    Fire alarm system plays an important part of the fire and life safety of building and its occupants. Fire alarm system main function is to detect a fire at a sufficiently early stage so that the people who are at risk can made safely either by escaping as fast as possible or extinguishing the fire that can also reduce or prevent the property damage. Therefore, a reliability and functionality of fire alarm system as a whole is very important. 

    The following are the different types of the Fire Alarm System:

    1. Conventional fire alarm system

    a. Conventional fire alarm system uses physical cabling to connect several detectors and call points. Conventional fire alarm system has no way to identify immediately the exact location of the fire, but can be arranged in “Zones” to easily identify the location of the cause of the alarm. Its devices are cheaper but will consume more cable wires compare to addressable, since each device will be connected to the control panel by its own cable wire. This system are mainly used specially in smaller property.

    2. Addressable fire alarm system

    a. Addressable fire alarm system has the same detection principle, except that each detector can be given a set address that can help to identify the exact location of the detector that initiated the alarm, that can be seen in the fire alarm control panel. Addressable fire alarm system saves a lot of wire compare to conventional system, since the devices can share one cable wires up to the last device. Both ends of the wire is loop connected to the fire alarm control panel. This system are very suitable for large and high buildings, since they are able to pinpoint exactly which devices are triggering the alarm.

    3. Wireless fire alarm system

    a. Wireless fire alarm system, is hassle-free to install compare to conventional and addressable since it does not use any conduit and cable wires. However, even though you saved a lot of money in material and labor cost, the hardware and programming are higher than the wired systems. The devices are battery powered and can be placed anywhere and can be easily relocate if needed.

    Fire Alarm System Components 

    The main component of fire alarm system are the following:
    1. Fire Alarm Control Panel
    Fire Alarm Control Panel is the brain or central hub of a fire alarm system. It displays the location and status of the alarm devices, and it gives precise location of the device that cause the alarm.

    2. Fire Alarm Initiating Devices
    Fire Alarm Initiating Devices are the devices that detects signs of fire and triggers the alarm. They are connected to the fire alarm system control panel. Initiating devices includes smoke detectors, heat detectors, flame detectors, manual pull station and fire sprinkler water flow switch.

    3. Fire Notification Devices
    Fire Notification Devices are the audible and visual devices in fire alarm system, it includes fire alarm horn, speaker and bell. Its main function is to alert people at risk in the event of a fire, that is why it is considered as the most important components of fire alarm system.

    4. Primary Power Supply
    Primary power supply is typically supplied by the local utility, and also from generators that are located in remote areas wherein the electrical grid is not available. 
    5. Backup Power Supply
    Backup power supply commonly supplied by batteries and stored internally or adjacent to main fire alarm control panel or can be also from generator. It must also provide a 24 hours of power supply to control panel in case of power shortage.

    How Fire Alarm System Works? 

    In an event of a fire emergency, the fire alarm system main role is to detect fire and to alert people at risk inside the building and emergency response team to control the situation as fast as possible. Fire alarm system key functions is to detect (by the use of smoke detectors, heat detectors, flame detectors, etc.) , alert (by the use alarm horn, speaker, and bell), and monitor (control panel). 

    Fire Alarm System Maintenance 

    A functioning and well-maintained fire alarm devices can help reduce injuries, save lives and properties. The fire safety systems inspection, routine maintenance, and testing will help one in keeping in compliance with the local/state fire inspectors and also their insurance carrier. To keep the best condition of the fire alarm devices, it is advisable to keep a scheduled maintenance and check the following: 
    1. Checking of physical appearance of the fire alarm devices
    2. Smoke Detectors should be cleaned & tested for sensitivity levels (addressable type)
    3. Fire alarm control panel should be tested for all alarm, trouble, supervisory, reset & silence function
    4. Checking of the devices power supply
    5. Checking/ replacement of batteries
    6. Checking/ removal of any obstruction on the devices that may cause false alarm or malfunctioning
    7. Checking if the alarm is audible
    8. Devices must be replaced when exceeded 10 years from the manufactured date

What is Wireless Fire Alarm system?
2023-09-05
A wireless fire alarm is an electronic device that is used to monitor a building for fire.
A wired fire alarm system is one that makes use of wires to send signals between the various devices across the system and the control panel, while a wireless fire alarm system makes use of radio frequencies to transmit the signals. 
 
 
Wireless fire alarm systems offer a variety of benefits and advantages such as:
 
• Reliability equal to a wired system 
• Quick to install and can be fitted with minimum disruption 
• Can be easily installed in buildings where there is limited access 
• Layout is easily modified if something in your building changes e.g., you extend 
• Will save you money on labor 
• Can be used as a temporary system in locations where a wired one can’t be installed e.g., building sites 
• Can be used to extend the existing wired system.
 

 
Asenware wireless fire alarm system version features:
 
• Can connect both wired and wireless detectors
• Each zone can connect up to 20 wireless detectors and 20 wired detectors, increasing the capacity of each zone
• Connect wireless detectors, save costq
• Wireless detectors are low power and can be used for up to 5 years
• Each wireless detector contains a sounder, Alarm >75db
• The control panel can remotely reset and mute the wireless detector.


How do wireless fire alarm systems work?
 
There are no prizes for guessing that a wireless fire alarm system has no wires.  Instead, a radio signal is transmitted from the call points and smoke or heat detectors to the fire alarm control panel (the call point is the box on the wall where you can raise the alarm if you spot a fire).
From the point of view of anyone using a building fitted with a wireless system, it works in exactly the same way as a ‘normal’ hard-wired system – you spot a fire, you break a call point; a call point breaks, and the alarm sounds.
There’s no special training required and you’re protected in exactly the same way.
 
 
Where are wireless fire alarm systems used?
 
Wireless fire alarm systems are a great option for properties of all types. These are especially appropriate for areas with a focus on aesthetics and do not want visible wires on their premises.
Below are some scenarios where it would be ideal to select wireless fire alarm systems:
• Buildings with high ceilings where traditional cabling and wiring would be difficult;
• Historic or listed buildings where there are restrictions when it comes to alterations being made to the building’s structure;
• Properties where the look and experience would be ruined by unsightly cables;
• Temporary locations, such as construction sites, that may require a fire alarm;
• Businesses that plan on expanding in the near future;
• Businesses that would suffer in the event of a power failure;
• Communal buildings and blocks of flats where wired fire alarm systems would be disruptive as well as time-consuming.
