How to build a fire alarm matrix

Create a fire alarm sequence-of-operations matrix, also called a cause-and-effect matrix, that maps initiating events to system responses.

  1. Build your matrix

    Choose a premade system or add individual events. Review and customize the outputs for your project’s approved sequence.

  2. Export to CAD

    Select Export DXF, then open the downloaded file in your CAD application. The matrix contains editable lines and text. Check units, fonts, and scale before placing it in your drawing.

  3. Keep a project copy

    Use Save Project to download an editable project file, and Open Project to resume later. Print / PDF provides a separate review copy.
