Network alarm system

Network alarm system

There are many types of fire alarm and detect alarm systems, and their use has become common in all facilities and buildings, whether private or governmental, due to their importance and benefits in predicting and controlling accidents and fires. We will talk about some of the stages of fire alarm and detection systems and the importance of their use in detail.

The importance of using fire alarm and detection systems

The importance of using fire alarm and detect alarm systems lies in maintaining safety and security in facilities and buildings due to their ability to quickly predict the outbreak of fire and sense it in its early stages, allowing sufficient time to intervene and control the fire before it spreads.

These systems convert sensor signals into audio and visual alarms, alerting personnel on site to the presence of imminent danger, helping to evacuate buildings quickly and avoid casualties and casualties. 

In addition, these systems are essential at times when people are asleep or not around, and human senses are unable to detect a fire. Relying on advanced fire alarm and detect alarm systems that comply with standard standards enhances the effectiveness of preventive measures and ensures a quick and effective emergency response.

Network alarm systems cannot determine the causes or strength of a fire, and sometimes they issue false alarms that lead to some problems. This is often due to the type of reagents used, which may be inappropriate for the setting or not distributed correctly.

Therefore, it was agreed that the audio signal of the Network alarm system should be approximately 15 decibels higher than the sound spreading within the range of the detector installation, and that these devices should conform to the standard standards for civil protection, and have been subjected to tests by accredited testing laboratories.

Types of fire alarm and detection systems

Fire alarm and detection systems come in different types and can be classified into the following categories:

  • Conventional System
    • It is based on dividing the building into specific zones, with a group of detectors connected to each other within each zone. When a fire is detected, the system issues an alarm indicating the specific zone, requiring the security official to move to determine the exact location of the fire.
  • order Titled (Addressable System)
    • Each detector in this system has a unique address, allowing the location of the fire to be determined more accurately. Zone data, detector number and fire timing appear on the control panel, facilitating a quick and accurate response.
  • Intelligent System
    • It relies on advanced technologies such as analysis of smoke, heat and other environmental factors. It can distinguish between real fires and false alarms, reducing the number of false alarms and improving emergency response.

These systems vary in cost, complexity, and degree of protection they provide, and the appropriate system must be chosen based on the size of the facility and its protection needs.
