  • Description

    Get an up-to-date, comprehensive introduction to fire alarm circuits, fire alarm power circuits and pathways, plus NFPA 72® and NEC® requirements.

    A key component of the 2019 edition of NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code®, Fire Alarm Circuits and Pathways covers the various types of circuits used for fire detection and alarm systems. Working online at your own pace, you'll learn about the three basic fire alarm circuits used to connect initiating devices and notification appliances to fire alarm control units, and those used to interconnect different control units in the same system.

    Curriculum based on the latest NFPA 72 also covers control circuits that are used to trigger other emergency control functions. Training addresses fire alarm power circuits and pathways, which can provide power to certain types of detectors, notification appliances, relays, or other devices. This includes coverage of the new circuit designation called Class N pathways, permitting the use of networks and Ethernet when interconnecting a fire alarm system.

    A key characteristic of fire alarm power circuits is that the power is derived from the fire alarm system itself. For this reason, fire alarm power circuits are covered by the same section of NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code® (NEC®), governing basic fire alarm circuits. Circuits that provide primary AC power are not considered fire alarm power circuits.

    Upon completion you should be able to:

    • Identify the basic types of circuits
    • Recognize how different circuit types operate under various conditions
    • Identify the characteristics of Class A, B, C, D, E, N, and X circuits.
    • Recognize how layout and installation factors affect circuit performance
    • Identify the circuit survivability levels

     

    Who Will Benefit:
    Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating or installing fire alarm systems, including:     designers, installers, electrical contractors, architects, auditors, and project managers.

    Continuing Education Credit:
    Complete this course and qualify for 0.15 CEU.     Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be prompted to download the CEU certificate directly from the course site.

    • Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS®) Learning Path
      The CFPS Learning Path is designed to be used in conjunction with the Fire Protection Handbook®. Candidates may only bring an original print copy of the NFPA Fire Protection Handbook, 20th edition, to the exam. If you do not already own the Fire Protection Handbook, it is available to purchase through the online catalog or at a local book distributor.
    • Certified Fire Plan Examiner (CFPE) Learning Path
      The CFPE Learning Path is designed to be used in conjunction with NFPA 1, Fire Code, 2018 edition; NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2016 edition; NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code®, 2016 edition; and NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, 2018 edition. Candidates may only bring an original print copy of the books to the exam. If you do not already own them, they are available to purchase through the online catalog or at a local book distributor.
    • Certified Fire Inspector I (CFI-I) Learning Path
      The CFI-I Learning Path is designed to be used in conjunction with the 2018 and 2021 NFPA code sets which include: NFPA 1, Fire Code (2018 or 2021 edition); NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (2016 or 2019 edition); NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems (2017 or 2020 edition); NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (2016 or 2019 edition); and NFPA 101, Life Safety Code (2018 or 2021 edition). Candidates are encouraged to check with their jurisdiction to verify which code set is appropriate. The Certification Exam is applicable to either the 2018 or the 2021 code set. Candidates may only bring an original print copy of the books to the exam. If you do not already own them, they are available to purchase through the online catalog or at a local book distributor.
    • Water-Based Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance (WBITM) Learning Path
      The WBITM Learning Path is designed to be used in conjunction with NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems. Candidates are also expected to know system components, function, safety, and design principles through a comprehensive working knowledge of the following related codes and standards: NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, NFPA 14, NFPA 15, NFPA 16, NFPA 20, NFPA 22, NFPA 24, and NFPA 72. Additionally, due to the risks posed by energized pumps and other components, candidates should be familiar with NFPA 70E®. All of those codes and standards, including NFPA 25, will be provided as digital references during the exam.
    • Certified Water-Based Systems Professional (CWBSP) Learning Path
