Introduction
This Technical Specification describes the requirements for annunciation equipment used in
alarm receiving centres.
It does not cover the operation (e.g. organisation, manning, construction of the building) of an
alarm receiving centre.
The Technical Specification defines how messages, presented to the annunciation equipment
by the receiving centre transceiver, should be secured.
The requirements of this specification apply to all messages received from an alarm
transmission system used for fire alarm systems and any alarm system within the scope of
CENELEC TC 79 (e.g. intruder systems and social alarm systems and access control systems
and CCTV systems communicating with alarm receiving centres).
1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies the requirements and test procedures for annunciation
equipment located in an alarm receiving centre.
The annunciation equipment may be made up of one or more items of apparatus connected
together (e.g. computers, electronic cards in separate housings, displays, keypads, printers,
etc). The combination of the different apparatus is considered as one item of annunciation
equipment which shall conform to the requirements of this specification.
NOTE These requirements do not apply to annunciation equipment, made up of more than one piece of
apparatus, when one or more parts of the annunciation equipment are outside the alarm receiving centre at which
message acceptance will be performed.

4.7 Message acceptance
A means shall be provided to enable message acceptance. Message acceptance (of a
message being presented) shall stop the alert indication. Message acceptance shall remove
the message accepted from the message queue and allow the presentation of the next
message in the message queue (if any).
A means to measure the period of time between message acknowledgement and message
acceptance shall be provided. The time (which may be selectable by user) allowed between
message acknowledgement and message acceptance shall be specified by the manufacturer.
When this period is exceeded an alert indication shall be generated.
When the annunciation equipment provides a facility to set input priorities, a means to monitor
the period between message acknowledgement and message acceptance shall be provided
for each input priority. When the means to set the allowed period between message
acknowledgement and message acceptance is selectable, it shall be restricted to access
level 3.
4.8 Information to be presented
4.8.1 Information to be presented relating to messages
The following minimum information shall be presented prior to message acceptance, and shall
be available on demand:
a) the identity of the originating alarm system;
b) the type of messages (e.g. fire, intrusion);
c) the message content as specified in the manufacturers documentation. (e.g. alarm, fault,
set-unset date and time);
d) the date and time when the message was acknowledged by the annunciation equipment
(to the nearest minute);
e) the message priority level, when assigned, according to 4.5
NOTE 1 The type of messages can be included within the message content.
NOTE 2 Other information can be presented providing that this does not alter the presentation of information
relating to messages or to fault information.
4.8.2 Information to be presented relating to fault information

4.9 Coding of the presentation of information
The requirements EN 60073 shall be followed when designing facilities for the presentation of
information
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
CLC/TS 50136-4:2004 - 10 -
4.10 Failure of the means of presentation of information
In the event of total failure of the means of presentation of information, the annunciation
equipment shall no longer acknowledge incoming messages. A fault condition shall be
generated and an alert indication shall be activated.
NOTE The means of presentation of information can be shared with the log.
4.11 Logging
4.11.1 Log
All messages received by the annunciation equipment shall be logged with the date and time
of acknowledgement (to the nearest minute). All fault information and local information
generated within the annunciation equipment shall be logged, with the date and time (to the
nearest minute) when they were generated.
The log shall use means which retain data (messages and local information) in the event of a
total power loss (e.g. a printer or hard disk).
4.11.2 Alternative log
The annunciation equipment shall have an alternative log to record messages and local
information waiting to be logged and in the event of a failure of the normal Log.
The capacity of the alternative log shall be specified in the manufacturers documentation and
shall not be less than the capacity of the message queue.
An alert indication shall be provided when the alternative log is 90 % full.
NOTE When messages and local information are buffered before being logged, consideration should be given to
minimising the use of the buffer (e.g. by accelerating the logging process), in order to avoid the loss of information
or messages in the case of total log failure or power failure.
4.11.3 Failure of the log
In the event of failure of the log an alert indication shall be generated within 10 s following the
presentation by the receiving centre transceiver, to the annunciation equipment, of a message
which cannot be logged due to failure of the log.
In the event of a failure of the log occurring, message acknowledgement may continue using
the alternative log. When the alternative log is full, messages shall no longer be
acknowledged.
In the absence of any means of logging local information, resulting from the acceptance of
messages already in the message queue, a facility shall be provided to handle such
messages and make a manual record of message acceptance. Access to this facility shall be
restricted to access level 3.
4.12 Access levels
The annunciation equipment shall be provided with means to restrict access to its functions.
The manufacturer shall specify the means provided to restrict access and specify the
functions accessible at each access level (e.g. physical keys or logical passwords.)
Access to annunciation equipment functions shall be divided into a minimum of four levels as
specified below:
− access level 1: no authorisation required;
− access level 2 : enabling the operation of the annunciation equipment (e.g. message
acceptance);
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
- 11 - CLC/TS 50136-4:2004
− access level 3 : enabling access for configuration or modification of the configuration of
the annunciation equipment (e.g. disabling Alert Indication or setting input priorities);
− access level 4 : enabling access and for changing the hardware or software of the
annunciation equipment (e.g. modifications carried out by the manufacturer).
Access at level 4 shall be prevented until access has been permitted at level 3. Each access
level can be divided into several sub-levels, any such sub-access levels shall be described in
the manufacturers documentation.
Operation of the annunciation equipment shall require each user to log-on at the appropriate
access level and to log-off when operation is finished.
The logging on and off of users and all changes of passwords (if provided) shall be recorded
in the log.
A means shall be provided, at access level 3, to identify users and their related access levels.
Means shall also be provided to edit users and their access levels and modify passwords.
Modification of passwords shall be restricted to the users of those passwords.
4.13 Access to annunciation equipment
The access to the functions of message acceptance and presentation of information shall be
restricted to access level 2.
4.14 Access to annunciation equipment configuration data
When the annunciation equipment includes configuration data, the access to the data shall be
authorised by appropriate access levels.
Means shall be provided to consult and modify the system data.
Consultation of configuration data shall require access at level 2.
Modification of configuration data shall require access at level 3.
All modification to configuration shall be logged (e.g. entering or changing passwords).
4.15 Access to log data
A means shall be provided to access the log data. Access to the log data, to back-up the data
for long term storage, shall be restricted to access level 3.
Means shall be provided to minimise possibility of the log data being modified or deleted. The
means provided shall resist attempts to modify or delete log data for a minimum of 1 h.
4.16 Monitoring of interconnection with the receiving centre transceiver
The annunciation equipment shall monitor the interconnection with the receiving centre
transceiver. The means of monitoring provided and the type of failure to be detected shall be
described in the manufacturers documentation (e.g. short or open circuit). As a minimum, the
physical interruption of the interconnection shall be recognised and detected.
In the event of a failure of the interconnection, fault information shall be generated and
presented within 90 s. The alert indication shall operate within 90 s.
Messages shall not be acknowledged when a fault exists in the interconnection between the
annunciation equipment and the receiving centre transceiver.
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
CLC/TS 50136-4:2004 - 12 -
When the receiving centre transceiver is located outside the alarm receiving centre where the
annunciation equipment is installed, the interconnection shall not affect the grades of the
associated alarm transmission system as defined in Tables 1,2,3 and 4 of EN 50136-1-1.
4.17 Power supply
Power to the annunciation equipment may be provided by an internal or external power
source. In either case the power source shall consist of a prime power source and an
alternative power source. In the event of a failure of the prime power source, local fault
information shall be presented within 90 s and the alert indication shall activate. The
annunciation equipment shall switch to the alternative power source, the changeover between
the primary and alternative power sources shall not adversely influence the operation of the
annunciation equipment. The alternative power source shall have sufficient capacity to
operate the annunciation equipment for a minimum of 30 min.
