The Basic Functions of Monitoring:
- Monitoring Systems communicate to a Central Station
- If alarms are triggered, the Central Station will send notification to dispatch authorities
- Commercial Fire Alarm Systems must use a Central Station, per NFPA 72 Ohio Fire Code, unless the facility has their own Monitoring Station approved by the local AHJ
Some Key Facts on Monitoring:
- Fire Alarm or Sprinkler System Monitoring is required in most circumstances
- If your facility is always maned and monitored by two people 24 hours a day, your facility would be exempt. If your facility does not meet the above criteria, it will need to be monitored by a UL Central Station
If a False Alarm Sounds:
- Contact your Central Station Monitoring company to notify them of any false alarms
- Provide your account number and password
- Let the operator know that the signal was a false alarm
