Fire Alarm System

• It is designed to alert us to an emergency so that we can take action to protect ourselves, staff and the general public.
• Whatever the method of detection is, if the alarm is triggered, sounders will operate to warn people in the building that there may be a fire and to evacuate.

• The “Brain” of the fire detector system is the Fire Alarm Control Panel. It is the central hub for all of the detector signals to be wired to and provides a status indication to the users.

  At the core of a system are the detection devices, from sophisticated intelligent smoke detectors to simple manually operated break glass units, there are a wide array of different types, but we can divide them into groups including:

• – Heat detectors

  – Smoke detectors

  – Carbon Monoxide detectors

  – Multi-sensor detectors

  – Manual Call Points
