Fire Alarm Systems FAQ

What does a fire alarm system consist of?

A typical fire alarm system includes control panels, power supplies, addressable detectors/initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, waterflow/tamper), notification appliances (horns, strobes, speakers for voice evacuation), control/monitor modules, annunciation, and communications to a supervising station—all installed and programmed to a documented sequence of operations for effective fire detection.

What are the types of fire alarm systems?

Two primary architectures: conventional systems (zoned wiring, better for small/simple buildings) and addressable fire alarm systems (each device has a unique address for faster pinpointing and scalable networking). Siemens provides both, including Cerberus PRO and Desigo Fire Safety addressable fire alarm system portfolios.

How often should a fire alarm system be tested?

Follow NFPA 72 and AHJ requirements. Most facilities perform a comprehensive annual test of their fire alarm systems with interim (monthly/quarterly) checks on specific components (batteries, notification devices, etc.). Frazier sets your schedule to meet code, manufacturer specs, and insurance needs for fire alarms.

When are fire alarm systems required?

Requirements come from your adopted building and fire codes (IBC/IFC as amended by Georgia) and local AHJ. Examples include most commercial occupancies, education, assembly, healthcare, multi-unit residential, and special hazards. Frazier confirms applicability during the code review phase and designs accordingly. (Georgia rulemaking references NFPA 72 for fire alarm systems.)

What is a central fire alarm system?

Often used to describe a fire alarm system connected to a central (supervising) station that monitors alarm, trouble, and supervisory signals and dispatches responders. Your fire alarm panel communicates via listed pathways (e.g., cellular/IP). Siemens fire alarm systems support these communications and detailed event reporting.
