NFPA 72 Compliant AHJ Coordinated Annual Inspection Licensed MO & KS

/ / What We Do

Complete fire alarm services.

From new system installation to annual inspections — we handle every aspect of commercial fire alarm systems in the KC metro.

New System Installation

Complete fire alarm system design and installation for new construction and tenant improvements — addressable and conventional systems.

Panel Upgrades & Replacements

Replace end-of-life or obsolete fire alarm control panels with modern addressable systems. We coordinate with the AHJ on all replacements.

Device Additions & Expansions

Adding smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, or notification appliances to an existing system — properly integrated and tested.

Annual Inspection & Testing

NFPA 72-required annual inspection and testing. We test every device, document results, and provide the AHJ with a completed inspection report.

Sprinkler System Interface

Wiring the interface between sprinkler flow switches, tamper switches, and the fire alarm control panel — required in most commercial buildings.

Elevator Recall Wiring

Fire alarm to elevator controller interface for automatic elevator recall during alarm — a life-safety requirement in multi-story buildings.

HVAC Shutdown Integration

Duct smoke detectors and HVAC shutdown relay wiring — prevents smoke spread through ventilation systems during a fire event.

Emergency Voice / Evacuation

Mass notification and emergency voice communication system wiring for larger commercial buildings requiring voice evacuation.

/ / System Types

Conventional vs Addressable vs Wireless.

Choosing the right system type depends on your building size, occupancy, and budget. We help you choose what's right — not what's most expensive.

Basic

Conventional System

Best for: Small buildings — under 5 zones

Divides a building into zones — when a device activates, the panel identifies which zone, not which specific device. Lower cost but limited location detail.

Recommended

Addressable System

Best for: Most commercial buildings — recommended

Each device has a unique address — the panel identifies the exact device that activated. Faster response, easier troubleshooting, better documentation for the AHJ.

Retrofit

Wireless System

Best for: Historic buildings, retrofits where wiring is difficult

Devices communicate via radio frequency — no wiring required to each device. Ideal for retrofit situations where running conduit would damage historic or finished spaces.

/ / Devices We Install

Every component of a complete system.

Smoke Detectors

Ionization and photoelectric detectors for sleeping areas, corridors, and mechanical rooms — properly spaced per NFPA 72.

Heat Detectors

Fixed-temperature and rate-of-rise detectors for kitchens, garages, and areas where smoke detectors would cause false alarms.

Manual Pull Stations

Single and double-action pull stations at required exit locations — height-compliant and ADA-accessible.

Notification Appliances

Horn/strobe and speaker/strobe devices providing audible and visual alarm notification throughout the building.

Duct Smoke Detectors

In-duct detectors that detect smoke in the HVAC airstream and trigger fan shutdown to prevent smoke spread.

Flow & Tamper Switches

Sprinkler system monitoring — flow switches detect water flow, tamper switches detect valve position changes.

/ / Code Compliance

NFPA 72 and local AHJ requirements.

Fire alarm systems in Kansas City are governed by NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and local amendments enforced by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) — the local fire marshal or building department.

Pure Light Electric coordinates with the AHJ on every project — from plan review through final inspection. We handle the paperwork so you get your certificate of occupancy without surprises.
