Case Study
Fire alarm is a unit made of several devices, which uses visual and audio signalization to warn people about a possible fire, smoke, or carbon monoxide occurrence in the area of coverage. Fire alarms are usually set in fire alarm systems to provide zonal coverage for residences and commercial buildings. The warning signal is either a loud siren/bell or a flashing light, or it can include both. Some fire alarm systems use additional warnings, such as sending a voice message or making a phone call to the clients.
Depending on the client’s specific needs and the compatibility with the existing systems, AFRICOM INTEGRAL SECURITY installs different types of fire systems as entailed here below.
1. Automatic fire alarm systems are activated through fire detectors, such as fire Exit-door, smoke or heat sensors.
2. Manual fire alarm systems are activated with manual break-glass, call points or pull stations. There is no reason for a fire alarm system to exclude one or the other. Both can be included in the same system.
3. Conventional fire alarm systems work as one unit and cannot pinpoint the exact area of activation unless physically inspected.
4. Addressable fire alarm systems have a specifically dedicated address for each fire alarm detector that is connected to the control panel, for easier identification of the source of the danger.
