A control panel shall be provided for the control of all fans and dampers associated with the life safety system and be located in the fire control room. Control shall be achieved by three position switches (on, off, and automatic). The on position shall be the manual on position, the off position shall be the manual off position and the automatic position will put into operation, automatically, all necessary fans and dampers necessary for the smoke removal system. These switches shall control the following:
A. Every supply fan system;
B. Every return/exhaust fan system;
C. Every supply damper zone;
D. Every return/exhaust damper zone.
No other control switches are permitted with these fans or dampers. Switches shall be kept in the automatic position to allow automatic operation of the engineered smoke management system. No. switches or devices shall be capable of overriding the controls for the fans or dampers, while in emergency mode, except those located in the fire control room. The foregoing notwithstanding, the disconnect switches required by the National Electric Code shall be installed. (Prior code §§ 9.28.1255, 15.13.1309)
