But before you put your money in any kind of fire alarm system, it’s important to know how they operate. Armed with this knowledge, you can better ascertain an emergency situation and act accordingly.

What is a fire alarm system?

A fire alarm system is basically a combination of detection and sounding devices which are co-dependent. Just like you have a CPU in a computer which acts as its brain, you have an FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) here that acts as the brain of the alarm. Besides this, there is a power supply network that connects the alarm system to the main and backup power supply.

The working of the fire alarm system can seem both simple and complex at the same time. First of all, in case there is smoke, it is picked up by the detection device which immediately conveys the danger to the FACP. The FACP, being the brain of ...
... the system, decides on the course of action to take. These actions could be alerting the nearest fire station, activating the sprinkler system, sounding the alarm, etc.

Your fire alarm system can give different types of signals, each of which has its own specific meaning. For example - a trouble signal can indicate power failure, battery problems, and other connectivity issues. A supervisory signal can indicate connection problems between the fire alarm and the protection equipment such as a sprinkler. It can also indicate a change in humidity or problems in the compressor.

Knowing about these signals is important as it will help you keep the fire alarm system in check, which in turn will keep any kind of fire hazard in check. Also, proper maintenance of the fire alarm system will help prevent any kind of false alarms.

Heat vs Smoke Detectors

Once you have decided to install a fire alarm system, the next thing you need to decide is whether you want to go for a smoke detector or a heat detector. Just as the name suggests, a smoke detector detects the smoke.

A heat detector on the other hand alerts the system when a certain critical temperature is reached. Heat detectors are generally highly accurate. Since the temperature reached in case of a fire is considerably high, there are lesser chances of a heat detector sounding a false alarm.

Being the leading fire alarm system supplier in the UAE, Spectrum Middle East Trading LLC (SPECTRUM ME) specializes in providing fire alarm systems fitted with either of the two detectors. Whether your fire alarm system requires routine maintenance or an emergency repair, Spectrum Trading has a ready team 24*7 to answer your calls.
