Evacuation alert system separation from other systems
The evacuation alert system must be independent and not integrated with fire alarm systems or other building systems, and only evacuation alert devices may be connected to it.
An evacuation alert system is not, and should not be confused with, a fire alarm system. The EAS should not be integrated with a fire detection and fire alarm system (or any other system), nor should any devices (such as fire detectors), other than evacuation alert devices, be connected to the EAS.
