 110 peak candle power.
In all cases, flashing red lamps shall be provided in addition to the audible alarm in a clearly
visible location, preferably above every exit door, to indicate a hazardous situation in there
spective room or area.
Audible and visual alarms shall be provided as shown on approved detail drawings. A
common audible and visual alarm may be used for areas comprised of multiple fire zones
provided that the alarm annunciation is not shielded from the affected fire zone. The audible
alarms shall not be less than 95 dBA throughout the protected area.
8.1.9 Manual Discharge & Abort Station
Manual release switch is a dial actuation device which provides a means of manually
discharging the automatic fire extinguishing system.
The system abort switch is designed to be used in conjunction with other system equipment. It
provides a temporary manual means by which the agent actuation circuit may be interrupted
before automatic actuation occurs.
8.1.10 Warning Sign
The warning sign provides an easy to understand and universal solution to your fire safety
sign needs. All sign includes both text and symbols to help the viewer understand the
message being conveyed. The material shall be semi-rigid PVC.

9.2 Activation Rules
The extinguishing system shall be able to be activated through manual operation via manual
station and automatic operation via detection system by cross zone logic.
Manual operation shall only be able to initiate alarm and not directly activate the discharging
agent.
The actuation of one detector (smoke or heat) in a zone shall not be sufficient to cause the
discharge of the agent.
The agent shall only be actuated to discharge on activation of another adjacent detector in
that zone after a certain time delay.

activated, the following functions shall be executed:
The discharge warning sirens shall be activated.
After a present time delay of between 0-180 sec (adjustable) has expired, the gas actuator
shall release the gas into that particular zone.
At the time of gas discharge, the "GAS DISCHARGE DO NOT ENTER" signs of that particular
zone shall be flashing.
"EVACUATE AREA" signage and flashing lights shall be provided along the aisle ways and
routes of exit upon activation of the first detector.
"GAS DISCHARGE DO NOT ENTER" signs shall be provided at the entrance to all zones and
to such other areas to warn unauthorized personnel not to enter the protected area upon the
total flooding of the extinguishing gas.
The illuminated warning signs shall flash until they are manually reset after the fire has been
put out and the system restored to normal.

9.4 Cylinders and Discharge System
