Fire Alarm Equipment
A wide range of Fire detection and Alarm System (FDAS) equipment is available and we specialise in providing solutions for any type of premises and its use. The types of equipment recommended may include the following products: –
All fire alarm systems will include manual call points that allow people to raise a fire alarm, commonly known as “break glass” units. –
Point detectors are designed to detect one or more of the four characteristics of fire; heat, smoke, combustion gas (i.e. carbon monoxide), or radiation (i.e. infra-red). – Multi-sensor detectors combine detector technology to improve the detection characteristics and reject false alarms.
– Optical beam detectors provide economical and effective protection of large, open plan spaces where the use of traditional detection technologies would prove to be difficult and/or costly to install.
– Line type heat detectors are used in large industrial spaces such as tunnels or car parks with adverse environmental conditions.
– Aspirating fire detection is a specialised system where air samples are taken to a sensitive central detector through a network of small pipes.
– Wireless fire alarm systems are available which provide solutions where wired installations are not suitable.
– Other devices, such as visual alarms or beacons are used if there is a risk of audio signals not being adequately heard by all occupants, either for disability reasons or by use of ear defenders.
The operation of all this equipment is coordinated and controlled by a control and indicating panel. This piece of equipment allows the day to day test and running of the fire alarm system but is also at the centre of managing what happens in the event of a fire alarm.
The control and indicating panel may indicate only the zone in which a detector or call point has been activated or it may be a fully addressable panel giving details and location of the individual detector or call point that has operated.
There should always be a zone plan displayed alongside the fire alarm control and indicator panel.
