Re: 110 VAC Fire Alarms

Make sure to note in your report the system is AC Only
 so to protect yourself  if it should fail

I hit just this siuation last month and ahj was unaware it was an ac only
smoke system he has given owner 120 days to replace with a modern system as
the ac system at time it was installed was not to Pa codes at the time so
there was no grandfathering.
