PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR

Photoelectric smoke detector uses a light beam

to help detect the presence of smoke.
According to NFPA, these alarm types are
more effective at sounding when a fire
originates from a smoldering source, like a lit
cigarette that falls into a couch cushion.

FIRE ALARM ANNOUNCIATOR

A fire alarm annunciator is commonly called a

remote annunciator and is located in an area of
the building separate from the FACP. The
remote annunciator notifies the facility staff and
other people in the building that the fire alarm
has detected a fire, smoky condition or system
problem.

DUCT DETECTOR

The primary uses of the Duct Smoke Detector

is to sample the air being moved through the
ductwork for smoke and to stop the fan unit
from running so smoke is not moved through
the ducting. In some applications, Duct Smoke
Detectors can be used for the control of
ventilation dampers.
BEAM DETECTOR
A beam detector is a fire detection device that
uses infrared beams to detect the presence of
smoke. Using a detector on one wall and a
reflector on the one opposite, the detector
shoots the infrared beam across an open area
to the reflector, which sends it straight back.

GAS DETECTOR

Gas detectors measure the level of different

gases within the air, and are used to prevent
anyone from being exposed to toxic gases that
could poison or kill. You may recognise them as
fire alarms or carbon monoxide detectors in your
home.

FLAME DETECTOR

A flame detector is a type of sensor that can detect

and respond to the presence of a flame. These
detectors have the ability to identify smokeless liquid
and smoke that can create open fire. For example, in
boiler furnaces flame detectors are widely used, as a
flame detector can detect heat, smoke, and fire.Jan

AIR SAMPLING TYPE DETECTOR

Air Sampling Smoke Detectors actively

pulls room air through a piping network
to its detection chamber where it can
detect the presence of particles that are
created in the very early stages of
combustion, even before smoke is
visible.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR

These detectors are designed to measure the

concentration of carbon monoxide in the air (in
parts per million, or ppm) and sound an alarm if
enough of the chemical is around long enough to
become a problem. If detected over the course of
a few hours, carbon monoxide at 70 ppm will
trigger an alarm.

EMERGENCY VOICE ALARM

Voice-based systems allow response personnel to

conduct orderly evacuation and notify building
occupants of changing event circumstances.
Audible textual appliances can be employed as
part of a fire alarm system that includes EVAC
capabilities.
CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL

A conventional fire alarm control panel

employs one or more electrical signalling
circuits (each a pair of wires), connected to
initiating devices (usually smoke detectors,
heat detectors, duct detectors, manual pull
stations, and sometimes flame detectors)
wired in parallel.

ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL

Addressable fire alarm control panels are

fire protection systems that are able to
swiftly detect and change in atmosphere
and pinpoint an exact location when trouble
arises. They're a more modern system that
operates digitally rather than analog like
conventional systems do.

FIRE COMMAND CENTER

A fire command center is a room dedicated

as the Fire Department response point, and
serves as the center for their emergency
operations. The FCC consolidates life safety
system components and information to allow
responders to efficiently evaluate and
manage an emergency in the building.
MANUAL CALL POINT

They are used to allow building occupants to signal

that a fire or other emergency exists within the
building. When activated they will raise a plastic flag
out of the top to tell which alarm was activated.

SOUNDER BEACON

The Sounder Beacon Base is a loop-powered sounder

and beacon combined with a standard XP95/Discovery
mounting base. It is used to signal a fire alarm in
enclosed areas. The Sounder Beacon Base can be
used either with a detector fitted or with a cap for
operation as a stand-alone alarm device.

MINI STROBE SIREN

It draws attention away from the main control with a loud

siren and rapid flashes in the unfortunate event of a
triggered alarm.
