Can anyone help me? I need a little fire alarm 101....I have a small job that is on the finish stage and it has a fire alarm.....Looks like all I have to do is install the equipment...It looks like there is a panel, strobe, smokes, bell, a flow switch and 2 other things on valves near the flow switch( Im guessing some sorta tamper device).....
 
I am not quite following you, is it already installed, on site or yet to be ordered?

Yes the sprinkler valves should have tamper switches.

Have the conductors been run?

Do you know if it is a hardwired zone system or an addressable device system?

Looks like everthing is in a box waiting to go up...All the wire have been run(hopefully)....Today was me first day out there and I had other things to figure out..

I strongly suggest you get someone who is already knowledgeable with FA systems to help you. FA systems are not difficult to understand and wire by any means, but they do have some special requirements and some quirky things that you need to understand before proceeding.
