This comprehensive guide to the design, installation, maintenance, testing and use of fire alarm systems has been reorganized to present facts in the order needed by most pros. Other improvements—such as separate groupings for system inputs, system outputs, system functions, and general requirements—make it the most user-friendly edition of NFPA 72 ever published.

It's still the only ANSI-accredited document for fire alarm systems installation.

There's a separate chapter for public reporting systems, and new worksheets for the streamlined Appendix B, Engineering Guide for Spacing of Automatic Fire Detectors. An important new permissive facilitates your work with integrated building systems network protocols such as BACnet or LONworks.
