What The Regs Say?
Under The Requirements of BS9251:2014:
All Fire Sprinkler systems should have an alarm device consisting of a flow switch that should be initiated by the flow of water to a single head with the lowest flow rate.
​
The alarm device should initiate a sprinkler alarm signal that should instigate the appropriate emergency procedures.
​
The alarm device (Flow Switch) should be connected to either:
​​
-
Internal audible alarm
-
Interfaced with an automatic fire detection and alarm system
​
When connected to an automatic fire detection and alarm system, the actuation of the Sprinkler alarm should be clearly distinguishable on any fire alarm control and indicating equipment.
