Description

Buying a Fire Alarm System is one of the most important things you can do to keep your premises safe. In case a fire occurs, you become aware of it as soon as possible so that you can either put it out or escape.

The first step to protecting lives and property from the consequences of fires is setting up a high-quality Fire Alarm System. After installing it, it’s important that you keep the system well-maintained to make sure it’s always working at its best.

At Komal Micro System & Services we are dealing in high quality Fire Alarm Systems which act as significant method to protect lives and assets.
Fire alarm control panels perform a wide range of life-saving and property-protecting tasks. Some activate fire suppression or fire sprinkler systems, while others don’t. Some transmit a signal used to alert first responders, while others simply sound alarms in or around the building. Every fire panel acts as a middleman between devices that watch for hazards and devices tasked with alerting people to danger or problems with fire protection systems.

Here’s how that works: when a fire starts, a smoke detector, heat detector, hand-activated pull switch, or manual call point sends a signal to a fire panel. Fire sprinkler systems equipped with a flow switch or alarm pressure switch – devices designed to detect sprinkler activation – can also transmit a signal to the panel when water begins to flow through an activated sprinkler system.

The fire alarm control panel responds to any of these signals by lighting up or making noise, activating local bells or other signals, and/or sending a signal to fire officials or a private monitoring company tasked with notifying the authorities.

Many of these panels aren’t equipped to activate or send water to fire sprinkler heads, which usually activate one by one in response to rising ambient temperatures. However, panels installed with some deluge sprinkler systems, for example, can open or close a deluge valve, which allows fire suppressant to be distributed to many sprinkler heads simultaneously. Panels for fire alarm systems in some facilities go even further, locking or unlocking doors, disabling elevators, turning off the electricity, or shutting off or turning on ventilation.

These fire alarm control units are, like fire alarm systems, often classified in the fire protection industry as either “conventional” or “addressable.”

Conventional panels represent a building as a series of regions known as detection zones. When a smoke detector or pull switch in a zone activates, the electrical current to the fire alarm panel changes, and the control panel indicates that a device somewhere in that zone has been activated.
Devices connected to an addressable panel send data to the panel – rather than notifying via a change in electrical current – and display which specific device has activated. Each device has a unique “address” in the system, hence the name “addressable” panel. That additional level of detail allows personnel and first responders to more quickly identify exactly where the fire is and take appropriate action.
