I have a need for an Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm
System
There are several Types of Fire Systems and the are designated by
Letters as follows:
M Fire Alarm systems
These comprise Manual Call
Points where recommended and raise the Alarm throughout the
building, usually found on escape routes staircases etc. There is no
Automatic Fire Detection built in and is operated by someone raising
the alarm.
L Fire Alarm Systems
These are concerned primarily with
preserving life, and enabling all occupants other than those
immediately affected by the fire, to make good their escape from the
building. There are several categories within the L system
identified as L1 through to L5(lesser). The sub categories denote
the type of Automatic sensors, sirens and beacons to be fitted and
where.
As these systems are designed
primarily to evacuate the building and prevent loss of life/injury
then the system may not automatically call for the brigade and
protection of property is dealt with by:
P Fire Alarm Systems
These denote an Automatic Fire
Detection System installed to take on the additional task on
not only preserving life but protecting the building and contents as
well when the building is quite and unoccupied. The system should
automatically dial out to the Brigade as a matter of course. Again
there are various sub categories from P1 to P5, where the type of
protection from the sensors used may be varied.
Fire Systems maybe configured by
mixing and matching categories to produce an alarm fit for purpose
in any particular premises. Also bear in mind that the construction
of the building should be such that fire resistant materials are to
be used which can slow down the spread of a major fire and its
gases, thus giving people the time they need to escape once the
alarm is raised. The object of the Automatic Fire Detection system
is to raise the alarm at the earliest possible moment to allow an
escape.
ITS Fire recommend the use of BT GSM Redcare to transmit your AFD
signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
