FIRE ALARM AND DETECTION SYSTEMS .
17-1.1
Provide fire alarm and detection systems in accordance with MIL -HDBK-
1008C.
17-1.2
Provide auxiliary power support for such systems in accordance with NFPA
72, Fire Alarm Systems, except that primary (non-rechargeable) batteries are not
authorized for use. If the fire alarm and detection system is installed in a facility
equipped with an auxi liary generator for supplying emergency lighting power (such as in
a hospital), design this system to also supply auxiliary power for the fire alarm and
detection system. If a central stationary battery provides emergency lighting power, this
system can s upply auxiliary power for the fire alarm and detection system. Design the
capacity of the selected auxiliary power source to include the fire alarm and detection
system load.

SECURITY SYSTEMS . Guidance for the design and installation of intrusion
detection, electronic entry control, and alarm assessment systems, where authorized, is
provided by the following sources:
MIL -HDBK-1013/1A, Design Guidelines for Physical Security of Facilities.
