Introduction
This Technical Specification describes the requirements for annunciation equipment used in
alarm receiving centres.
It does not cover the operation (e.g. organisation, manning, construction of the building) of an
alarm receiving centre.
The Technical Specification defines how messages, presented to the annunciation equipment
by the receiving centre transceiver, should be secured.
The requirements of this specification apply to all messages received from an alarm
transmission system used for fire alarm systems and any alarm system within the scope of
CENELEC TC 79 (e.g. intruder systems and social alarm systems and access control systems
and CCTV systems communicating with alarm receiving centres).
1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies the requirements and test procedures for annunciation
equipment located in an alarm receiving centre.
The annunciation equipment may be made up of one or more items of apparatus connected
together (e.g. computers, electronic cards in separate housings, displays, keypads, printers,
etc). The combination of the different apparatus is considered as one item of annunciation
equipment which shall conform to the requirements of this specification.
NOTE These requirements do not apply to annunciation equipment, made up of more than one piece of
apparatus, when one or more parts of the annunciation equipment are outside the alarm receiving centre at which
message acceptance will be performed.
2 Normative references
This Technical Specification incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from
other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate place in the text
and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or
revisions of any of these publications apply to this Technical Specification only when
incorporated in it by an amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of
the publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this Technical Specification, the following definitions apply.

3.1
annunciation equipment
equipment which presents, directly or after processing, information contained in messages

3.2
messages
a series of signals which are presented to the annunciation equipment interface by the
receiving centre transceiver
The messages are divided into four types:

3.2.1
alarm messages
messages which contain a warning that a hazard (or a potential hazard) to life or property
exists at one or more of the connected alarm systems

3.2.2
fault messages
messages which contain information that a fault has been detected in the connected alarm
systems
3.2.3
expected messages
messages from an alarm system which confirm the occurrence of a scheduled event

3.2.4
other messages
messages that are not alarm messages, fault messages or expected messages

3.3
operator
person responsible for the handling of messages presented at the annunciation equipment

3.4
queue
list of messages
3.5
message queue
queue awaiting message acceptance

3.6
log queue
list of messages waiting to be recorded in the log

3.7
log
permanent record
3.8
message acceptance
action, by an operator at the annunciation equipment, to indicate that a message has been
accepted
3.9
message acknowledgement
automatic information sent back to the receiving centre transceiver interface, confirming that
the message was passed correctly to the annunciation equipment

3.10
secured message
message which can not be lost (e.g. a message which can be retrieved in the event of power
failure)
3.11
alternative recording means
temporary record capable of storing messages and local information waiting to be logged

3.12
local information
information generated within the annunciation equipment (e.g. message acceptance, operator
actions, restart, fault conditions)

3.13
fault condition
event which prevents the annunciation equipment from functioning normally

3.14
fault information
information generated within the annunciation equipment resulting from a fault condition

3.15
presentation of information
information presented in an understandable format (e.g. names, addresses) for message
acceptance
3.16
annunciation equipment configuration data
data which influences the processing, indication, presentation, logging of messages. (e.g.
names and addresses, .)
3.17
alert indication
means to draw attention to the operator (e.g. audible and/or visual)
4 Requirements
4.1 Fault information
4.1.1 Generation of fault condition
A fault condition shall be generated within the annunciation equipment following the
corresponding fault.
4.1.2 Presentation of fault information
Fault information shall be presented within 10 s of the occurrence of the fault, unless
otherwise specified.
A fault condition resulting from the monitoring requirements specified in 4.20 shall generate
an alert indication
NOTE When the annunciation equipment is in the fault condition logging and/or presentation may be impossible.
