Wanting to get my head around fire detection and alarm systems...

[Lister1987]

Can anyone recommend any good links, books, materials (Aside from bs 5839-1) for getting an understanding and looking into how these systems are devised, wired, maintained and such like?

I know there was the IET Electricians Guide to Fire Detection and Alarm Systems - 2nd Edition, however I can't find that at a sensible price for love nor money and 3rd edition as I understand it won't be released until 2021, my money is on it being because of Grenfell.

How about the niceic book, mainly snags but got some useful info in it.
AICO have some useful info about regulations etc on there website
Chanel are quite good, they will specify the install for you, you just install it and afterwards they will commission it. quite good if you dont have the insurance or experience but will help you get to grips with a system.
