What AlarmPulse is, and isn't
AlarmPulse is ancillary monitoring and building-systems integration software. It does not replace the fire alarm control panel: detection, alarm signalling, sounder control and evacuation remain with the panel and its approved installation.
Check local requirements before using it as alarm transmission equipment.
