Basic Signal and Circuit Means Self Guided Online Course

This self-paced online course covers the types of signals that are transmitted through a fire alarm system. Because they also serve other functions as well, these systems might be more appropriately titled today protective signaling systems.

Upon completion you should be able to:

• Understand and define monitoring for integrity, being UL listed, supervising station, initiating device circuits, signaling line circuits, and notification appliance circuits
• Explain how monitoring for integrity is accomplished in signaling line circuits, notification appliance circuits, and initiating device circuits
• Differentiate between alarm, supervisory and trouble signals
• Explain the purpose and requirements for a dedicated function fire alarm system
• Explain the differences between a signaling line circuit and an initiating device circuit
• Explain "latching" in reference to fire alarm signals
• Determine when a remote annunciator panel is provided
• Determine when off-premises signal transmission is required

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.
