Combined Smoke and Heat Detectors

Combine smoke and heat detector shall comprise of two chambers. One chamber containing the photoelectric smoke detector and the other shall contain the heat detector. The smoke detector shall utilize a horizontal optical bench construction which houses the detector and the optical sensor.

B. ADDRESSABLE OR “ INTELLIGENT ” FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (Cont.)

Addressable Fire Alarm Panel

Allows security staff to determine exactly from where the alarm is coming without searching the entire building. Being intelligent implies that each detector can “think” independently, determining when and where there is a fire. The panel provides the information about the sensor’s performance, event log, indication when the sensor needs servicing.
Unlike conventional alarm methods, these systems monitor and control the capabilities of each alarm initiating and signaling device through microprocessors and system software.
