Fire Alarm Design Cheatsheet Example

The document provides an overview and notes for a fire alarm system for an example project. It includes information on the system type, codes and standards followed, locations of initiation and notification devices, monitoring requirements, and interactions with other building systems. The system will be an addressable, voice evacuation fire alarm system designed to NFPA 72-2013 standards and monitored by a central station. It will include smoke detectors, manual pull stations, and strobes throughout the building.
