The control unit powers the fire alarm system. It transmits signals from pull boxes and fire detectors to the alarm signal devices, either audible or visual, installed at strategic locations in the building. Audible signal devices include bells, speakers, and sirens, a strobe light being a common visual signal device.

Slide 1. Welcome to Chapter 8 Fire Alarm and Detection Systems. A fire alarm system is one of the three most important fire and life safety measures in a building along with fire separation and adequate exiting. In this Chapter we will identify when a fire alarm system is required, the types of systems available, the components that make up the ...

Fire detection and its corresponding safety systems are crucial parts of an intelligent building. This paper reviews the current state of development of fire detection and alarm systems in the intelligent building. New technologies and concepts developed in intelligent buildings, such as advanced multi-function sensors, computer vision systems an...
New sensor technologies will be key components in the next generation of intelligent buildings. Current intelligent buildings often have embedded processors and dedicated information networks. The new generation is expected to add the capability to learn about the building s circumstances and its occupants needs and change the behaviour of its co...
New intelligent building technologies have strong potential to improve fire safety. Multi-function sensors (i.e., chemical gas sensors, integrated sensor systems and computer vision systems) and wireless sensors will not only reduce expenditure on sensors, but also reduce false alarms, speed response times and reduce fire-related losses. Real-tim...

A fire alarm system is a system that includes signaling-alarm devices that automatically detect and com- municate fire information. Fire alarm systems are designed to work in a variety of environments. They should be physically fit during the operation. This is defined by the assembled units’ reliability and the operation process’s rational ...
