How should WCFS be integrated with building alarms?

The WCFS should trigger audible/visual alarms and alert the fire alarm panel as required.

The key point is that a Wet Chemical Fire Suppression System (WCFS) in a commercial kitchen must automatically engage the building’s life-safety notification when it discharges. When the WCFS releases its agent, it should trigger audible and visual alarms and report to the fire alarm control panel. This ensures occupants are evacuated promptly and the building’s fire protection system and responders are alerted and coordinated, per typical NFPA 17A requirements. Merely logging events, deactivating other alarms, or only alerting management do not provide the necessary life-safety notification or incident coordination.

It should only log events to a central system.

It should deactivate other alarms during discharge.

It should only alert management.
