Our engineers maintain their personal knowledge so that you can be assured to receive the most relevant and up to date information. Critically, a professionally installed Fire Alarm system seldom goes wrong, the sounder will be heard throughout the building offering instant awareness of a fire as and when it occurs. Clearly this 'Early Warning' is often a life saver.
Fire Alarm Systems can be broken down into four categories:
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Primarily the conventional Fire Alarm system has a number of carefully located smoke detection units feeding back to the Fire Alarm panel. Dependent on the size of the building, areas may be zoned. Fire zones are important in so that the general fire location, or system fault, can be identified very quickly. Again this is often a life saver, and in the case of a small developing fire maybe addressed, dependent on a quick risk assessment, knowledge, ability and extinguishers that maybe on hand. Although first and foremost we would always advocate exiting the building as quickly and safely as possible.
Addressable Systems
The only difference between an Addressable and Conventional Fire Alarm system is that with an Addressable Fire Alarm System will detail exactly, on the Fire Panel, which precise unit has activated. The detectors themselves are the same as conventional accept they can be programmed with a unique address. For the vast majority of buildings this system should be classed as essential, it can also be interfaced with a Sprinkler System.
