Conventional Fire Alarm Systems:

Conventional fire alarm systems are a basic way of providing a fire alarm for protection.

An area is wired as a circuit (normally called a zone), starting at the control panel and ending at the last device. Smoke detectors, heat detectors and call points are placed on this circuit. A number of zones are required, depending on the building's layout and size.

A system has up to 32 zones of detection. If an alarm occurs, the area affected shows up on the control panel in red L.E.D. The area then has to be searched to find out which device went into alarm – indicated by red L.E.D. on the device itself.

Fire Alarm Devices 

Heat Detectors, Smoke Detectors, Flame Detectors, Call Points (Break Glass Units) Sprinkler Systems, Air Sampling Devices, Air Suppression System, Strobe Beacon Siren. These are just a few options mentioned for a modern day Fire Alarm System.

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems:

Addressable fire alarm systems are a more advanced way of providing fire alarm protection.

The area is wired as a loop, starting and ending at the control panel. Smoke detectors, heat detectors, call points, interfaces and sounders are placed on this loop. A number of loops might be required, depending on the building's layout and size.

A system has up to four loops of detection. If an alarm occurs, both the location of the alarm and the affected device is indicated on the control panel. The device will also display a red indicator light to highlight its location.

Smoke detectors, call points and sounders can be run on the same circuit, which reduces installation costs.
