The Fire Panel Forums

Here’s a stand-alone pizza place at Disney Springs that has a voice system. The panel is a Siemens FireFinder XLS. You’d think they would have used a Cerberus Pro FV922, given the small size of the building, but...

It's probably a sprinkler alarm.

If the beeping has stopped, that means the trouble was acknowledged.

Many annunciators display information across multiple "pages" - after a few seconds it displays the next page, and so on.

A trouble indication for a specific device usually means that communication was lost between the panel and that device. This can be caused by damaged wiring.

In some Targets, the guest service area is L-shaped and not fully visible from public areas.

I think it's a good idea if this forum had a "No politics" rule. We already have such a rule informally , but I think it should be officially written in the rules. No matter how well-intentioned, discussing politics online all too often turns into a massive flame war that no sprinkler system could e...

It's happened.

when given the option between suffocating in toxic smoke and being more likely to contract COVID when you're packed close together for five to six minutes, I'd gladly take the latter. 100% agreed! That being said, anyone who's at high risk of serious illness from COVID-19 should consider various ci...
