"Non-proprietary" means it is owned, maintained and operated by the fire department.

"Proprietary" systems are installed privately, operated privately, maintained privately, inspected privately (with inspection reports to the fire department), and may be required to follow various additional standards for a "listed fire alarm system".

A non-proprietary fire alarm refers to a system that uses open protocols and standards, allowing for compatibility with different brands and types of fire alarm equipment. This means that the system is not tied to one specific manufacturer or brand, giving the user the flexibility to choose and integrate various components from different vendors. It provides greater options for maintenance, upgrades, and expansion of the fire alarm system.

What are examples of non-proprietary operating systems?

"Non-proprietary" is the opposite of the above. These are more commonly referred to as "free" operating systems, since you have access to the underlying code, and can modify it. Linux and FreeBSD are excellent examples of non-proprietary operating systems. The choice of non-proprietary operating systems can make it much easier to upgrade hardware as new technology becomes available.


Why you use ELR?

An ELR is terminology used in fire alarm systems. It stands for End of Line Resistor. It is used as a load on individual fire alarm circuits. This load draws a small current that is monitored by the alarm panel. What the panel is monitoring for is open circuits in break glass and bell circuits. If the current is non existent then it means that one of the fire circuits is opened, out of service and non operational. In the alarm panel a relay is de-energized and a trouble alarm is activated to bring attention to the problem. Once the problem is repaired the current again flows through the ELR and the trouble relay resets.
