Conventional Fire Alarm Systems

'Conventional' Fire Alarm Systems, in their various forms, have been around for many years and have changed little in that time in terms of technology although design and reliability have improved significantly. However, Conventional Systems are a well-proven technology protecting many hundreds of thousands of properties worldwide.

A few years ago fire detection and alarm systems were only required in large premises. Health and safety and Fire Safety Legislation enforced by Environmental Health, Building Control and Fire and Rescue departments of the local authority are forcing quite small premises to install fire alarm systems. If you have a place of business such as a shop, workshop, residential multi-tenanted building or multi tenanted commercial property it is only a matter of time before somebody demands that you install or upgrade your fire alarm system.

In a non-addressable system the input devices work a bit like a switch. When they are activated they "Turn On" the panel, which in turn will "Turn On" the bells or sounders. The input devices in a particular area are connected to one circuit, called a zone, so that an indicator on the control panel will light to show which zone has been activated. The sounders are usually wired on separate sounder circuits. non-addressable Systems are particularly effective in smaller premises such as offices and shops. A newer type has the sounders on the zone circuits.

These are referred to as "Two Wire" systems. Two wire systems are particularly useful where there are a lot of devices close together such as a house or small hotel. Star Security (U.K.) Limited can offer Low cost one or multi zone fire detection and alarm systems.
