Get Aware of Fire Safety1311352
Sudden burst of fire can trigger property damages and if not detected and controlled initially it can destroy the entire property and can also be harmful for humans living in the premises of the property whether it is industrial or residential. In order to make sure the safety of the resident as well as property it is necessary to install Fire detection and fire alarm systems in buildings whether it is a commercial or residential building. Fortunately, Due to the technological advancement in current decades we have now a range of fire detection and alarm systems catering to the require of clients. There are three types of fire detection and alarm systems, these are
• Clever Addressable System (CAS) • Conventional System • Hybrid System
Clever Addressable System (CAS)
This is the most sophisticated fire detection and alarm system. Clever addressable system ensures speedy detection of fire identifies the precise location of the fire and also require easier maintenance. The detectors, sounders, call points and the interface modules are connected on the same pair of wires.
Advantages of Clever Addressable System
• The main advantage of Clever Addressable system is that all the detectors have an person address on the control panel, so in case of detection alarm, the precise location of the fire can be detected from the control panel utilizing the individual number of the detector. • Clever Addressable system uses only single pair wire for wiring up to 200 devices, so wiring of the Clever Addressable system can be price effective and easy to preserve. • Brief circuit isolators in the wiring make sure continuous operation even in case of short circuit in the loop wiring. • Sensitivity of various detectors can be optimized in loop wiring. • Sprinkler switches, fire dampers, current fire alarm systems can be contacted from monitor modules.
Conventional System
As the name indicates this is most typical and extensively used Fire system. In this system, fire alarm control panel receives signals from detectors and call points and in turn, signals the condition to alarm sounders and remote signaling equipments. Conventional system consists of smoke, beam or heat detectors in designated zones.
Benefits of Conventional system
• If you do not have to cover large premises then Traditional Fire detection is the best to choose. • This comes cheaper than addressable fire detection and alarm system. • This one can be advantageous for residential apartments and for small businesses. • Traditional fire detection and alarm system comprise of control panel, smoke detectors, heat detectors, Beam detectors, break glass units and hooters.
Hybrid system
Hybrid fire detection and alarm system combines the capabilities of addressable and conventional system each. This structure comprise main control panel with addressable and traditional devices.
Benefits of Hybrid system
• Hybrid system assists to steadily upgrade the fire alarm from conventional to addressable. • The control panel of the system has cards which can take both traditional and addressable devices. • The procedure of upgrading from hybrid to addressable is price effective.
