Fire alarm and detection systems are absolutely necessary for the protection of material goods and life.
There are two types of fire alarm systems, namely conventional fire alarm systems and addressable fire alarm systems.
Conventional fire alarm and detection systems are generally used for small buildings where it is not absolutely necessary to identify each alarm detector on the control panel display panel.
Addressable fire alarm and detection systems are intended for large buildings and building complexes, each addressable fire alarm sensor can be identified from the address panel of the addressable fire control panel
Unlike other security systems, including burglar alarm systems, video surveillance systems, access control and timekeeping systems, the design and installation of the alarm system and fire detection does not take into account the wishes of the beneficiary – this is in addition to protecting property and protecting life. Thus, the European standards in the field apply to fire alarm systems, among which we list:
The fire alarm and detection center must have visible display panels either for human security or at the entrance to the building, thus facilitating the work of firefighters who will be able to identify the area that gave the fire alarm much faster. In order to operate in the event of a power outage, adequate batteries must be provided in accordance with the energy consumption calculations, as well as additional sources if necessary.
Conventional fire alarm and early detection systems are reasonably priced compared to addressable fire alarm systems and are the ideal choice for small buildings or where there are budget constraints.
Conventional fire alarm and detection systems consist of conventional fire detection and alarm control panel, smoke and temperature detectors, fire buttons, smoke barriers and other special detectors such as: flame detectors, detectors smoke in the pipe etc.
Addressable fire alarm and detection systems are intelligent systems consisting of fire detection and alarm systems with addressable detector loops, addressable smoke and temperature detectors, addressable fire alarm buttons, addressing modules for conventional detectors or specials such as smoke barriers, other control modules for smoke hatches, addressable or conventional fire alarm sirens.
Addressable fire alarm and detection systems with detector loops have a number of advantages over conventional systems:
1. In case of cutting or breaking a cable, the fire alarm system is still fully functional – with signal status of broken cable;
2. In case of short circuit between wires, the fire alarm system is functional if the detectors have integrated short circuit isolator.
Among the most important projects of alarm and fire detection systems, installed and programmed by us are the following manufacturers: Schrack, Siemens, Bosch, Esser, Aritech, Polon-Alfa, Teletek, Helios, etc., systems mounted in warehouses, office buildings, industrial halls, hospitals, malls, etc.
