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

The main function of the initiation portion of a fire alarm system is to report the status of a protected space or the existence of a fire. The components include all devices and circuits that send a signal to a fire alarm control unit (FACU) such as heat detectors, smoke detectors, carbon
A control module is a vital component of a fire alarm system, responsible for the supervision and monitoring of various devices and circuits. It works hand in hand with the fire alarm control panel, providing centralized control and monitoring capabilities.
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.

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.
