Ummmm.... What?
No. This is a matter of choice. Since it is an added expense, we would only quote it as an option or if required by the job specs. And I've never heard it applied to anything other than A/V's.
nhfire77:
Devices installed so they are supplied by separate circuits to the FACP. A/V's in a long hallway:
----A----B----A----B----A----B----
Where all "A's" are tied together separately from all the "B's" which are tied together. The "A's" go back to NAC 1 and the "B's" go back to NAC 2. The theory is that if one of the NAC's fails for whatever reason, you are at least partially covered by the other NAC.
Anyone know of a good book/video where I can learn more about fire alarm systems/wiring? Thanks.
Since you have no installation experience (right?)
This is a good book. Hopefully you've walked a few jobs during the rough in so you'll have the visual experience to understand the concepts. Its not cheap though
