Overview
This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above).

In An Introduction to the National Fire Alarm Code , you'll learn ...

  • The basic components of fire alarm systems
  • The codes and standards that govern fire protection
  • Specific functions and performance aspects of the various fire alarm components and systems
  • How to inspect, test, and maintain fire alarm systems
  • Plus much more

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.
