I have a relatively small conference room; holds maybe a couple dozen people, with what I assume is some type of microphone system (I'm working on finding out exactly what it is), and the inspector wants me to tie in a Fire Alarm control module such that it is overridden in the event of a fire alarm
I believe this is required of PA systems certainly in schools and possibly office buildings, but in a conference room?
Perhaps relevant in this case is the fact that the conference room is on the 10th floor (so a high rise) of a hospital, specifically within the Neo-Natal Intensive Care unit.
Is this addressed in any of the relevant codes or is it a judgement call? and/or does it come down to the 15dB over ambient and the fact that if someone is on a microphone that contributes to the ambient. But here again, that would be more a judgement call than a specific requirement.
