Query came in to add fire protection water flow alarm to an existing alarm system we manage at an out-of-state pharma in Tennessee. All I need is a contact closure, but determining what is needed to get that is the task at hand.
I am ignorant of the fire or building codes concerning
- tapping into a fire protection line to add a flow switch
- put a relay between what we suspect is a flow switch that connects a fire alarm direct to the local fire department
Nor do I know what actions can be taken to test a flow switch.
Do light industrial sprinkler systems have a flush valve that can be used to test a flow switch?
What bureaucratic actions are necessary when interrupting a fire protection line? Are permits other than construction permits required?
Any one with experience in this sort of affair?
