Fire alarm help

[Welshsparky]

Hi ive been asked to install a fire alarm ( sounders,breakglasses and detectors, The panel is a bi-wire, supposedly you can wire also wire sounders on the smoke/breakglass zone, Is this correct? As ive only ever wired panels were sounders are on seperate circuits

Regards

Yes you can, sounders are usually wired reverse polarity from what you might expect.

Automatically actuated devices can take many forms intended to respond to any number of detectable physical changes associated with fire: convected thermal energy; heat detector, products of combustion; smoke detector, radiant energy; flame detector, combustion gasses; carbon monoxide detector and release of extinguishing agents; water-flow detector. The newest innovations can use cameras and computer algorithms to analyze the visible effects of fire and movement in applications inappropriate for or hostile to other detection methods.
