Fire Alarm Circuit Classes2007 NFPA 72, 6.4.2.1 Class. Initiating device circuits, notification appliancecircuits, and signaling line circuits shall be permitted to be designated as eitherClass A or Class B, depending on their performance during nonsimultaneoussingle circuit fault conditions as specified by the following:(1) Initiating device circuits and signaling line circuits that transmit an alarm orsupervisory signal, or notification appliance circuits that allow all connecteddevices to operate during a single open or a nonsimultaneous single groundfault on any circuit conductor, shall be designated as Class A(2) Initiating device circuits and signaling line circuits that do not transmit analarm or supervisory signal, or notification appliance circuits that do not allowall connected devices to operate beyond the location of a single open on anycircuit conductor, shall be designated as Class B2007 NFPA 72, 6.4.2.2. An open or ground fault condition shall result in theannunciation of a trouble signal at the protected premise within 200 seconds asrequired in 4.4.7

Additional Fire Alarm TerminologyAddressable Device - A fire alarm system component with discreet identification that canhave its status individually identified or that is used to individually control other functions.Analog Addressable Sensor - An initiating device that transmits a signal indicating varyingdegrees of condition as contrasted with a conventional or addressable initiating device, whichcan only indicate an off/on condition.Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) - A circuit or path between any combination of circuit interfaces,control units, or transmitters over which multiple system input signals or out put signals orboth are carried.SLC Interface - A system component that connects a signaling line circuit to anycombination of initiating devices, initiating device circuits, notification appliances,notification appliance circuits, system control outputs and other signaling linecircuits.Protocol - A language for communicating between control panels and their proprietary devices.

Comparing System TypesTo better understand today’s newer technology, a firm understanding of the types of systemsavailable is necessary. The three most popular types of systems installed today are: Conventional Addressable Analog AddressableConventional Systems Conventional control panels range in size from 1 zoneto over 100 zones.Zones typically consist of some or all of the initiatingdevices in an area or floor of a building.Some control panels zone capacity is expandablewhile others are not, limiting its usefulness if a facilityadds additional buildings or rooms.

Zone Considerations 2007 NFPA 72 6.8.5.5.2 Limits the number of waterflowswitches in a single zone to 5. 2007 NFPA 72 6.8.5.6.2 Limits the number ofsupervisory devices in a single zone to 20. 2007 NFPA 72 Annex A.4.4.6.6 Suggests that themaximum number of square feet in a single zone belimited to no more than 22,500.

Addressable Systems FACP An addressable systems point capacity isdetermined by the amount of SLC “SignalingLine Circuits” it contains.Each SLC circuit provides power,communication, & supervision for all of thedevices connected to it.Each SLC can accommodate over 100addressable devices, depending upon themanufacturer.

Analog AddressableFeatures An analog addressable control panel is capable ofseveral enhanced features not available on conventional,and some addressable systems. Drift Compensation / Maintenance Alert Adjustable Detector Sensitivity Day/Night Detector Sensitivity Adjustment U.L. Calibrated Sensitivity Test Instrument

Drift Compensation Drift compensation is the process by which an analogaddressable control panel automatically adjusts ananalog detectors alarm threshold to compensate forcontaminants such as dust.This ensures the detector maintains a consistentsensitivity level, helping to avoid false alarms due todirty detectors.

Maintenance Alert Drift compensation occurs until it is nearing a pointwhere it can no longer compensate and remain withinU.L. requirements. This point is called “MaintenanceAlert”Some systems handle a maintenance alert condition asa trouble while others flag the condition only, andcontinue to operate normally.

Calibration Trouble A detector in a maintenance alert condition willeventually go into calibration trouble if not serviced.A detector in calibration trouble is not functioningcorrectly and requires service immediately.

Adjustable (Day/Night)Sensitivity In order to allow for varying environmental conditions orto provide quicker detection, analog systems typicallyallow you to change the sensitivity of a detector within arange of U.L. tolerances. This is typically made user friendly by giving the installerchoices such as high-medium-low.
