Fire systems — Fire alarm and suppression monitoring

Strictly read-only: the platform has no silence, reset, disable, test, release, abort or fire pump start/stop function. Acknowledging a fire alarm in FacilityOS is recorded in the platform only and is never passed to the fire alarm panel.

What is monitored

• Fire alarm control panels with their zones, detectors and notification circuits.
• Aspirating smoke detection (for example VESDA): smoke-level trends and the alert, action, fire 1 and fire 2 thresholds.
• Sprinkler risers, valves and fire pumps; gaseous, clean-agent and other special suppression systems.
• Alarm priorities: fire is urgent, supervisory is high, trouble is medium.

Data center view

• Protection status room by room for data centers: detection, suppression and release status in each room.
• An event log of fire, supervisory and trouble events, and inspection reminders.

Read-only by design

• BACnet life-safety points and zones are read-only, and every LifeSafetyOperation request is refused.
• The catalog check rejects any change that would make a life-safety point writable.
• After a fire event the platform checks that the expected linkage actions were reported within their deadline and notifies people if not — it only checks, it never acts.

Try it

• The demo data center has a simulated fire system with panels, aspirating smoke detection, sprinklers and room-level suppression.
