Presentation: Fire Alarm Circuit Survivability

This program will provide an overview of the different codes that require “survivability”, the systems required by code to have survivable wiring and methods that can be used to meet “survivability”. The requirements discussed will form the IBC, IFC, the NEC and ASME A17.1. The program will provide some insight into the costs differences in the proposed solutions.
