TYPES OF FIRE ALARM
Conventional Fire Detection & Alarms System
If you are looking for a simpler, reliable fire alarm system and you have a small building, then a conventional (non-addressable) fire alarm could be the solution. A conventional fire alarm system allows you to have multiple detectors and sounders, each of which can be divided up in to zones. Unlike addressable fire alarms, each detector can not be identified individually so it does make a fire harder to locate, which is why this system is only suitable for smaller buildings. We offer conventional systems ranging from a 2 zone up to 16 zone.
Addressable Fire Detection & Alarms System
Wireless Fire Detection & Alarms System
Wireless fire alarm systems do not rely on wired connections between the devices and the control panel. Instead, the devices communicate with the control panel wirelessly, typically using radio frequencies. This allows for more flexibility in terms of installation, as there is no need to run cables throughout the building. In wireless fire alarm systems, devices such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points communicate with the control panel through wireless transceivers. These transceivers can be battery-powered or wired, and they send signals to the control panel when an alarm is triggered.
Hybrid Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
More recent developments have brought the technical ability to integrate radio fire with wired systems of all levels of sophistication, and thereby create a ‘hybrid’ solution, it really is cost- and performance-effective to consider wireless fire as part (if not all) of an installation in a vast range of applications scenarios – both new builds and refurbishments reconfigurations add-ons. Hybrid fire systems combine hard-wired and wireless, radio technologies under a single control regime.
