LOW AIR ALARM (or SUPERVISORY): A condition in a DRY PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEM in which the air pressure has fallen below a pre-set level. This is utilized to warn the building's occupants that the system's air compressor may be compromised (or the power to the unit may be turned off) and a further reduction in pressure may cause the system to TRIP.
