Fire alarm systems

Introduction:

Fire alarm is an emergency event that is applied to prevent life and financial risks due to fire or sudden environmental explosion. For example, fire alarm systems can be done using smart automatic devices, such as heat sensor systems, smoke control and fire alarms, or through strong sounds and light signs, such as danger evacuation and warning sirens. As mentioned, fire alarm systems are a set of equipment that are used in a building to detect and warn about fire in such a way that the purpose of this system is to detect fire and warn in time to prevent the spread of fire, and most importantly , preventing human and financial losses, supporting the safe evacuation of the environment, contacting the central systems for fire control.

Equipment:

These systems include components such as detectors, control panels, washes, sirens and flashers. In general, fire alarm systems are divided into conventional and addressable types. Conventional systems are of an older type and are connected to the central control panel in zones, while addressable systems have more advanced technology. Finally, by detecting smoke, heat and fire, these systems give warnings to residents and facilitate the evacuation of people in critical situations. In short, the main components of fire alarm systems are:

• The fire alarm control panel, or the central unit that processes the information from the detectors.
• Detector, which includes smoke, heat, flame and gas detectors..
• Flame detectors are used to detect fire according to light and heat.
• Thermal detectors, which detect fire based on temperature changes.
• Fire alarm, which is used to test and repair devices.
• A fire alarm is used to warn people in the event of a fire.
