Get Aware of Fire Security3726410
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 it is industrial or residential. In order to ensure the safety of the resident as well as property it is necessary to install Fire detection and fire alarm systems in buildings whether or not it is a commercial or residential building. Luckily, Due to the technological advancement in current decades we have now a variety 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 exact place of the fire and also need easier maintenance. The detectors, sounders, call points and the interface modules are connected on the exact same pair of wires.
Advantages of Clever Addressable System
• The main advantage of Clever Addressable system is that all the detectors have an individual address on the control panel, so in case of detection alarm, the exact place of the fire can be detected from the control panel using the individual number of the detector. • Clever Addressable system utilizes only single pair wire for wiring up to 200 devices, so wiring of the Clever Addressable system can be cost efficient and easy to preserve. • Short circuit isolators in the wiring make sure continuous operation even in case of short circuit in the loop wiring. • Sensitivity of different detectors can be optimized in loop wiring. • Sprinkler switches, fire dampers, current fire alarm systems can be contacted from monitor modules.
Traditional System
As the name indicates this is most common 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 Traditional Fire detection is the 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 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 both. This structure comprise primary control panel with addressable and traditional 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 price effective.
