This comprehensive guide to the design, installation, maintenance, testing, and use of fire alarm systems has been reorganized to present facts in the order needed by most pros. Other improvements -- such as separate groupings for system inputs, systems outputs, system functions, and general requirements -- make it the most user-friendly edition of NFPA 72 ever published!
It's still the only ANSI-accredited document for fire alarm systems installation.
Designers, installers, AHJs, and maintenance personnel depend on the Code as the most reliable source for safety guidelines, up-to-date technology, and industry practices. The new rules include:
New requirement to synchronize the temporal-three standard evacuation signal within a notification zone
Increased audibility requirements for emergency voice/alarm communications systems
New qualification requirements for fire alarm systems designers
There's a separate chapter for public fire reporting systems, and new worksheets for the streamlined Appendix B, Engineering Guide for Spacing of Automatic Fire Detectors. An important new permissive facilitates your work with integrated building systems network protocols such as BACnet or LONworks.
Get the facts you need to pass inspections and keep fire alarm systems in top working condition!
