zone or zone group keys. This call station features selectable gain, a selectable speech filter and a
limiter for improved intelligibility, even if the speaker moves in front of the microphone. Because the
call station provides a balanced line level output, it can be positioned up to 1000 m away from the
controller, using CAT- 5 extension cables. Using dipswitches on the bottom of the call station
different microphone gain levels can be select ass well as the call station ID and the speech filter.
Selected zones are indicated with LEDs on the call station, three additional LEDs give visible feedback
on the active state of the microphone and the system. Green indicates microphone active, amber
indicates that the system has detected a fault (IEC 80649) and red indicates that the system is in the
emergency state.

4.3.5 ROUTER

The Router has a set of relays for zone-switching the power amplifier output(s) to different
loudspeaker groups.
Each of the zones can be switched between the call channel (upon call-station selection or all-call
microphone or emergency activation), the BGM channel (upon front panel selection), or off. In order
to get a message through although the local volume controls have been set to a low volume level for
e.g. background music, volume override relay contacts are provided for each zone separately for
overriding local loudspeaker volume controls. Both the 3-wire and 4-wire
override schemes are supported. Upon a call or an activated trigger input these contacts will be
activated for the appropriate zones, together with an additional voltage free contact (Call Active) for
control purposes. A 24Vdc output is available to supply power to external relays, so no external power
supply is required for that purpose. A LED VU-meter allows for monitoring of the master output.

4.3.6 RACK

The Rack which will house all the central controller unit, Router, Amplifiers, DVD Player etc. shall be
of the following specification: 19" DUAL rack 800mm depth, 42U high Amplifier rack made of
aluminium channels with side and rear panels made of M.S. louvered side panels and finished to the
architects requirement. The front door shall be made of toughened glass with MS Lockable door. 4
fans shall be provided at the top for ventilation. Side panels shall be ventilated type. The rack shall be
powder coated to grey colour as per IS-5. All spare shall be covered with blank panels. The rack shall
have all necessary trays, holes, nuts and bolts required for mounting amplifiers, music sources,
monitoring monitoring units, zone selection modules, voice processor, and any other accessories
needed for the system.

4.3.7 DVD Player

The DVD player shall be able to play BGM. The unit consists of a DVD/CD-player and a digitally
controlled FM/AM tuner in a compact 2U-high, 19" housing. It connects to almost any public address
amplifier. The DVD/CD player provides up to a whole workweek of high quality, uninterrupted music
playback from a single MP3 DVD. It supports music organized on a disk in multiple folders. The
player will automatically search and play all playable formats on a disk, and has repeat mode.
Navigation is done on the multi lingual on screen display. Formats The unit plays normal audio and
video DVD/CDs, as well as long-play MPEG2, MP3 encoded CDs. It can also play MP3s and display
JPEGs on CD-R, DVD-ROM, and DVD-R. MP3- files with bit-rates from 32 kbps to 320 kbps,
mono/ stereo/joint-stereo, and both continuous bit-rates (CBR) and variable bit-rate (VBR) are
supported. Component composite, and S-Video connectors are available for video output. The unit
plays PAL and NTSC content in progressive scan, as well as interleaved. It is also possible to view
JPEG images from disk. Output Next to the stereo analog outputs, the disc part of the unit also has a
TOSlink optical output that supports S/P DIF as well as DST and Dolby Digital. It is possible to
output S/P DIF, regardless of the source, and to choose left/right, surround channels of low
frequency effects on this output. Tuner The digitally controlled AM/FM tuner uses a frequency
synthesizer for accurate capture of radio stations and has ten presets for FM and ten presets for AM to
store favourite radio stations.

5 TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

5.1 Smoke Detector:

The testing shall be carried out for each loop initially one detector in a loop and subsequently two or
more disassociated detectors in each loop with time gap between the detectors for alarm acknowledge
and Reset.

An identified detector will be subjected to smoke aspiration from burning paper or cigarette puffs,
held at 0.3 m distance from the detector. The panel should indicate through piezo sounder and hooter
that alarm signal has been transmitted throughout the system.

This test shall be carried out in different loops as well as two loops simultaneously. This part of the
detector test shall be repeated again after 24 hours gap.

5.2 Heat Detector:

The same test in the same sequence shall be carried out for this type of detector but with the
application of heat from a hair dryer-held at approximately 60 cm distance. Repeat testing of the same
detector shall be carried out at 24 hours interval.

5.3 Combined Test:

The next test will be in combination of smoke/heat detector, simultaneously with a time gap between
application of smoke or heat or as required by the Employer's representative.

5.4 Fire Alarm Panel

The panel shall be checked for basic tests, such as, visual checking of input voltage and amperage. All
loops one by one, shall be D-wired to check for fault signal indication in the panel.

Subsequently, in every loop of panel, a detector shall be subjected to smoke or heat test and signals
shall be checked on the panel.

The hooter shall sound automatically and the piezo sounders shall also sound. It shall also be possible
to check that the hooters of all panels sound automatically when the panels are auto moded.

The power source shall be cut off and checked for standby supply from the batteries. After six hours
the power source shall be switched on to check for auto switch over to mains mode. The trickle
charger shall take over the charging of the battery to its maximum cut off level with auto cut off. A set
of discharged batteries shall be connected to the panel in place of the new batteries and the
trickle/boost switch checked for charging of the batteries.

Tests shall be conducted for AC failure, charger failure, battery disconnected or battery failure. In all
such cases the relevant indication should come and the sounder shall also sound alarm.

5.5 Manual Call Box:

The manual call box glass shall be removed by unscrewing the back. The micro switch shall
instantaneously give a fire signal in the panel. In case of pull type stations test procedures as
recommended would be carried out.

5.6 Random Sample Testing:

About 5% of all fire alarm components shall be subjected to random testing by connecting to the
panels.

All smoke detectors shall be tested as given above and later cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

Hooters shall also be tested through direct 24V supply. It shall be tested for 10 minutes.

5.7 Testing of earthing system:

The earth continuity conductor including metallic parts of the equipments shall be tested for earth to
electrical continuity. All tests shall be carried out as per IS 3043 and resistance of complete installation
shall not be more than one ohm.

5.8 Commissioning and Acceptance Tests

The commissioning and acceptance tests shall be apart from the standard or routine tests prescribed
and normally conducted by the manufacturer /Design-Build Contractor and will be irrespective of the
fact whether the same are covered by such tests or not.

a. Each sounder circuit shall be energized separately and the sound level reading taken to check for
conformity with the minimum standards.

b. Mains failure performance.

c. Battery disconnection test.
