1C. Automist Design Awareness (3 of 3) (C1)


Description
This module 1C. Automist Design Awareness provides essential training on drafting Automist systems for one- and two-family dwellings. If you wish to create full designs independently using the Plumis Working Plan Tool, you can take the optional module 3A: Design Assignment.

This is the third module in a three-part series:
- Module 1A: General Awareness
- Module 1B: Installation & Commissioning

This self-paced course ensures you thoroughly understand how to read Automist system designs. It covers key topics such as design principles, compliance with NFPA 750, correct placement of spray heads and smoke sensors, and using the Plumis Working Plan Tool for accurate job estimation.

By the end of the module, participants will be equipped with the knowledge to draft designs and create .json files which can be sent to Ferguson Fire & Fabrication for validation and a hardware quotation.
