point should not be disabled unless it is clearly understood that fire detection or security for the
area of the building covered by that point would be lost. Appropriate steps must be taken to
provide alternate means of protecting the area of the building covered by the disabled point.
Repair or replace the failed device or circuit as soon as possible. Once repaired, the disabled
