Introducing Smart Fire Alarm Management
Our brand new Smart Fire Alarm Management service will integrate into your existing fire alarm panel to capture and report fire alarm activity to ensure that your system remains compliant for auditing. The system is a non-intrusive addition to your existing fire alarm control panel, which communicates all fire activity to a cloud-hosted database - making everyday fire alarm management less of a burden.
The Main Components of a Fire Alarm System
Fire alarm systems can be very complex, and many will depend on the requirements of individual sites and client needs. However, all systems will include some core components.
Commonly used as the primary interface with the fire alarm system, the panel can be used as a connection point to communicate with connected devices and detectors, report the system status, review alarms and check incoming data. Panels can be preconfigured units or designed to suit your requirements.
Carefully positioned around a building and tested regularly, detector units can detect heat, smoke and carbon monoxide, or a combination of all three. Some systems may also include CCTV video units that will detect flame.
Often, manual call points are the most noticeable parts of a fire alarm system, positioned around a building in convenient and accessible positions. Anyone discovering a fire should be able to easily activate the system to raise the alarm.
While sounders and bells may not be obvious to a casual visitor, once activated, they will be hard to ignore. Audible alarms need to be heard throughout the building above any normal background noise, and may include bells, sirens and pre-recorded spoken instructions.
Most helpful in noisy environments where workers may be using ear protection, visual alarms can be used to indicate an alarm and a specific location.
Also known as relays, interfaces control equipment that may be connected to your alarm system. They can be used for a variety of things, depending on your system requirements (such as lift grounding or monitoring the sprinkler system).
