What type of fire alarm system requires documentation of service type to be attached to the FACP?

A Central Station fire alarm system requires the documentation of service type to be attached to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Central Station systems are designed to send alarm signals to a monitoring station, where trained personnel can respond to alarms and dispatch emergency services as needed. Since these systems are monitored off-site, it is critical to maintain and document the specific types of services being provided and the status of the system to ensure effective communication between the local facilities and the central monitoring station.

This documentation ensures that any issues or maintenance needs are clearly communicated, which is vital for the reliability and functionality of the system. Additionally, maintaining accurate service documentation helps in compliance with regulatory standards and provides a level of accountability for the service provided.
