Information About Mounting Alarms

Regarding liability concerns, I recommend reading these topics:

Legal to have a hobby system.

Hi Again! I was wondering if it’s legal for me to build my own hobby system and if I could wire it myself or do I need to get a professional to do it.

What kind of cable can I use?

I just bought 500 feet of 22/4 security system cable. Is this fine to use in a fire alarm system (for actual life safety) or not?

Hardwiring Questions

Alright, so I have some questions before I prepare the hardwiring for my hopefully new panel tomorrow. 1) Can the Ground cable be bare? 2) If I make direct contact to ground while the house power is on, can it hurt me in any way? and number 3) When wiring a panel, can I run 120V through the panel but in a corner. I had someone tell me it was bad etiquette but I cannot really run the wires else where. If anyone can answer these, that would be great, thanks!
