power. There shall be not less than a 10% supply of extra batteries maintained
at the facility at all times for the total number of battery-operated devices
in the facility.
(3) In existing
small facilities, fire detection systems that are approved before these rules
take effect shall continue to be approved until the facility or a portion
thereof is remodeled or converted. When the facility or a portion thereof is
remodeled or converted, fire detection shall be, at a minimum, as required by
this rule for the newly constructed, remodeled, or converted facilities in that
portion of the facility that is remodeled or converted. Existing fire detection
