automatically display a customised graphic showing e.g. where in the building(s) the alarm
originates from.

9. The alarm handling system must provide a buffer to enable 400 alarms to queue up pending
action, totally independent of the OWS. In the day to day operation, all displays shall always

number of unacknowledged alarms in the system on the screen. As it is anticipated that
several alarms will utilise alarm action messages, these alarms action messages shall be
printed only, to leave the VDU screen clear. It shall be possible to have alarms printed out on
any or all of up to eight connected printers, depending on priority, class, category and time.

temperature. The Direct Digital Controller (DDC) shall control the temperature by modulating
the two-way chilled water control valve in the cooling coil. Whenever the return air
temperature rises above its set point the cooling coil control valve shall be modulated to

air flow switch in the discharge air stream.

A static pressure sensor, located downstream from the supply fan will maintain the desired
static pressure in the supply duct by varying the speed of the supply fan via the frequency
converter. The desired static pressure shall be adjustable.

A duct mounted, discharged air temperature sensor shall, through the DDC controller,
maintain the designed air supply temperature to the remote variable terminal units by
modulating the two-way chilled water control valve in the cooling coil. Whenever the
discharge air temperature rises above its set point the cooling coil valve shall be modulated
to open. The DDC shall monitor continuously the return air temperature. At high return air
temperature, an alarm shall be initiated and to be acknowledged by the BAS Operator. The
return air temperature sensor shall override the supply air temperature sensor and modulate
the chilled water control valve to maintain the designed returned air temperature. The
