Fire Alarm Control Panel Signs

Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) signs are essential for fire safety and emergency preparedness in any building. These signs clearly mark the location of the main fire alarm control panel, allowing firefighters, inspectors, and building staff to quickly access the system during an emergency. Proper signage ensures that first responders do not waste critical time searching for the panel, enabling them to silence alarms, reset systems, or monitor fire detection devices immediately. In addition, FACP signs demonstrate compliance with FDNY, NFPA, and local building code requirements, reducing liability for property owners and ensuring occupants have a reliable layer of safety.

A fire alarm control panel is the central hub of a building’s fire alarm system. It monitors input from smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, and sprinkler flow devices, then activates alarms, strobes, and other notification appliances to alert occupants of danger. The panel may also connect to fire suppression systems and send signals to monitoring stations or the fire department. Because the FACP is such a critical piece of fire protection infrastructure, having clear and durable signs makes its location unmistakable. This ensures fast response during emergencies and smooth operation during inspections, testing, and maintenance.
