What is a Fire Alarm System?

n
The main purpose of a fire alarm system is to protect life and property by giving early warning of a fire, so that the occupants can evacuate and/or the Fire Department can respond. A system must be able to detect the initiation of a fire condition, but also notify someone such as emergency personnel, the ocupants of the facility, or both.

PROPER WIRING TERMINATIONS FOR HARDWIRED CIRCUITS

FIRE
Pg. 72-99
Annex G
FIRE
FIRE
Shielding
Most digital communication ckts require a twisted shielded pair (TSP) of wires. Shielding usually consist of a foil shield and a drain wire which is in continuous contact with the foil. Shielding prevents cross-talk between other circuits run next to the cable, shields against EMI or RFI noise or interference that could be induced from the surroundings and helps to prevent the shielded circuit from emitting noise that could interfere with other circuits.
FIRE
Shielding
1.
When joints or connections are made, as little of the cable as possible should be stripped back so that only a small amount of the wiring will be unshielded. The shield must be continuous throughout the ckt. In other words, the drain (shield) wires must be tied together with a good mechanical bond at every cable joint or splice.
2.
FIRE
Shielding
1.
The shield MUST be isolated from ground throughout the ckt. Usually this is done with electrical tape but it may be done with heat shrink. The shield is only tied to a signal ground at one point (usually at the control panel). This signal ground is sometimes earth ground and sometimes 0V or system common. . Grounds at more than one point on the shield can cause ground loops. This may create more noise than having no shield at all.
