7 The voice alarm condition
Clause / Requirement Compliance Signature
7.1 Reception and processing of fire
signals
Plena Voice Alarm System is compliant.
7.1.1 The VACIE shall be capable of receiving
and processing alarm signals from the CIE or
from manual control on the VACIE or both, and
causing the appropriate voice alarm outputs to
be activated within 3 s or on expiry of any delay
period (see 7.4).
Alarm signals from the CIE can be received
from input contacts and the Open
Interface. Manual control is possible via the
controls and input contacts. Note the call
stations are not part of the voice alarm
function and are disabled in the alarm
condition.
NOTE - See Annex E for additional information
relating to the interface between the VACIE
and the CIE.
If input contacts are used for connection of
the CIE to the Plena Voice Alarm System
then the input contacts can be monitored
for short circuit and open line. If the Open
Interface is used for connection of the CIE
to the VACIE, the communication is
monitored using keep-alive messaging.
7.1.2 The mandatory indications and or
outputs shall not be falsified by multiple alarm
signals received simultaneously from the CIE
and/or manual controls.
The Plena Voice Alarm System offers one
alarm priority.
7.1.3 Where the VACIE and CIE are in separate
cabinets, failure of the transmission path
between the CIE and the VACIE shall not result
in any loss of control or any change of state of
the VACIE.
The Plena Voice Alarm System is an
autonomous subsystem that can operate
without connection to the CIE. The effect
of the failure of the transmission path
between the CIE and the Plena Voice Alarm
System is limited to fault reporting and
losing interaction between the CIE and the
Plena Voice Alarm System.
The system must be configured correctly
for this.
7.2 Indication of the voice alarm
condition
Plena Voice Alarm System is compliant.
7.2.1 The presence of a voice alarm condition
shall be indicated on the VACIE, without prior
manual intervention, by:
a a visible indication by means of a separate
discrete light emitting indicator (the
General Voice Alarm Activated indicator);
A voice alarm condition is indicated on the
Plena Voice Alarm System system by:
– A red indicator on all call stations
(the system status LED).
– A textual indicator on the controller
display.
– A red indicator on the controller.
b a visible indication for each activated voice
alarm zone where manual controls are
provided (see 10.2);
The controller and routers have a separate
LED per zone to indicate activation of all
zones.
NOTE - This may be by means of separate
discrete indicators or an alphanumeric display
as specified in 13.8.
