ALPHA 4
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Properly installed fire alarm systems using ALPHA 4 and approved fire
detectors and/or manual call points and alerting devices can comply with
the requirements of the NZ Building Code where fire safety precautions
types 2, 3, or 4 (non-connected), or Type 7 (non-connected) are
specified. ALPHA 4 also complies with NZS 4512:2003 and is FPA(NZ)
listed for use in automatic and manual fire alarm systems.
ALPHA 4 is compatible with indicating heat detectors, 2-wire smoke
detectors and indicating manual call points as detailed below. An
optional "legacy mode" is available for retrofit (affects all circuits),
offering compatibility with clean contact (normally closed) heat detectors
and manual call points and 2-wire smoke detectors.
