REMOTE ZONE ANNUNCIATORS

When installing an automated fire protection system in large or elaborate buildings, the installation of a remote zone annunciator can also be an effective way to minimize damage to property. Remote zone annunciators should be conveniently located in an area where fire safety personnel will likely first access the building. These annunciators are put in place to assist fire safety personnel and remote administration to understand the approximate areas that are affected by a fire hazard. Once these critical personnel are made aware of the effected areas of a building, they can begin to formulate a firefighting plan that will maximize safety, fire extinguishing success, and reduce the likelihood of a total asset loss. Remote zone annunciators typically are equipped with the following supplementary equipment:

• Lamps
• Alarms
• Fire zone indicating interface
• Warning system to indicate any failures, if applicable
