About this deal

These generally contain two chambers. One is used as a reference to compensate for changes in ambient temperature, humidity or pressure. The second contains a radioactive source, usually alpha particle, which ionizes the air passing through the chamber where a current flows between two electrodes. When any of the products of combustion enters the chamber the current flow decreases. This drop is used to initiate an alarm. Light obscuring Call point test keys are used to test your fire alarm is working correctly, they’re crucial for fire alarm systems Why Should I Test My Call Points? It is not the object of this note to consider the details of different circuit types or to discuss their relative merits. Types of Fire Alarm Systems It is vital for a regular test to be undertaken to ensure that there has not been a major failure of the entire fire detection and fire alarm system that may otherwise go unnoticed. Whether other work is to be done at the same time. If so then consultation with other contractors may be required.

This guidance contains brief descriptions of the major components which go to make up a fire alarm system. The points to be considered are intended to highlight the variables which can exist and need to be considered whilst designing and compiling a specification for component parts. Voice alarm systems should be tested weekly in accordance with BS5839 Part 8. If the system is connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) for calling the fire brigade, it is very important that the ARC is notified before testing commences and when it is complete Usually, close to the fire exit at 1.4m height to make sure that they are easily accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users. Fixed temperature which will operate when it is exposed to a pre-determined temperature. Normally fixed temperature detectors employ a fusible alloy element which must be replaced after the detector has operated. Different temperature rated elements are available to take account of varying ambient air temperatures. Panels are fully specified in British Standards. This requires that circuits are monitored continuously and that both audible and visual indication is provided for fault and fire alarm conditions. Further requirements include that alarm sounders may only be silenced manually, after which the control panel must provide audible and visual signals until the system is reset. Silencing of alarm sounders must not prevent the alarm being raised in other zones. It should be noted that the standards require all fault/alarm indicator lamps to be in duplicate or a single lamp with audible signal of lamp failure. Control and indicating panels may include facilities for operation of ancillary services such as fixed fire extinguishing, door closing etc.KAC offer a wide range of adaptor trays, enabling easy installation of KAC Manual Call Points anywhere in the world. Automatic monitoring and control of circuits external to the equipment, such as fire detection and fire alarm device circuits and supply of power to these circuits No British Standard exists specifically for this item and indicating panels. A diversion relay permits the audible signal until the system is reset. Self Contained Fire Alarm Units Proven time served reliability with a feature set that offers significant user benefits to the customer Documentation should describe the intended use of such accounts and the consequences of their inappropriate use. Details should be clearly documented and then communicated to the relevant workforce. It should be clear that all use of emergency accounts is closely monitored. A periodic review and retraining of staff should be done to make sure the break–glass procedure continues to be relevant.

Usually, they are located along the escape routes, near the fire exits, so that you can trigger the alarm without slowing down the evacuation process or putting yourself in unnecessary danger. According to the relevant regulatory requirements ( BS 5839), call points should be placed: The type of system required i.e. L1, L2, L3 etc and where appropriate, parts of the premises to be covered.

Control of Indicating Panels

Signals from the optical smoke chamber and temperature sensor are independent, and represent the smoke level and air temperature respectively in the vicinity of the detector; the detector’s micro controller processes both signals. The temperature signal processing extracts only rate of rise information for combination with the smoke signal. The detector will not respond to slow increases in temperature but a large sudden change can cause an alarm without presence of smoke, if sustained for 20 seconds. The processing algorithms in the multi-sensor incorporate drift compensation. Points to consider
