17 - Sprinkler Systems (con't) - Introduction to Fire Alarms

I'm explaining how fire alarm systems work for new technicians or other employees who deal with these systems. This is my 17th video in a string of many Khan Academy-styled lessons. This video is a continuation of the previous video and is describing how sprinkler systems are monitored by fire alarm panels.

I have a question if you wouldn't mind. Let's assume the panel doesn't have supervisory capabilities. If there was more than one VT on the same zone, would they all be wired C/NC with the EOL in series on the last tamper?

[@Hawksfan3986]

It was bothering me that I couldn't figure it out so I asked the tech I was working with. I got it now 😁

Try to skip the details and simply say that when this occurs it triggers the FACP or it will be confusing. I like the material very much. Thanks.

@@JoeKlochan Hey Joe,
Thanks for the helpful information. Did you make a video about FM 200 or do you have any plans?

@@JoeKlochan So, what does a dispatcher do upon receiving a message on a central server saying that a panel somewhere in town has gone into supervisory?
