For Preventing Non-Emergency Fire Alarms
F�eRQENCY SERV���s
�
In order to prevent a non-emergency response from the Vail Fire Department Suppression crews to the con-
struction location you may be working on, we ask that you perform the following tasks:
Determine what kind of fire alarm system exists within the structure you are
working in with the owner or the manager of the property involved or by contact-
ing the Vail Fire Department.
Determine with the owner or manager of the property, which alarm company
services the system for them
Become familiar with the different components that are associated with the fire
alarm system and how they operate before the DEMO begins.
Never paint a smoke detector, thermal detector, or any other component of the
fire alarm system and never paint a sprinkler head.
For larger projects, please contact the Vail Fire Department so that we can
work with you in determining what needs to be done to alter or"Zone Out" spe-
cific areas of the alarm system for the structure.
Please contact the Vail Fire Department at 479-2252.

Installation
Single-stage Signature Series fire alarm manual pull stations mount to North American 21/z inch(64 mm)deep 1-gang boxes.
Two stage presignal(270P)models require 11/z inch(38 mm)deep 4-inch square boxes with 1-gang,1/z-inch raised covers.Openings must be
angular.Rounded openings are not acceptable. Recommended box:Steel City Model 52-C-13;in Canada,use Iberville Model CI-52-C-49-1/2.
All models include terminals are suited for#12 to#18 AWG(2.5 mmz to 0.75 mmz)wire size.GE Security recommends that these fire alarm
stations be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Electronic Addressing: The loop controller electronically addresses each manual station,saving valuable time during system commission-
ing.Setting complicated switches or dials is not required.Each station has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory.The
loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a"sofY'address to each serial number.If desired,the stations can be addressed
using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.

Electronic Addressing-The loop controller electronically addresses
each module,saving valuable time during system commissioning.
Setting complicated switches or dials is not required.Each module
has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory.
The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a
"soft"address to each serial number. If desired,the modules can be
addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.
GE Security recommends that this module be installed according to
latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.

tion showing branch wiring(T-tapsl,device types and their address are stored on disk for
printing hard copy.This takes the mystery out of the installation.The preparation of as-built
drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping allows the Signature Data Controller to discover:
• Unexpected additional device addresses
• Missing device addresses
• Changes to the wiring in the circuit.
Most Signature modules use a personality code selected by the installer to determine their
actual function.Personality codes are downloaded from the SDC during system configura-
tion and are indicated during device mapping.
Standalone Operation-A decentralized alarm decision by the device is guaranteed.On-
board intelligence permits the device to operate in standalone(degrade)mode.If Signature
loop controller CPU communications fail for more than four seconds,all devices on that
circuit go into standalone mode.The circuit acts like a conventional alarm receiving circuit.
Each Signature device on the circuit continues to collect and analyze information from its
slave devices.When connected to a panel utilizing standalone operation,modules with their
"personality"set as alarm devices(IDC)will alarm should their slave alarm-initiating device
activate.

Signature Series Intelligence
Like all Signature detectors,the GSA-SD features electronic ad-
dressing and issues a dirty sensor warning when it reaches its pre- pl C7121�iS101"1S
set limit.The dirty sensor warning indicates the sensor is operating
within its specified limits but is in need of servicing.When the detec- $�o���ZZ,=m�

its limit,the duct smoke detector signals a trouble condition. ,.08��o.8Z�m�— _ �.6°�^ _
�Q.os�m�
The GSA-SD also uses differential sensing to prevent gradual
environmental changes from triggering unwanted alarms.A rapid
change in environmental conditions,such as smoke from a fire,
causes the detector to signal an alarm state,but dust and debris �
accumulated over time does not change alarm sensitivity.
Each Signature Series SuperDuct detector contains a microproces-
sor that performs comprehensive self-diagnostics and stores the �
