While it increases complexity, it aims to ensure that fire safety measures work together in the most efficient way to provide protection and safety to occupants.
However, system interfacing is often set up badly and is poorly understood by those who are designing, installing, and maintaining these systems or assessing their performance.
In this webinar we’ll examine the issues that can arise between systems, how we must design the interface to provide compliance and integrity, and how they might be managed in systems that are already installed.
Objective/deliverables:
Insights
into where interfaces can be found and how best to manage and assess them.
Key takeaways:
- What is a Fire Detection Alarm System (FDAS)?
- What are interfaces? What is their purpose?
- How should they be designed/installed to meet integrity and ‘fitness for purpose’ requirements to adequately offset risk.
- Some of the areas discussed will include:
- Warning system interfaces
- Wet system interfaces
- Mechanical system interfaces
- Other systems and baseline data
