switch trip coil and as much of the associated tripping I wires as possible. The scheme shall be to approval. Annunciated alarms and indications shall be by lamps illuminating a legend, and shall operate from the station battery specified. The " annunciation's shall be grouped, each group containing the alarms and indications associated with the particular switch gear concerned. Each group of alarms shall be provided with pushbuttons for " Accept", "Re- set" and "Lamp Test". The enunciator units shall respond to persistent and transient alarms as prescribed in the following Table.

The lettering should show white on a dark background or black on an illuminated background. In the former case the amber or red shall show as a bar of approximately 3 mm below the inscription. Where it is desired to include fire alarms in an enunciator group the facia. At each station a lockable switch shall be provided which will enable supplies to audible and visual alarms to be interrupted when the station I unattended. The switch shall not interfere with the storage of alarms. In addition a common audible alarm accept button shall be provided on the common control panel. Facilities shall be available to enable the whole alarm and indication Equipment to work into a Remote Supervisory system.The provision of potential free repeat alarm contacts on the enunciators units. Where feeder protection requiring a supply from a voltage transformer device is installed, approved means shall be provided to give indication of failure of the voltage from the voltage transformer. Means shall be provided for indicating the failure of normal alarm supplies. The means of indicating such a failure shall be subject to approval. 3.5 INDICATING LAMPS: Indicating lamps and lamp holders shall be arranged so that replacement of lamps and the cleaning of glasses and reflectors employed can be readily effected. To reduce heating and fouling of the panels, lamps, which are continuously alight, shall have the minimum consumption consistent with good visibility of indications in a brightly-lit room. Indicating lamp glasses on control and relay panels, shall conform to the following standard color code:Red Green White Amber . . . . .. .. .. .. Device closed Device open Indications normally alight Alarm indications

3.6 SYNCHRONIZING APPARATUS: In each circuit equipped with an electrical]y operated circuit-breaker and for which synchronizing apparatus is specified, connections between 1 the specified control point or points and the coil of the circuit-breaker , shall be made through a synchronizing selection arrangement, so that is impossible to close the circuitbreaker until the appropriate synchronizing selection arrangement is made. A switch shall be provided with each synchro-scope to enable it to be disconnected and the voltmeters left in circuit. The connections of regulating voltmeters shall be arranged so that they are connected in circuit by means of the synchronizing selection arrangement of any panel equipped with synchronizing voltage transformer.
