🔹 Fire Alarm Systems – Conventional & Addressable

Fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning of fire through a combination of automatic detection devices and manual activation points. These systems ensure quick evacuation, rapid response, and minimized fire damage.

The two main types of fire alarm systems are:


🔸 Conventional Fire Alarm System

  • Devices such as manual call points, fire detectors, sounders, and beacons are grouped into zones.

  • Each zone represents a physical area within a building and is connected via a single wiring circuit.

  • When a fire is detected, the control panel identifies the zone but not the exact device location.

  • Cost-effective and widely used in small to medium-sized buildings (schools, offices, shops, residential complexes).


🔸 Addressable Fire Alarm System

  • Each device (detector, call point, etc.) has a unique digital address.

  • All devices communicate with each other and a central control panel.

  • The system identifies the exact location of the triggered device, ensuring faster emergency response.

  • Highly reliable and scalable, ideal for large or complex facilities such as hospitals, airports, malls, and high-rise buildings.


🔹 Fire Detection Devices

🟠 Smoke Detector (Photoelectric Type)

  • Uses light scattering technology to detect smoke.

  • Contains a light-sensing chamber with an LED.

  • When smoke enters, it deflects light onto a photo sensor, triggering the alarm.

  • Especially effective in detecting smoldering fires that produce smoke before flames appear.


🔴 Heat Detector

  • Designed to sense abnormal rises in room temperature caused by fire.

  • Responds to thermal energy radiated from flames.

  • Common types:

    1. Fixed Temperature Heat Detector – Activates when the temperature exceeds a preset threshold.

    2. Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector – Activates when the temperature increases rapidly within a short period.

  • Ideal for kitchens, boiler rooms, and industrial spaces where smoke detectors may cause false alarms.
