Fire Alarm System
A fire alarm system is a crucial component of building safety infrastructure designed to detect and warn people through visual and auditory signals about the presence of fire, smoke, or other emergencies.
- Smoke Detectors : These sensors detect smoke particles in the air and trigger the alarm when a certain threshold is reached. There are different types of smoke detectors, such as ionization and photoelectric detectors.
- Heat Detectors : These sensors activate the alarm when they detect a rapid rise in temperature, indicating the presence of a fire.
- Carbon Monoxide Detectors : These sensors detect the presence of carbon monoxide gas, which is harmful and often emitted during fires or as a result of faulty combustion appliances.
- Pull Stations : These manual devices allow individuals to manually activate the alarm system by pulling a handle or pressing a button.
- Control Panel : The control panel is the brain of the fire alarm system. It receives signals from detectors and activates the alarm and notification devices when necessary. It also provides status indicators and may include controls for testing and silencing alarms.
