Overview

The basics of fire detection:
A control panel is the hub of the detection system.
All the devices which are part of the fire detection
system are connected to this central panel which
processes the signals received from the input
devices and gives out signals to the output devices.
Input devices such as detectors measure signals of
combustion and communicate with panels, which
in turn trigger output devices such as an audible or
visual alarm device. Fire alarm panels can be further
sub segmented into addressable or conventional
panels.
There are various types of fire detection systems
each suited to different applications or building
types. A fire detection system can vary significantly
in both complexity and price, from a single panel
with a detector and sounder in a small commercial
property to a complex intelligent addressable
system in a multi-occupancy building.
A fire detection system can comprise of detection
devices, notification devices and manual callpoints.
The size of the building determines the number
of detectors that would be required. The system
works via the control panel receiving signals from
the detection devices and then sending transmitting
signals to the notification devices.
