  26. NFPA 5.1.9 Level 1 Warning Systems • All master, area & local alarm systems used for medical gas & vacuum systems shall include the following: • Separate visual indicators for each condition monitored (except as permitted in 5.1.9.5.2) • Visual indicators that remain in alarm until the situation that had caused the alarm is resolved • A cancelable audible indication of each alarm condition that produces a sound with a minimum of 80 dBA @ 3 ft • A means to visually indicate a lamp or LED failure • Visual & audible indication that the wiring to an alarm initiating device is disconnected • Labeling of each indicator, indicating the condition monitored • Labeling of each alarm panel for its area of surveillance

  27. NFPA 5.1.9 Level 1 Warning Systems • Re-initiation of the audible signal if another alarm condition occurs while the audible alarm is silenced • Powered by the Life Safety branch of the emergency electrical system • Power for local alarms, dew point sensors, & CO sensors permitted to be from the same essential electrical branch as is used to power the air compressor • Wiring from switches or sensors that is supervised or protected as required by Sect 517.30 (C) (3) of NFPA 70 • Assurance by the responsible authority of the facility that the labeling of the alarms, where room #’s or designations are used, is accurate & up-to-date • Provisions for automatic restart after a power loss of 10 seconds without giving false signals or requiring manual reset

  28. NFPA 5.1.9.2 Master Alarms • A master alarm system shall be provided to monitor the operation and condition of the source supply, the reserve source, and the pressure in the main lines of each medical gas & vacuum piping system • The master alarm system shall consist of two or more alarm panels located in at least two separate locations as follows: • One master alarm panel shall be located in the office or work space of the on-site individual responsible for the maintenance of the medical gas & vacuum systems • The second master alarm panel shall be located in an area of continuous observation

  29. 5.1.9.2.2 A centralized computer system shall be permitted to be substituted for one of the master alarms, if it complies with 5.1.9.4 • 5.1.9.2.3 The master alarm panels shall connect directly to the alarm devices they monitor • 5.1.9.2.3.1 Master alarm signals shall not be relayed from one master alarm panel to another • 5.1.9.2.3.2 Where multi-pole alarm relays are used to isolate the alarm initiating signals to master alarm panels, the control power source for the relays shall be independent of any of the master alarm panels • 5.1.9.2.3.3 Multiple master alarms shall be permitted to monitor a single initiating device

  32. 5.1.9.2.4 Master alarm panels for medical gas & vacuum systems shall each include the following signals: • An alarm condition when or just before changeover occurs in a medical gas system that is supplied by a manifold or other alternating-type bulk system that has as a part of its normal operation a changeover from one portion of the operating supply to another • An alarm indication for a bulk cryogenic liquid system when the main supply reaches an average day’s supply, indicating low contents • An alarm indication when or just before the changeover to the reserve supply occurs in a medical gas system that consists of one or more units that continuously supply the piping system while another unit remains as the reserve supply & operates only in the case of an emergency

  33. 5.1.9.2.5 The alarm indications required in 5.1.9.2.4(7) and 5.1.9.2.4(8) shall originate from sensors installed in the main lines immediately downstream of the source valves. Where it is necessary to install a main line valve in addition to a source valve, the sensors shall be located downstream of the main valve.

  34. NFPA 5.1.9.3 Area Alarms • Area alarm panels shall be provided to monitor all medical gas, medical-surgical vacuum, and piped WAGD systems supplying anesthetizing locations, and other vital life support and critical areas • 5.1.9.3.1 Area alarms shall be located at a nurse’s station or other similar location that will provide for surveillance

  36. 5.1.9.3.2 Area alarm panels for medical gas systems shall indicate if the pressure in the lines in the area being monitored increases or decreases by 20% from the normal line pressure. • 5.1.9.3.3 Area alarm panels for medical-surgical vacuum systems shall indicate if the vacuum in the area drops to or below 300 mm (12 in Hg).
