General notes: Voice evac/mass notification will have different requirements.

1.    Smoke detector at FACP panel and NAC panels and at communicator location if different location.

2.    At least one pull station even on fully sprinkled buildings.

3.    If the building is not sprinkled it may require more protection.

4.    Local AHJ Fire Marshal may have additional requirements.

5. New code requires low frequency horns in sleeping rooms and many times in the living rooms as well on new buildings. These low frequency have a much higher current draw so power supplies have to be planned out to handle them. On ADA rooms low frequency horn/strobes are required.
