   How do fire alarm systems work?

   • All Fire Alarm Systems essentially operate on the same principle. If a detector detects smoke or heat or someone operates a break glass unit (manual break point), then alarm sounders operate to warn others in the building that there may be a fire and to evacuate.

   How does an ionization smoke detector work?

   • The circuit in the detector spots that change straight away (8) and sounds the alarm (9). Once the fire is out and the smoke is gone, the detection chamber clears, the ions travel back and forth between the electrodes as before, the circuit shuts down, and the alarm stops sounding.

   How does a smoke detector work?

   • Smoke enters through the slits around the side, triggering an electronic horn, which sounds through the large circular opening on the right. The dark circle in the middle is a test button with a built-in LED that flashes to show the detector is working okay. Get a smoke detector... check a smoke detector! Which is best, ionization or optical?

   How does a light detector work?

   • The same chamber contains a photocell (3), which is an electronic light detector that generates electricity when light falls on it. Normally, when there is no smoke about, the light beam from the LED does not reach the detector. An electronic circuit (4), monitoring the photocell, detects that all is well and nothing happens.

   When was the first fire alarm invented?
