Get Aware of Fire Safety1504643
Sudden burst of fire can cause 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 industrial or residential. In order to make sure the security of the resident as nicely as property it is essential to install Fire detection and fire alarm systems in buildings whether 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 need of customers. There are 3 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 precise place 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 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 person 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 price effective and simple to preserve. • Short circuit isolators in the wiring make sure continuous operation even in case of brief circuit in the loop wiring. • Sensitivity of various detectors can be optimized in loop wiring. • Sprinkler switches, fire dampers, existing fire alarm systems can be contacted from monitor modules.
Traditional System
As the name indicates this is most common and widely 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 advantageous for residential apartments and for small businesses. • 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 each. This structure comprise main 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 conventional and addressable devices. • The process of upgrading from hybrid to addressable is cost efficient.
