Fire Detection and Alarm System
Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
The damage and casualty caused by fire can be avoided greatly if you have a potent fire alarm in place. Analogue-addressable fire alarm systems give details on individual detectors, whereas conventional systems only give information about specific circuits or zones. Addressable or “intelligent” fire alarm systems are designed for large commercial premises and more complex networked systems. In addressable systems, different types of initiating devices are wired in one or more single loops around the premises, requiring less cabling than conventional systems, with each detector or call point having its own unique address. The fire control panel receives information and status reports from each device and indicates its exact location if there is a fire, fault, smoke, heat, or contamination.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
In smaller spaces, you don’t require sophisticated fire alarms to notify people. If a conventional fire alarm detects a fire, it may tell you the zone/ area of the fire but not the exact location of the fire. There’s no design where a specific fire alarm can signal exactly where the fire is occurring.
