[1] Allowed only if the IDC is connected to the latching alarm device
[2] Allowed only when the supervising station supervises the telephone line and annunciates fault conditions
within 200 seconds
[3] Prohibited when the control panel is connected to a supervising station
[4] The power supplies BPS6A, BPS6A/230, BPS10A, BPS10A/230 used for SIGA-REL are not compatible with
FM sprinkler applications that require 90 hours of standby.
[5] CO alarm signals are required to activate TC4 CO evacuation signals but CO Supervisory or CO Monitor
signals are not allowed to activate CO evacuation signals. CO alarm/CO supervisory/CO monitor signals shall not
activate TC3 fire evacuation signals.
[6] CO detectors with a “CO alarm” device type must be programed using zones with bicolor LEDs (zones 13
through 16 and 29 through 32) and the zone type must be set to Supervisory. The panel Event Notification must
be set to Zone. Using this configuration ensures that when the “CO alarm” device type goes active, the panel
displays a yellow LED indication instead of a red. This configuration complies with CAN/ULC-S527.
[7] UL 864 does not allow the use of alarm verified smoke detectors for activating releasing service applications.
