Before construction begins on a new building, the governments of most countries, including those in the United Kingdom, require plans for the addition of a fire control panel. Typically, a detailed description of the operation, type, and placement of the fire control panel must be forwarded to the appropriate agency before any work on a new building can commence.
The purpose of a fire control panel is to act as the controlling component for a fire alarm system. It protects the occupants of a building by receiving information from environmental sensors, and by providing for the automatic control of fire alarm equipment. Some panels also supply electrical power to other components of a fire alarm system, such as sensors, relays, or transmitters.
