- Abstract
- This paper describes a new development in telephone engineering that provides two vital fire fighting functions--annunciation of smoke detectors by individual location, and one way voice communication to remote sections of buildings by zone or all-call using existing standard telepone equipment. This development creates an opportunity for advanced fire systems features to be put in place quickly and at low cost since most structures already have complete telephone system wiring and standard station line telephones throughout the building.
