Notes:
1) While this document does not address the performance aspects of signaling
equipment it does specify requirements for the electrical safety of these devices,
including functional safety.
2) Devices that generate radio frequency signals may also be subject to the
requirements of Industry Canada.
This Standard covers equipment that performs a sensing and/or signaling function
to convey alarm, trouble, status, or event-based information to the user and any
subsequent associated activation function. The signal equipment may be stand
alone or a part of a larger system. Signaling may employ wired or wireless means.
Note: The equipment can employ audible, visual, motion, or other signaling means
such as chimes, gongs, lights, and displays.
This Standard applies to energy management equipment including sensing, mon-
itoring, and actuation devices. The requirements also apply to home automation
systems. The signal sensing components meeting the requirement of this Standard
can be included in a smart grid application for energy management, other than for
industrial applications.
This Standard applies to components that monitor and control activity, and which
are:
a) are inter-connected in a wireless sensor network (WSN) in a local network;
b) communicate with local devices that are either wired or wireless.
This Standard also applies to equipment powered by an energy limited Class 2
power supply.
Lighting photo relay systems, stand alone or incorporated within a luminaire, and
evaluated as a combination in the final application are within the scope of this
Standard.
