This is a very basic question, but I need a basic explanation of how power is distributed throughout a standard fire alarm system. I know that constant AC power runs to the fire alarm control panel, but the rest I am not sure about. I know that initiating devices and notification appliances (i.e. inputs and outputs) are located throughout the zone/building. I do not know how they are connected to one another. More specifically, what type of cabling? The system would use use general power-limited cable and power-limited riser cable. Does anyone have any basic feedback regarding the wiring layout. Thank you guys..
