Circuit Analysis - Flst

Circuit Analysis is designed to give you the skills to analyse and diagnose electrical circuits that maybe present in a fire alarm system. There are inherent dangers working with electricity. It is important to understand electrical hazards in order to provide a safe working environment for yourself and your colleagues. Fundamental circuit analysis requires electronic tools to assist in diagnostics. Multimeters, as well as other legacy analog meters, and oscilloscopes will be discussed in detail in order to provide a solid foundation for tools used in circuit analysis. In order to be efficient and effective in fire alarm schematic diagnostics, it is vital to understand a set of blueprint drawings. Different types of architectural drawings as well as electrical schematics will be discussed. Furthermore, there is a great emphasis on extracting key pieces of information from each type blueprint drawing. It is important to be able to transitioning from a high-level electrical diagram to an electrical schematic or wiring diagram and visa versa. A good understanding of the electrical circuits is required to hypothesize problems or potential problems within the system. In conclusion, Circuit Analysis will present a good foundation on how to critically analyse and solve electrical circuits in a fire alarm system using various measurement tools and information from a set of blueprints.
