NEMA/FLSS Fire Alarm Control Panel Basics

This video dives into the brains of a fire alarm system, formerly known as Fire Alarm Control Panels, now referred to as Fire Alarm Control Units. This webinar will review the various components of fire alarm control units and how they supervise and control the various connected devices. The Fire Alarm Control Unit can give the incident commander great situational awareness of a working fire in a building.

Today board member Dan Finnegan of the FLSS joins Chief King and O’Brian on a tour of what a typical FACU layout is, what the key components are and how we as a user interact with it.

In addition to serving the FLSS Dan Finnegan is a key member of The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) is the principal trade group representing US-based manufacturers of electrical products and systems and medical imaging technology.
