The supervising circuit shall be provided with a trouble bell arranged to ring continuously in case of energy failure, an open circuit or a ground in the fire alarm circuit. The trouble bell shall be located so that, in the opinion of the fire commissioner, it will be within audible range of some responsible person in the building. The trouble bell circuit shall be provided with a silencing switch in such a manner that the act of silencing the bell by operation of the switch automatically and positively transfers the trouble bell to a red lamp near the trouble bell. Immediately adjoining each trouble bell, there shall be a sign clearly identifying it as a trouble bell. Where a standard fire alarm system has more than one trouble bell, each identification sign required by this section shall also indicate the portion of the system connected to each bell.
