Sudden burst of fire can trigger property damages and if not detected and controlled initially it can destroy the whole property and can also be dangerous for humans living in the premises of the property whether or not it is commercial or residential. In order to ensure the safety of the resident as nicely as property it is essential to set up Fire detection and fire alarm systems in buildings whether it is a industrial or residential building. Fortunately, Due to the technological advancement in current decades we have now a variety of fire detection and alarm systems catering to the require of customers. 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 advanced fire detection and alarm system. Clever addressable system guarantees speedy detection of fire identifies the exact 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.

Benefits of Clever Addressable System

• The main benefit of Clever Addressable system is that all the detectors have an person address on the control panel, so in case of detection alarm, the exact location of the fire can be detected from the control panel using the person 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 cost efficient and simple to preserve. • Brief circuit isolators in the wiring ensure continuous operation even in case of brief circuit in the loop wiring. • Sensitivity of different detectors can be optimized in loop wiring. • Sprinkler switches, fire dampers, existing 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 situation to alarm sounders and remote signaling equipments. Traditional system consists of smoke, beam or heat detectors in designated zones.

Benefits of Traditional system

• If you do not have to cover large premises then Conventional Fire detection is the very best to choose. • This comes less expensive than addressable fire detection and alarm system. • This one can be beneficial for residential apartments and for small companies. • Conventional 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 both. This structure comprise main control panel with addressable and conventional devices.

Advantages of Hybrid system

• Hybrid system helps to gradually 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 process of upgrading from hybrid to addressable is cost efficient.
