Frequently Asked Questions on Fire Detection and Alarm Systems

What is a fire detection system?

Fire detection is the process of identifying the presence of a fire or potential fire in a building. Fire detection systems can include smoke detectors, heat detectors, or flame detectors, and they are designed to detect the earliest signs of a fire, such as smoke or high temperatures.

Fire detection systems can be connected to a fire alarm system, which will trigger an alarm to alert people of potential danger.

What is a fire alarm system?

A fire alarm is a device that is designed to alert people of a fire emergency. It typically includes a loud sound or siren and flashing lights that are intended to grab people’s attention and prompt them to evacuate the building.

Fire alarms can be triggered manually by someone pulling a fire alarm lever or automatically by smoke or heat detectors.

What is the difference between a fire alarm and fire detection?

Fire detection is the process of identifying a fire or potential fire, while a fire alarm is a device that alerts people of a fire emergency. Fire detection systems can be part of a fire alarm system, but not all fire alarms are part of a fire detection system.

How to test a fire alarm system?

Testing a fire alarm system is an important part of ensuring that it will function properly in the event of a fire emergency for early detection and minimising false alarms. Here are the general steps to follow when testing a fire alarm system:

1. Notify the building occupants.
2. Contact the monitoring company.
3. Select a testing method.
4. Test the fire alarm system.
5. Document the results.
6. Reset the system.

It’s important to note that testing a fire alarm system should be performed by a trained and qualified professional, and any necessary permits or approvals should be obtained before conducting a test.

What is a conventional fire alarm system?

A conventional fire alarm system is a basic type of fire system that consists of a network of detectors and alarms that are connected to a fire alarm control panel.

When a detector is triggered, it sends a signal to the control panel, which activates the corresponding alarm. Conventional fire alarm systems are widely used in small to medium-sized buildings, such as homes, small offices, and retail stores.

What is an addressable fire alarm system?

An addressable fire alarm system is a type of fire alarm system that is designed to provide more detailed information about the location of a fire or potential fire in a building.

In an addressable fire alarm system, each detector or device connected to the system is assigned a unique address or identification number, which allows the central control panel to identify the exact location of the device that has detected the fire or smoke.
