What is an addressable fire alarm system?
The addressable fire alarm system is a set of electronic equipment that, in addition to the fire alarm, also determines the exact location of the fire. These systems are available in conventional and smart types. Arat fire alarm center provides all kinds of addressable fire alarm systems.
Other services that can be provided by this group, in addition to selling fire alarm equipment, are the design of various types of fire alarm systems and the installation and implementation of fire alarm systems.
Technical specifications and how the addressable fire alarm system works
In the addressable fire alarm system, each of the devices can be traced with precise coding and addressing. The way the addressable fire alarm system works is exactly like the conventional fire alarm system, with the difference that in addition to zoning, parts (detectors and other equipment) have specific addresses, which enable accurate detection of the location of the incident.
After the zoning and installation of the addressable fire alarm System in the environment, the system is put in standby mode and after the fire occurs and its detection, the exact location of the fire is determined by the exact address given to the detector and sensors. to be In the addressable fire alarm system, each part has its own code that has its own place in the control panel.
When a detector has a fire or error, its complete specifications such as the code and type of part, zone and installation location are displayed on the addressable fire alarm control panel screen.
Addressable fire alarm System components
- Addressable control panel
- Addressable smoke detector
- Addressable gas detector
- Addressable thermal detector
- Addressable flame detector
- Addressable beam detector
- Addressable push button and siren
All these devices are addressable. Also, this system has peripheral equipment.
Types of addressing methods for addressable fire alarm System equipment
Addressing of addressable equipment is done in the following three ways:
Manual addressing
Some devices include this type of setting. In fact, they enter the desired numbers using a probe. This type of equipment cannot be moved between different brands and is less useful.
Physical addressing
This type of addressing is done in two ways: dip switch and rotary keys. Addressing the dip switch on the equipment is complicated and difficult. However, addressing via rotary switches is easy and therefore very useful.
Automatic addressing
In this way, the panel addresses automatically. This type of equipment is also not possible to move between different brands and for that reason, they are of little use.
Application of addressable fire alarm system
The addressable fire alarm System is more suitable for large projects, high-traffic and high-risk places, as well as very large and crowded residential buildings due to its special feature. Also, it is used in places such as hospitals, hotels, large shopping centers, etc.
Smart addressable fire alarm system (analog)
An intelligent or analog addressable fire alarm System is a system that is continuously active and, unlike conventional addressable systems, is not in standby mode and continuously measures the conditions and environment. Unlike conventional addressable systems, these systems are not 0 and 1 and have continuous monitoring.
The function of a conventional addressable fire alarm System is based on relays. However, the operation of the smart fire alarm system is based on microprocessors and programmed software.
Advantages of using an addressable fire alarm system
The main advantage of the addressable fire alarm system, which distinguishes it from other systems, is that it specifies the exact address of the fire location. Therefore, it gives more speed to fire detection and fire extinguishing operations.
Another advantage of the addressable fire alarm System is its easy wiring. Ease of wiring reduces installation costs. Since all detectors and sensors are on a loop, equipment can be added to the system.
Addressable fire alarm system price
The addressable fire alarm system in different brands is different in terms of the number of loops and the number of components in each loop. The price of the addressable fire alarm system is influenced by the number of loops and the maximum number of parts that can be placed on each loop.
