Style Y is a designation of circuit performance under different states of the circuit. For example: an initiating circuit and a NAC circuit may both be class B, with a panel on one end of the circuit and a resistor on the other. If there is an open on either circuit (the panel doesn't see the EOL), then a trouble is initiated at the panel. However, if there is a short between the two wires on a circuit, the panel will react very differently on the initiating circuit than it will on the NAC. Style Y means that the fire alarm panel will display a trouble on either an open or a short on the NAC circuit, where style 4 means that the Initiating circuit will generate an alarm on the panel in the event of a short, and a trouble in the event of an open.

What is style y wiring?
Style Y wiring refers to a specific method of wiring smoke detectors in a fire alarm system. In this configuration, detectors are connected in parallel, allowing for multiple devices to share the same circuit. This wiring arrangement is commonly used in residential and smaller commercial buildings.
What is the meaning of wiring style class a?
In the field of fire alarm wiring (and possibly others) the wiring going out to the devices in the field can be wired in several ways depending on the need for survivability. Older codes/manufacturers created a concept known as CLASS-A and CLASS-B CLASS-A is a 4 wire circuit where two wires of the circuit leave the control panel, make connection with the field devices, and then return to the same control panel. In this type installation a wire that broke or came loose would cause a TROUBLE condition but all devices would continue to be available to detect an alarm. CLASS-B is a 2 wire circuit where two wires leave the control panel, make connection to the field devices and then connect to an "END-OF-LINE" device. Each CLASS-B circuit is a "deadend". If a wire broke or came loose a trouble signal would occur, but all devices downstream of the break point would not function. ---- As technology enhanced, newer systems were able to provide more capabilities than just the two described above. The NFPA 72 Fire Alarm Standard created a system that describes the ability of each type circuit. This system describes the types of circuits as "STYLES". It also uses letters but uses the other end of the alphabet, such as Style Y, Style W, Style X
