Basic Circuit Design Self Guided Online Course

This self-paced online course covers the basic concepts of wiring schemes for fire alarm systems. Wireless systems are not discussed, as they represent only a small percentage of fire alarm system installations. The fire alarm circuit wiring serves as a key factor in the ability of a fire alarm system to work correctly.

Upon completion you should be able to:

• Explain the difference between "power limited" and "non-power limited" categories of system wiring
• List the three basic types of fire alarm circuits: initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits
• Understand that these circuits can be wired as Class A or B, depending upon the system objectives and recommendations from the authority having jurisdiction
• Discuss supervision and monitoring, as a function of how the system is wired and the components that are used
• Explain when and why T-tapping can be allowed

Who Will Benefit:
Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating or installing fire protection systems, including: designers, installers, engineers, electrical contractors, technicians, project managers, fire marshals, and architects.
