38、N WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover the individual units that comprise a home health care system intended for use in ordinary indoor residential locations. 1.2 These requirements also cover a complete home health care system in which a signal initiating dev

39、ice (both routine monitoring and medical emergency signals) may be connected directly or indirectly to receiving equipment at a residence or to continuously monitored receiving equipment at a central supervising station. The system is arranged so that a predetermined change in the status of the sign

40、al initiating circuits or devices automatically causes transmission of a signal over a communication channel to receiving equipment at a residence, to a central supervising station, or to a private telephone number. 1.3 The components of the home health care system may include signal initiating devi

41、ces, control units, transmitters, and digital communicators, all located at the residence, and the receiving, processing, and displaying equipment located at the central supervising station. 1.4 All eld wiring extending to signal initiating units located at the residence is intended to be energized

42、from power limited circuits as dened in 3.3 (c). 1.5 The units covered by these requirements are intended to be installed in accordance with the requirements of: a) The National Electrical Code, NFPA 70; b) Other applicable installation codes; and c) The local inspection authority having jurisdictio

43、n. 1.6 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves, a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component an

44、d end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the acceptable level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard cannot b

45、e judged to comply with this standard. Where considered appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard. 1.7 Where a unit employs residential re alarm functions, it shall compl

46、y with the Standard for Household Fie Warning System Units, UL 985. Where a unit employs household burglar alarm functions, it shall comply with the Standard for Household Burglar-Alarm System Units, UL 1023. A unit utilizing non-re and/or non-carbon monoxide emergency and/or non-emergency signaling

47、 functions shall meet the requirements of the Standard for General Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, UL 2017.

48、 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.1.2, a component of a unit covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the units covered by this standard. 2.1.2 A component need not comply wit

49、h a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not needed in the application of the component in the unit covered by this standard or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its recognized rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are recognized as being incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited con
