Proper Way of Wiring an Fire Alarm Ring Circuit

This video encompasses a detailed guide on how to connect and set up fire alarm circuit from simplex.
The main components are the control panel, the back-up battery, the dc power input, the multiple
notification and initiation devices. As this accommodates an emergency situation, relying on just one
energy source is avoided hence the addition of 2 12 volts battery as back up. The ring connection in the
video has 6 devices in which it showcases how to properly connect each devices to one another. This is
particularly important as they share one power source. Improper connection of the negatives and
positives wires will result to the device not working and even worse, them breaking. The ring circuitry is
particularly useful in case that one connection gets cut off, the devices will still work. The devices are
also addressable for the ability to check which devices are malfunctioning. There’s a switch on the inside
of the devices which could set. Properly setting up the loop is important as there could be multiple loops
containing multiple devices, this is to avoid confusion.
