A fire alarm annunciator is a device that is incorporated into the fire alarm system. This device aims to keep an eye on your system’s performance. When the fire alarms go off, you can check with the fire alarm annunciator as to where the fire started and what caused it, and it can also provide you critical information that will help you enforce a better evacuation procedure for the occupants of the building.

A fire alarm annunciator is basically a control panel that helps you monitor and control all elements of your fire alarm system from a central station. A fire alarm system has several components scattered all throughout the building. When your system fails, you need to be able to pinpoint exactly where the malfunction is.

Checking each component manually is a very tedious and time-consuming job, especially for larger buildings. But because of the fire alarm annunciator, you are able to determine the cause of the problem in an instant, just by looking at your screen.

The fire alarm anunciator shows you the conditions of each component of your system, using numeric data and LED lights. It can determine if a certain fire alarm device is low on power source, or when a fire alarm part needs to be changed. For more info see

In case of a fire, your fire alarm annunciator may also prevent unnecessary evacuation from the building. Before calling the fire department for help, you can first check your fire alarm annunciator to see if there is actually a fire. Some sensitive fire alarm systems may activate its alarms after detecting something as slight as cigarette smoke.

The fire alarm annunciator gives you the option to stop the alarms if the smoke detectors or heat sensors erroneously detect a fire. It also has a button that you should press if the fire is confirmed. This button will make your system contact the local fire department for help in putting out the fire.
