Multi-Zone Fire Alarm System
Chris Palmieri and Jason Davenport

Introduction
We designed a multi-zone fire alarm system with a VT100-compatible user interface. The system is microprocessor controlled using the Mega32 microprocessor. The system communicates to the VT100-compatible user interface via a RS232 connection. A fire is detectable by a number of fire detection devices in each of as many as eight zones.
