Fire Alarm System

 A fire alarm is a unit made of several devices, which uses visual and audio signaling to warn people about a possible fire, smoke, or carbon monoxide occurrence in the area of coverage. Fire alarms are usually set in fire alarm systems to provide zonal coverage for residences and commercial buildings. The warning signal is either a loud siren/bell, a flashing light, or it can include both. Some fire alarm systems use additional warnings, such as sending a voice message or making a phone call.

Depending on the functionality and the integrated components, there are several classifications of fire alarm systems.

  • Automatic fire alarm systems are activated through fire detectors, such as smoke or heat sensors. Manual fire alarms are activated with manual call points or pull stations. There is no reason for a fire alarm system to exclude one or the other. You can include both in the same system.
  • Conventional fire alarms work as one unit, and are unable to pinpoint the exact area of activation unless inspected. 
  • Addressable fire alarms have a specially dedicated address for each fire alarm detector connected to the control panel for easier identification of the danger source.
