Fire Alarm System
A fire alarm system is an important safety system that is used in buildings to alert occupants of a potential fire or smoke hazard. It consists of several devices that are connected to a central control panel, which is monitored by a fire alarm monitoring service. The devices can be either hardwired or wireless. The most common type of fire alarm system is a smoke detector, which detects smoke and heat. Other types of fire alarms include carbon monoxide detectors, manual pull stations, and sprinkler systems.
The main purpose of a fire alarm system is to detect a fire and alert occupants so that they can evacuate the building safely. Fire alarm systems are usually connected to the local fire department, so that when the alarm is triggered, the fire department can be notified and respond quickly. The fire alarm system can also be programmed to relay information to the fire department about the type of fire, the location, and other important details.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
The detection principle of an Addressable System is the same as a Conventional System except that each detector is given a set Address (usually by means of a dip-switch) and the Control Panel can then determine exactly which detector or call point has initiated the alarm.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
In a Conventional Fire Alarm System, physical cabling is used to interconnect several call points and detectors, the signals from which are wired back to the main control unit.
