Addressable Fire Alarm System
An addressable fire alarm system works by having every detection and notification device connected to each other and to the addressable fire alarm control panel. An addressable system sends digital signals in binary code, as opposed to a conventional fire alarm system which operates through electrical currents. Addressable systems operate like a computer and convert variations in voltage to binary code, various combinations of zeros and ones.
This allows for an addressable fire alarm system to transfer critical information to the control panel with a broader range of information. An addressable system can pinpoint the exact location of smoke or fire, providing an increased level of safety and reliability.
Benefits of Addressable Fire AlarmsÂ
Quick recognition of detection location provides many benefits such as helping first responders know exactly where to go and providing quick evacuation in the most jeopardized and adjacent areas. This quicker response to saving lives has to be the greatest benefit of addressable fire alarm systems. Additional benefits of addressable fire alarm systems over conventional systems include improved reliability and reduced false alarms.
Addressable systems also help to diagnose any component malfunction with self-monitoring capabilities for quicker repairs and consistent protection. While a conventional system may cost less up front, an addressable system could be less costly to install with less expenses for wiring, and can provide for easier, less expensive upgrades and maintenance in the future. With the flexibility and scalability of addressable systems, you can easily add new zones without disrupting operation.
