Properly functioning fire alarms and security systems
are a critical for personnel safety. Yet those systems are built
around integrated circuits (IC’s) which are highly susceptible to
transient damage. If an IC fails the facility could be without fire
or security alarms. Building alarm circuits (whether fire or
security) are tied to both the power system and the communications
systems. Because of their attachment to more than a single line that
goes through the wall of the facility alarm circuits are even more
likely to experience damaging surges that other electronic
equipment. Every effort needs to be made to insure that each
location where a wire transitions from the inside of the building to
the outside of the building has a surge protection device installed.
Facility and equipment managers that want to be certain that they
have properly functioning alarm systems should call their local
Total Protection Solutions distributor today to get help in
improving the reliability those systems and in cutting their
facility operating expenses.
