How does a fire-detection system work?
A fire-detection system continuously monitors a building to identify the first signs of a fire (smoke, heat, flame or gas). When an abnormal phenomenon is detected, it automatically triggers the alarm and can control various safety devices: smoke control, compartmentation, automatic suppression or evacuation.
What are the different types of detectors?
- Optical smoke detectors
- Heat detectors
- Multi-criteria detectors
- Flame detectors
- Gas detectors
- Linear detection
- Aspirating detection
- Thermal cameras
What is a fire control panel?
The fire control panel is the brain of the system. It receives information from the detectors, triggers the alarms, controls the safety equipment and informs the operating teams.
How to choose the right detection technology?
The choice depends on many parameters: activity, building height, temperature, humidity, presence of dust, nature of stored products and operational constraints. A technical study defines the most suitable solution.
What is a Fire Safety System (SSI)?
The SSI is the set of equipment used to detect a fire, alert occupants and automatically command a building's safety devices.
What is the difference between a fire alarm and an SSI?
A fire alarm warns occupants. The SSI coordinates all safety devices:
- alarm
- smoke control
- compartmentation
- shutdown of technical installations
- evacuation
What is an ECS?
The Control and Signalling Equipment (ECS) centralises the information coming from the fire detectors.
What is a CMSI?
The Fire Safety Centraliser (CMSI) controls the safety equipment:
- smoke control
- fire doors
- dampers
- smoke vents
- lifts
What is a DAS?
An Actuated Safety Device is equipment automatically commanded by the SSI:
- damper
- fire door
- shutter
- smoke vent
