This document provides instructions for an experiment involving wiring and programming a fire alarm system. The objectives are to sketch and draw the layout of a fire alarm system using two initiating devices (heat detector and smoke detector), one signaling device (horn), and a control panel in one zone.
Addressable Device - A fire alarm system component with discreet identification that can have its status individually identified or that is used to individually control other functions. Analog Addressable Sensor - An initiating device that transmits a signal indicating varying

To summarize, the functions of control modules in fire alarm systems include: Supervising and monitoring connected devices and wiring. Programming device activations based on fire and emergency detection. Coordinating and centralizing control of the fire alarm system. Enabling communication with other systems.
This course is designed to provide you with a basic understanding of fire alarm system operation. At the conclusion of this course you will be able to: l Analyze the operation of relay controlled fire alarm systems during NORMAL conditions
A fire alarm system is intended to enable a fire to be detected at a sufficiently early stage so that people who are at risk can be made safe either by escaping from the fire, or by the fire being extinguished (also to prevent extensive property damage). Neither of these measures can be used until people are made aware of fire.
FIRE ALARM TERMS Addressable Control Device — A fire alarm system output device that, when operating with a compatible control unit, is used to turn on or off individual preselected electrical circuits such as audible or visible alarm notification appliances, fan circuits, door release circuits, etc.

Where is a fire alarm control panel located?
The fire alarm control panel is usually located in the electrical room of the building and can best be described as the 'brains' of a fire detection and alarm system. The fire control panel receives signals from initiating devices such as pull stations, heat detectors and smoke detectors.
