12 DESCRIPTION OF WORK
‘This section covers the work ofthe public adress system as required by the
Contract.
‘The public address system shall be used to provide backercund musi,
public announcements and evacuation
‘The public address system shall be also used to broadcast paging live
messages and mute the Background Music (BGM).
Voice evacuation messages shall be broadcasted by the project Public
Adress system using the appropriate hardware and softwae modules
required for interfacing between the Fire Alarm and the Public Address
systems
Interface equipment shall be included in the publi address system 10
