Fire Alarm Control Panels
(OP)
We have a billeting building (similar to a hotel) that is getting a sizable addition, they want to add a separate FACP.
How Many Fire Alarm Control Panels can be installed in a single building?

It is not a good idea unless needed, like a separate releasing panel, but that should be tied into the main panel
You set up they should have at least tied the two panels together, so each one trips the other.
Just checking no physical/ distance separation between the two buildings.
Remember you are dealing with Uncle Sam
How are you connected with all this??

As I understand your situation, the current design is a violation of the NFPA 72 requirements for protected premises fire alarm systems.
