ULC Fire Alarm Monitoring for Stratas
Strata Fire Alarm Monitoring
Fire Alarms in Multi-Residential buildings must meet standards set by City and Provincial building codes. There have to be sensors and alarm activation devices installed to meet these bylaws and codes.
When a fire is detected, or a pull station is triggered the Fire Alarm warns residents with audible devices and flashing lights to get out of the building.
An important part of the system is Fire Alarm Monitoring. For many years, municipalities and insurance companies have accepted the word of the monitoring company/building manager that the Fire Alarm was monitored effectively or accepted that the building was not monitored at all!
More recently, there has been a requirement for the Fire Alarm systems to be monitored and that the monitoring system and service meet the ULC Standard for Fire Alarm monitoring.
What is the ULC Fire Alarm Monitoring Standard?
The ULC Standard specifies the equipment (must have ULC label), the method (all wiring physically protected, equipment mounting height, redundant signal paths etc), the monitoring (alarm system must report to a monitoring centre that meets all ULC requirements) as well as the ongoing maintenance and service (annual inspection and testing).
Any company that offers ULC Fire Alarm monitoring certificate service has passed multiple inspections of systems installed for clients to make sure that they meet or exceed the ULC Standard.
Alpha Integrated Systems Ltd. is licensed issue ULC Certificates for Fire Alarm monitoring indicating that these systems meet this high standard.
