Addressable Fire Alarm System
Differences between Conventional & Addressable Fire Alarm Systems ...
There are several differences between conventional & addressable fire alarm systems. These differences include;
Addressable fire alarm systems give information about individual detectors, whereas conventional systems only give information about specific circuits (zones). Due to this, addressable systems allow a courtesy text label to allow easy identification of any event. For instance detector 1 may be given the label “Bedroom 1″. Most addressable systems allow an early “pre-alarm” warning, which allows the responsible person to investigate potential alarms before the system activates it`s sirens Many addressable systems can alter the alarm threshold of the detectors, in order to meet the needs of different environments in different areas of the system Addressable systems are usually wired in a loop. Conventional systems are usually wired as radial circuits. Addressable systems usually have a real time clock & event log to record system events. Larger addressable systems usually have the ability to use sophisticated programming options to operate certain outputs only with specific events. Historically, addressable systems have tended to be complicated to configure, and cost between 50% to 100% more than a conventional equivalent.We supply a complete range of convention & addressable fire alarm systems at competitive prices & free delivery. In particular the Simplicity Micro Addressable Fire Alarm System has been designed to bridge the gap between the two. Effectively offering the desirable features of an addressable system at almost the cost of a conventional one.
Choosing school control panel features-simple as a,b,c
Within our parents' lifetimes, we've moved from fire alarm control panels (FACPs) using simple electrical relays to today's microprocessor-based units, able to integrate thousands of inputs.
To put this all in context, keep in mind that in 1959 the Integrated Circuit (IC) was invented. The first modern computer was the ENIAC, which weighed 30 tons. The ENIAC had 18,000 vacuum tubes, 70,000 resistors and 10,000 capacitors. All its processing was replaced with one small IC chip and microprocessors have been evolving ever since. Technology has driven our industry for the last 50 years. Did you realize that the cordless hand tools we use today to install fire alarm systems were invented in 1961? The ubiquitous LED was invented in 1962. The first residential smoke alarm wasn't invented until 1969 which was one year before engineers at Corning made a glass fiber that transmitted light well enough to be used for communication. The cell phone came along in 1973 but the CCD camera wasn't produced until 1980. Wireless networking (Wi-Fi) wasn't even available until 2002.
