Is it required to have a fire alarm panel?
Only if your building is required to have an interconnected fire alarm system. Your local and state fire codes and building codes will determine what kind of alarm system is required, if any. Many single or two-family dwellings are allowed to have individual smoke alarms that are not connected to an alarm panel, but they only give local audible/visual alarm. An alarm panel allows the system to call automatically for help, when necessary. When you have one connected in a building it will supply power to the smoke detectors and the rest of the fire alarm system and may indicate where the fire has been detected. This information can be relayed to the dispatchers, allowing the fire officer/brigade to find the source of the alarm quickly and attend to the cause.
Will manually turning off a shunt trip breaker set off the fire alarm?
Manually turning off a shunt trip breaker should not set off the fire alarm. The only way that the breaker could set off the fire alarm when turned to the off position is if there is an auxiliary contact on the breaker connected to the fire alarm circuit. This is not usually done because the breaker should be able to be turned off when doing maintenance on the breakers circuit. If the breaker is a mandatory feed breaker to a piece of fire alarm equipment and shouldn't be left in the off position it might have a trouble circuit connected to the fire alarm panel. A trouble alarm on a fire alarm panel is different from an alarm circuit alarm.
