This course explains the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) as it relates to minimum levels of required performance, design criteria for fire alarm systems (based upon building occupancy), fire alarm system components, system essentials, testing, maintenance, and system acceptance.
In this course you'll learn how to interpret the National Fire Alarm Code and determine its applicability and retroactivity.
We will take a thorough look at the application, installation, performance, and maintenance of fire alarm systems and their components. Special attention will be given to the different types of fire alarm system components, such as initiating devices, notification devices, annunciation panels, fire alarm control units (FACP), and system wiring requirements.
We will also discuss power supplies, mechanical protection, secondary power supply requirements, and calculating system capacities.
