Scope:

CAN/ULC-S559 covers requirements for fire signal receiving centres and systems, which include transmitting and receiving equipment, proprietary fire receiving centre equipment and control unit accessories. Fire signal Receiving centre systems include protected premise unit and receiver for ordinary (non-hazardous) indoor and outdoor locations. Programming methods, test, service and other software intended for use with the equipment for fire signal receiving centres and systems are included in the evaluation of the equipment. Signal receiving units used in fire signal receiving centres, satellite centres, signal processing centres and bridging centres are also covered by the requirements in this Standard.

Project need:

These equipment are widely used by the industry and are referenced directly or indirectly (via CAN/UCL-S561) in codes and regulations across Canada.
