Pressure Tanks A pressure tank serves as a secondary source of water to the commercial supply. The tank is filled two- thirds by water and one-third by air. Supervision of a pressure tank covers air pressure and water level. Fire Pumps Fire pumps are intended to supply adequate water pressure in case of a fire. Several monitoring devices can be applied to pumps, including those that detect loss of power failure to start, and lack of fuel, phase reversal, pump running signal, etc.

141. 140 Honeywell Brands Basic Fire 2005-V4 08-17-05.ppt Basic Fire All 2004-v2.ppt 1 11,11, Troubleshooting Electrical interference, or noise, is the unwanted influencing of stray voltage on the affected circuit. As voltage goes up, current on the circuit goes down (Ohms Law). Conversely, as the voltage goes down, the current goes up. Noise has a different effect on communications circuits (addressable systems) than it does on conventional systems.

142. 141 Honeywell Brands Basic Fire 2005-V4 08-17-05.ppt Basic Fire All 2004-v2.ppt 1 11,11, On a conventional circuit, an increase in current can cause an alarm. A decrease in current can cause a trouble condition. On a communications circuit, such as an SLC, noise tends to disrupt communications, which will result in invalid replies from addressable devices (trouble conditions). It is less likely to cause false alarming. Transorbs, MOVs, PTCs on conventional circuit at the control panel shunt excess energy to ground. Debouncing in software reduces this likelihood.
