What are Conventional Fire Alarms?

If you are looking for a simpler, reliable fire alarm system and you have a small building, then a conventional (non-addressable) fire alarm could be the solution. A conventional fire alarm allows you to have multiple detectors and sounders, each of which can be divided up in to zones. Unlike addressable fire alarms, each detector can not be identified individually so it does make a fire harder to locate, which is why this system is only suitable for smaller buildings.

Our conventional control panels allow you to test and monitor the function of the entire system. It will alert you to any potential problems with the sounders or detectors so you can arrange repairs or servicing as necessary, maintaining your complete protection. We offer conventional systems ranging from a 2 zone up to 16 zone.

Additional Information

Conventional fire alarms have been available for many years now and as such, are a proven and reliable method of fire detection. Therefor this detection method offers a good basic level of protection and is ideal for smaller buildings especially where the budget may be a factor. Each of the detectors in the zone of the building are connected to the same pair of wires. This means that if any of the detectors are triggered, the zone where the detection has taken place is shown on the control panel, but not the exact location. If you have a lot of small rooms, even if the overall building is small, it would be advisable to use a more accurate addressable fire alarm system.

In order to assist the fire brigade in an emergency, Fire and Safety Solutions always recommend that when a conventional system is installed, a floor plan with the different zones shown clearly on the plan is installed next to the control panel. This basic method of quickly identifying the zone where the fire is located could be life saving.
