What are the AS 1670.1 requirements for smoke detection for activation of smoke control systems?

Can I have smoke detection and smoke control I/O on the same transmission path?

Whose responsibility is it to provide the phase fail / reversal relay in the mechanical switchboard?

Seek guidance or improve you knowledge by listening to the guidance provided

Have you ever been in a situation where you have needed to ask someone for some detailed technical advice, for a second opinion or for some guidance on the National Construction Code or its referenced documents (i.e. Australian Standard and the like)?

However, you do not know or cannot access a person to provide this guidance to you. This webinar forum may provide you this opportunity to obtain the guidance you need.

Alternatively, you may just want to join in and listen to the questions and responses provided to obtain continuing professional development and increase your knowledge of this system. You may also hear questions and responses on issues, interpretation of requirements and the like that you may not have previously been fully aware of.

Being part of this webinar and listening to guidance provided can be used as a part of your continuing professional development.

Please remember, that if you are seeking clarification or knowledge on a particular matter, it is likely that other people would also benefit from this.

Through this webinar forum, FPA Australia is providing you an opportunity to seek a response from an industry expert in the field of the above topic. FPA Australia will be using several industry experts to review and assist in answering the questions.
