Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
Fire detection systems fall broadly in to three categories - Conventional, Analogue Addressable and Wireless. In this context do not confuse analogue with yesterday's technology. In fire alarm terms, analogue systems are superior to their conventional counterparts.
Fire Alarms
Wireless Fire Alarms / Radio Fire Alarms
There are many circumstances where it would be more advantagous to install a wireless fire detection system over a fixed wired installation. These include disruption, damage to decor, difficult and time consuming cable runs, long distances to cover or where an installation is temporary.
Addressable Fire Alarms
An addressable fire detection system is usually wired as one or more loops, with each sensor device having its own address and location text to indicate the exact location of the fire.
Conventional Fire Alarms
In a conventional fire detection system, each part of the building is wired with a radial (or spur) circuit. Each circuit forms an alarm zone. If a trigger is received from a detector or manual call point, the alarm will be identified as being somewhere in that zone. The exact location has to be found by searching within the zone.
