As the owner of a building you are typically required to monitor the sprinklers of that building in order to have occupants in the building. This is a very straight forward system. The current requirements in most jurisdictions call for the water flow switches on the sprinkler riser to be monitored, and any shut off valves to be tampered (Post Indicator Valve, Outside Stem & Yoke shutoffs, etc.). Additionally, a smoke detector needs to be installed above the Fire Alarm Control Panel, a manual pull station installed at the main entrance to the building, a horn strobe to be installed above the manual pull station, and an enunciator at the address entrance.
This type of system is typically monitored by a UL Listed Central Station per code.
