The Fire Alarm System provides a means for notification of the
occupants of the building that evacuation is necessary. It can be
a manual system with pull stations for people to activate in the
event of an emergency or an automatic system which has automatic
smoke detectors throughout the building. An automatic alarm system
will activate automatically when smoke is detected.
The system may also include a public address system which can either
automatically activate a prerecorded voice message, or be used to
give specific directions to the occupants.
The fire alarm system includes an "annunciator
panel" which will indicate the source of the alarm.
Some older panels will only indicate a general "zone"
as the origin of the problem. The zone might cover an entire floor.
A new panel will indicate a particular device which has activated
the system.
