Fire alarm remote indicators should be used in areas where the fire detection is mounting in a position that there is no ready access or is not easily viewed,for example in ceiling voids.
Remote indicators can also be used to dramatically reduce search distances where detectors are located inside rooms, such as in hotels, thus simplifying system zoning and reducing the time taken to locate the source of an alarm.
However, if the fire alarm company is installing an addressable fire alarm system, then it can be deemed that they are not necessarily required, as an addressable fire alarm will give the exact location of the activate detector, with the exception of an area where more then one detector is located.
Fire Alarms and remote indicators are advantageous in narrowing search distances where locators are present. I've recently purchased some fantastic fire suppression and warning equipment from Discount Fire Supplies.
