Fire Alarm System
The Fire Alarm Systems (FAS) play an important role in the safety of life, properties and, others. The Fire Alarm Systems are installed in various locations like school, college, hospital, shopping mall, commercial building, public places, industry, railway station, airport, and others.
A fire alarm system is a building system designed to detect and alert occupants and emergency forces of the presence of smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, or other fire-related emergencies. Fire alarm systems are required in most commercial buildings. They may include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual fire alarm activation devices, all of which are connected to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) normally found in an electrical room or panel room. Fire alarm systems generally use visual and audio signalization to warn the occupants of the building. Some fire alarm systems may also disable elevators, which under most circumstances, are unsafe to use during a fire.
Types Of FAS:
- Semi Addressable Fire Alarm System: This system combines the benefits of addressable and conventional systems, allowing for better flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
- Conventional Fire Alarm System: This traditional system divides the protected area into zones and detects fires based on predefined thresholds.
- Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm System: These systems are capable of providing detailed information about the location and nature of the fire, offering enhanced situational awareness.
- Analogue Addressable Systems: These systems provide advanced features such as individual device identification, ease of maintenance, and superior event management.
