FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM

Fire Alarm System is designed to provide warning Alarm to the outbreak of fire
so that appropriate fire fighting action could be taken before the situation gets
out of control.

There are two primary functions of fire alarm system.

1. Detect fire or fire condition

2. Give alarm in all parts of the Areas
Design, Arrangements and Installation

The design, arrangements and installation of the automatic fire detection and
alarm system are to comply with Chapter 9 of the IMO FSS Code as well as any
additional or more requirements in 4-7-3/11 of the ABS Steel Vessel Rules or in

1 To test the control panel display, use: Menu > 5 Settings > 4 Test display.
Smoke Detectors Test
Use suitable test equipment, available at your authorized dealer
Recommended: Aerosal /Smoke Capsule (Solo/Testifier)
Spray test gas on the detector for 0.5 seconds. Wait 10 seconds. Check if the alarm has been
activated if not Spray the detector for 1 second and the detector will be activated.
Heat Detectors Test
Use suitable test equipment, available at your authorized dealer
Recommended: Testifier Heat kit

To test the heat detector, apply heat to the sensing element.

If other test equipment is used, for example, a heating gun, do not over-heat the detector by
holding the heat-source too close to the detector. This could damage the detector.

Flame Detectors Test

Danger!
Cigarette lighter should not be used for testing in explosive areas.
Test flame detectors using a test lamp.
Test for Cable Break
Measure the resistance between the + and - poles. Connect an ohm meter between
the + poles. The measured value should be less then 185 Ohm.

Measure and repeat the procedure for the - poles.

Test for Short Circuits

Measure the resistance between the + pole and the - pole. Connect an ohm-meter
between the two poles The measured value should be more than 100 KOhm.

Test for Earth Failure

Measure between the + and - pole and earth to detect an earth fault. Connect the
ohm meter between the + pole and earth. The measured value should be more than
50 kOhm. Values below 8 kOhm (±2 kOhm) will be indicated as earth fault.

Measure and repeat the procedure for the - pole.

1.Smoke Detector
2.Heat Detector
3.Flame Detector
4.Manual Call Points
5.Audio Visual Alarm
6.Timers
Smoke detectors
1. Photoelectric Smoke Detector.

Photoelectric light smoke detectors employ a light source and a

light sensitive device. When smoke particles block the light
beam, the light sensitive device identifies the reduction in light
and its Respond.

2. Ionization Smoke Detector

Ionization-type smoke detector have a small amount of

radioactive material between two electrically charged plates,
which ionizes the air and causes current to flow between the
plates. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of
ions, thus reducing the flow of current and activating the alarm.
Heat detectors
1. Fixed temp type heat detector

This is the most common type of heat detector. Fixed

temperature detectors operate when the heat
sensitive reaches the set point

2. Rate-of-Rise type heat detector

Rate-of-Rise (ROR) heat detectors operate on a rapid rise in

element temperature increase per minute. This type of heat
detector can operate at a lower temperature fire condition
than would be possible if the threshold were fixed.
Flame detectors

1. Ultraviolet light (UV)

The combustion flames of most carbon-based fuels emit

sufficient UV radiation to enable the UV flame detector to
prove the presence of a flame in a combustion chamber.

2. Infrared (IR)

Infrared flame sensors are designed to work within

the infrared spectral band. A certain hot gasses will emit
patterns in the infrared region, which can then be analyzed
using a specialized thermal imaging camera.
