Participants will also learn about common challenges and misunderstandings when using these systems.

Learning Objectives:
•Identify the NFPA 72 requirements for dedicated function fire alarm systems
•Describe the basis for these requirements in the International Building Code
•Explain basic installation requirements for dedicated function fire alarm systems and when they must be monitored
