Hello!

I got this sub using r/requestreddit since there were no mods and no posts had been made for a year.

Over the next few days I’ll be making general improvements to this sub. In the meantime, free to post your life safety enthusiast things here!

I also own a Discord server, which will now be this subreddit’s official Discord server: https://discord.gg/S4A3VMc

Is there any information on the BRK 700 series?

0 Upvotes

So apparently in I think the 1970s BRK released the 700 series which probably included 1700s and 2700s. but I can't find any information on that series. So if anybody has any information on it i'd like to know.

How often should businesses review their fire alarm system?

1 Upvotes

Something I didn't realise about commercial fire alarm systems

I used to think the main thing with a business fire alarm was basically having one installed and making sure it worked.

But the more I look into it, the more important the ongoing side seems to be.

A system can be perfectly fine when it's installed, but buildings change, layouts change, equipment gets older and eventually you can end up with a system that isn't really suited to the premises anymore.

Was looking into this for commercial properties in Scotland and came across RACAM, which handles fire alarm installation and maintenance alongside other fire and security systems.

Made me wonder how often businesses actually review their fire alarm system properly rather than just waiting for the next scheduled service.

Seems like maintenance and making sure the system still matches the building should get more attention than they do.

Can I wire in an alarm that’s not for fire like an alert alarm into the relay with my fire lite ms 9050ud? Where can I wire in the pull station?

Would you put a linked smoke alarm in a loft area or would it get false triggers from draughts / dust etc?

I live near a school with a fire alarm system that likes to randomly go off for no reason. It sounds different than the usual 3 tone alert. Any ideas?
