A system and method of synchronization protocol for fire alarm strobe systems which has the ability to synchronize the strobe light devices from different manufactures simultaneously.

Multi-protocol fire-alarm strobe synchronization

A fire detection system includes at least one existing fire detection unit, at least one replacement fire detection unit, control circuitry associated with the at least one existing fire detection unit, control circuitry associated with the at least one replacement fire detection unit, a graphical user interface associated with the at least one replacement fire detection unit, and communication media connecting the at least one existing fire detection unit and the at least one replacement fire detection unit. The replacement unit is configured to be compatible with the at least one existing unit, and the graphical user interface controls the configuration of the replacement panel. The control circuitry associated with the replacement unit and the control circuitry associated with the existing unit execute the configuration of the replacement panel.

Network software normalization and installation in a fire detection system

A fire detection network employs an implicit data backup and recovery system. The implicit data backup system allows fire detection units within a network to be automatically reprogrammed with configuration data. The detection units can store backup data and can access the stored backup data when necessary.
