The use of narrow band tone signaling to achieve audible notification in loud environments has been permitted in the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code® since the 2002 edition yet is rarely used. This presentation will cover the concepts behind narrow band tone signaling; an examination of the associated code requirements and a review of the design input information required to utilize the approach. A case study will be used to provide an in-depth look at several real-world challenges encountered where the technique was applied in an industrial environment.

This presentation will feature the following learning objectives:

• What advantages does the narrow band tone signaling approach offer over other more traditional methods for designing audible notification systems.
• What are the NFPA 72 requirements for applying narrow band tone signaling.
• How does A-weighted total sound pressure levels differ from octave band sound pressure levels.
• Identify the required design input information needed to complete a audible system design utilizing narrow band tone signaling.
