A fire alarm control system combines several components such as a carbon monoxide detector, heat detector, smoke detector, multi-sensor detector, alert points, bells, relay module, repeater, annunciator and a fire control panel. Additional security devices can be added to the system and even be optional.
A fire detection and protection system is necessary due to the following reasons.
- Its initial purpose is to detect fire in the area.
- A fire exit alert pulls attention to its necessity for safely exiting the building.
- Quickly dispatch trained personnel to assist in containing the fire.
- To automatically employ fire control and suppression techniques.
- Supplying overseeing and discipline for the fire control and suppression routines.
Alongside providing notification that they are operating, these devices serve as a heat-detection system for buildings with connected notification appliances. Since these devices perform more slowly than smoke detection systems, facilities with sprinklers still need an alarm and heat detection system. This is because the public needs to know when a fire breaks out quickly, even if they have sprinklers.
Detectors and alarms must be regularly maintained and tested to ensure proper functionality. Regular maintenance includes changing the batteries of battery-powered alarms at least once per year. Alternatively, non-battery-powered alarms should be tested on a monthly basis. The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing batteries monthly for units with battery backup.
Ideally, maintenance and alarm installation should always be performed by a qualified professional.
