An FAS is a system consisting of components and circuits arranged to monitor and

initiate the appropriate response to these signals
The purpose of a FAS is to warn building occupants and transmit signals indicating

company
An FACP is a system component that monitors inputs and control outputs through
What is a FACP?
various circuits
The primary purpose is to process signals received from initiating devices and to
What is the primary purpose of FACP?
activate appropriate signals and outputs
What are the 3 types of signals initiated They are fire alarm signal, supervisory signal, and trouble signal
by FACP?
It's a signal initiated by a fire alarm initiating device like a manual fire alarm pull
What is a fire alarm signal? station, smoke detector, water flow switch, or other device in which activation is
indicative of presence of fire or fire signature
When fire signal is generated the FACP activates the building audible and visual
What happens when a fire signal is
