No. The FBC is very specific about the locations of the Control Panel and the Annunciator Panel. The Control Panel must be in the EHPA manger’s office and the Annunciator Panel in or near the Administration area. The reasoning is very simple. With the Control Panel in the EHPA Manager’s Office, the manager will always be able to tell if a problem exists anywhere in the school. If the Control Panel was located outside of the EHPA area and a problem caused the Panel to become non-responsive, the people in the EHPA would be in an unprotected area. With the Control Panel in the EHPA, a problem that causes another area or building to be non-responsive would not leave the EHPA unprotected.
