It will mean all the difference between a reliable fire alarm system and a faulty one. Before everything, it is also important for you to know the main components of a fire alarm system.

Key components of a fire alarm system

Alarm panel – The fire alarm panel is the main control panel used for monitoring and managing all the initiating devices and sending signals to the notification devices in case there are any issues discovered. There is usually a circuit card in the alarm panel. Generally, there will also be a display with information regarding the system’s status, codes for troubleshooting and a touchpad for manual use. The alarm panel is used to start and disable alarms, or reset the system if needed.

Initiating devices – Initiating devices can be classified as manually actuated and automatically actuated devices. Manually actuated devices include fire alarm boxes, pull stations, break glass stations, basically ones that involve physical interaction, like pressing a button or pulling a lever to sound the alarm. Heat detectors, smoke detectors, flame detectors, and etc. are called automatically actuated devices.

Notification devices – The notification device, on the other hand, alerts the people to safely move out because there is a fire in the premises. These devices use sound, light, or a combination of alarms to notify the people of the situation. Notification devices include bells, voice evacuation systems, strobes, horns, and etc.

Power supply – The fire alarm system is mainly connected to the building’s power supply. There should also be a back-up power supply typically as batteries or generators so as to keep the alarm system working in case of a power failure.
