Manufacture & design[edit]
When it comes to the manufacture and/or design of the fire system, the field equipment shall be tailored to NZS 4512. It is a mandatory requirement for state-owned schools and educational facilities managed by Ministry of Education, to have equipment meeting these requirements. There are different brands and models, manufactured and designed by each manufacturer.
Addressable systems[edit]
Analogue addressable fire systems comprise a control panel with SLC or digital loop circuits for field devices. An addressable system uses an LCD user interface to indicate a condition per device on the loop circuit, and can be networked via ethernet or fiber optic cables.
Conventional systems[edit]
A conventional system has one or more indicating and/or non-indicating (clean contact) circuits for initiating devices for each zone. The controls are either fitted internally on the motherboard of the panel or with a visible display and keypad.
