That sounds a little better, now you need to apply this code section.
2002 NEC
230.82 Equipment Connected to the Supply Side of Service Disconnect.
Only the following equipment shall be permitted to be connected to the supply side of the service disconnecting means:
(4)Taps used only to supply load management devices, circuits for standby power systems, fire pump equipment, and fire and sprinkler alarms, if provided with service equipment and installed in accordance with requirements for service-entrance conductors.
I have never been asked to do that, but most of the buildings I work in will have the electric sprinkler bell and a water driven sprinkler bell, no power needed for the latter.
