Empowering Safety through Fire Alarm Technology
Conventional Fire Alarm System
Conventional systems are hardware-based and use analog technology. Conventional fire alarm systems are made up of zones. Multiple devices, both initiating and notification devices, make up a zone which connect to the main control panel. Conventional systems are analog in that they use electrical currents to communicate with the control panel. Initiating and notification devices are designed to dramatically increase the current in the circuit (the amount of electricity flowing through the wires) any time the environmental conditions (heat or smoke) in the area of the sensor exceed a predetermined threshold.
Advantages of Conventional
The fact that conventional fire alarm systems are quite affordable is one of their benefits. The traditional fire control panel is still a fantastic choice for small buildings even though it is not pricey.
How do conventional systems works?
A conventional fire alarm system is one with radial wiring (single cable legs). These radials, which are either fire alarm zones or sounder circuits, are wired from the primary fire alarm panel. The radial circuits that keep an eye on the detectors and manual call locations are called fire alarm zones.
