Some of you may know that a popular site for finding documentation on fire / life safety equipment has been down for quite some time. I have gathered up every alarm PDF I could possibly find and loaded them up somewhere for everyone to find and search. I threw this together today, it’s simple and honestly isn’t great, but I wanted to get something out there for people to find the PDFs they’re looking for in a somewhat easy way: https://docs.thefirepanel.com/
There is something MUCH better in the works, but that will take some time. When that is ready, it will be a much bigger announcement than this.
Help! I am looking for a PROGRAMMING manual for the Kidde/Thorne (from the 1980’s) and now called Grinnell fire alarm panel Model KDR-1000 and have not found a copy. I have seen the instruction/installation sheet and specs but our electrician needs more. I have already contacted Kidde without success; Thorne is no longer in business. Before I contact Grinnell, I thought ask here. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if I could contribute the SP100 and V400 series on there. I noticed some things not there and some things that are there. The MASS series was there but I could help with documentation for the speaker strobes that are apart of the MASS series. I found documentation for the SP100s and V400Rs on the wayback machine on a newpaper fire safety article from the 90s.
If you can upload them or email them to me at [email protected] sure! Otherwise, you may want to consider uploading to https://facpmanuals.com/ as well. The guy running that is doing just about everything I wanted to do with the docs site but never had the time to build it out.
I really appreciate the support and resources the Fire Panel community has shared, especially from TheAlmightyZach. My manual archive is not as expansive as docs.thefirepanel.com, but I will keep adding to it and tagging everything (type of document, model numbers included in the manual, year, etc.) to make the search as user friendly as possible. The site is still a work in progress and I am always open to suggestions. Thanks again to everyone here for being so supportive and encouraging.
