First you locate the source of the alarm, undo the condition (e.g., valve closed, inadequate pressure, etc), then reset the alarm condition on the sprinkler control panel and reset the alarm on the fire alarm control panel (assuming they're connected, as required by many fire codes).

How long before a water motor gong should go off in fire sprinkler system?
A water gong is typically arranged to alarm the instant water in the sprinkler system begins flowing, certainly within a few seconds, as the pressure drops on the sprinkler side, allowing water pressure to turn the clapper in the gong.
What is in the piping of a dry sprinkler system?
Normally it is filled with compressed air. A dry sprinkler system is used in areas exposed to temperatures that would freeze water. When a fire is sensed the soft metal link of a sprinkler head melts , releases the compressed air which in turn opens a valve to a fire main allowing the system to flood with water and extinguish the fire. Parking ramps in the northern US have dry systems, for example, because of the weather.
How does heat move from a fire to a fire sprinkler?
Heat transfers from the fire to the fire sprinkler through convection and radiation. The hot air rises from the fire, heating the surrounding air which then transfers the heat to the sprinkler through convection. Additionally, the fire emits infrared radiation which can also directly heat the sprinkler.
How does a sprinkler system work as an open loop system?
What you may be referring to, since the question was posted in electrical engineering section, is in reference to the electrical switches and devices installed on sprinkler systems. The systems have water flow devices, low air switches, valve tamper devices and the like. each device is designed to monitor changes in state in the system. (sprinkler waterflow, low air pressure in a system, an improperly open or closed valve, to name a few.) these devices are designed to send an electrical current or signal of high or low voltage to a device(bell or siren) or to an alarm or control panel. The terminals on these devices are similar. They have a "common" terminal. Next, they have an "normally open" terminal; which means the circuit is open normally, but closes during a change in state. The circuit is supervised with a end of line resistor in the circuit, hence an "open loop"

How does a smoke alarm work?

We don't touch fire alarm boxes except when necessary to turn in an alarm for a fire.Why?
A false alarm is against the law and you will be arrested. Those are two very good reasons. When an alarm is started, many people rush into action, creating hazards for everyone. A large percentage of firefighter deaths and injuries occur on the way to an alarm, even if it's a false alarm. The person starting a false alarm can be held responsible for everything that occurs due to their actions.
