Fire Alarm Systems for Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems

This class focuses on Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems, highlighting their four main types: Single Interlock Electrical Releasing, Single Interlock Pneumatic Releasing, Double Interlock Electric/Pneumatic, and Double Interlock Pneumatic/Pneumatic. The class underscores that the valve remains consistent while the trim distinguishes them. It explores the rationale for using Pre-Action Systems, especially in scenarios where sprinkler protection is required without water pre-existing in the pipes, or in environments with low temperatures or high-value assets. Additionally, the class delves into the integration of Fire Alarm Systems for Releasing Service, emphasizing that the alarm panel must be Listed for Releasing Service, and the solenoid must be compatible. It discusses necessary wiring supervision, manual disconnect switches, and the importance of a properly designed and installed detection system, detailing alarm initiation and supervisory devices commonly found in Pre-Action Systems.
