Wiring
In-suite signal silence applications in residential occupancy buildings require separate signal
circuits for each floor area. In addition, each floor area requires separate circuits for:
• Audible devices located within-suites or dwelling units
• Audible devices not located within-suites or dwelling units
Figure 61 above illustrates these requirements in a sample residential occupancy building with
five floors. The illustration shows that:
• Separate audible signal circuits are provided for each floor
• Audible signal circuits 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are located inside dwelling units
• Audible signal circuits 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are located in hallways not within dwelling units.
Correlations
To enable in-suite auto signal silence, you need at least ‘N+2’ correlation groups, where N =
the number of floor areas. You need: A correlation group for each floor, a hallway correlation
