Latest version.
  • A. 
    As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
    APPROVED
    Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
    CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
    A single- or multiple-station carbon monoxide alarm intended for the purpose of detecting carbon monoxide gas and alerting occupants by a distinct audible signal comprising an assembly that incorporates a sensor control component and an alarm notification appliance in a single unit operated from a power source either located in the unit or obtained at the point of installation.
    CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTION CONTROL UNIT
    A component of the carbon monoxide detection system, provided with primary and secondary power sources, which receives signals from initiating devices or other carbon monoxide detection control units, and processes these signals to determine part or all of the required carbon monoxide detection system output function(s).
    CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
    A device connected to an alarm control unit having a sensor that responds to carbon monoxide.
    CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY FUNCTIONS
    Building and carbon monoxide functions that are intended to increase the level of life safety for occupants or to control the spread of the harmful effects of carbon monoxide.
    CHIEF FIRE MARSHAL
    The Chief Fire Marshal of the Town of Brookhaven.
    CONTROL UNIT
    A system component that monitors inputs and controls outputs through various types of circuits.
    FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE
    A device or equipment that burns solid, liquid or gaseous fuel or a combination thereof, for any process, including, but not limited to, heating, cooking, manufacturing and the like.
    LISTED
    A device, component and/or system which has been tested to an applicable standard and approved by a nationally recognized testing firm for a specific application/use. Carbon monoxide detectors and alarms installed in commercial buildings shall be listed in accordance with UL 2075. Where installation is permitted by these requirements, hard-wired carbon monoxide alarms shall be listed in accordance with UL 2034. A carbon monoxide control unit shall be listed for the purpose for which it is used. Where no carbon monoxide product standard exists, products listed for fire alarm service shall be permitted. A fire alarm control panel to which carbon monoxide detectors and alarms will be connected shall be listed in accordance with UL 864.
    MULTI-PURPOSE ALARM
    An alarm that incorporates detection capabilities for more than one hazardous condition, such as fire, fuel gas, or carbon monoxide.
    MULTIPLE-STATION CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
    A single-station carbon monoxide detection alarm capable of being interconnected to one or more additional alarms so that the actuation of one causes the appropriate alarm signal to operate in all interconnected alarms.
    NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE
    A system component such as a bell, horn, speaker, light, or text display that provides audible, tactile, or visible outputs, or any combination thereof.
    SINGLE-STATION CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
    A detector comprising an assembly that incorporates a sensor, control components, and an alarm notification appliance in one unit operated from a power source either located in the unit or obtained at the point of installation.
    B. 
    Signals:
    CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM SIGNAL
    A signal indicating a concentration of carbon monoxide at or above the alarm threshold that could pose a risk to the life safety of the occupants and that requires an immediate action.
    SUPERVISORY SIGNAL
    A signal indicating the need for action in connection with a pre-alarm condition, or in connection with the supervision of protected premises carbon monoxide safety functions or equipment, or the maintenance features of related systems.
    TROUBLE SIGNAL
    A signal initiated by a system or device indicative of a fault in a monitored circuit, system, or component.
    C. 
    Systems:
    CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTION SYSTEM
    A system or portion of a combination system that consists of a control unit, components, and circuits arranged to monitor and annunciate the status of carbon monoxide initiating devices and to initiate the appropriate response to those signals.
    COMBINATION CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTION SYSTEM
    A carbon monoxide detection system in which components are used, in whole or in part, in common with a non-carbon monoxide signaling system, and in which components are not used as part of a fire alarm system.
    COMBINATION SYSTEM
    A fire alarm system in which components are used, in whole or in part, in common with a non-fire signaling system, such as approved carbon monoxide devices.
