(Fig. 6.4) 'Good diagram, with clearly organized and labeled lamps, as well as building features to assist the fire service. Consistent designations for any floor indications used-in the building will avoid confusion. For exam- ple, it is imperative that floor designations on the signs mounted in stairways, elevator cars, and ele- vator lobbies, be consistent with the annunciator so the firefighters report to the correct floor. In addition to information about floors, zones, and devices, many features of the building could be shown on the diagram. These include fire protec- tion systems and building components that the fire department needs to be aware of (Figure 6.4). Designers should remember that modifications to the building or its layout may require changes to the diagram. An annunciator with inaccurate infor- mation could be worse than no annunciator at all. Considerations.- Graphic Displays ■ Include graphics to show location-related information. ■ Include standard features required for the jurisdiction. ■ Coordinate, the orientation of the diagram with its location in the building. ■ Provide separate sprinkler diagrams if zone boundaries do not coincide with other alarm devices. ■ Coordinate floor level designations with ele- vators and stairways. ■ Include the following building features: o Building address; o North direction arrow; o Stairs, their identification, and the floors they serve; o Elevators,.their identification, and the floors they serve; o'Elevator machine rooms; o Exterior entrances; o Standpipe locations; o Location of utility controls (electric, gas, fuel); o Fire alarm control panel; o Fire pump(s); o Fire department connection(s).
