Consultant’s Guide For Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
●Fire detection and alarm systems are designed to provide warning to the outbreak of fire, so allowing evacuation and appropriate fire fighting action to be taken before the situation gets out of control. Systems may be designed primarily to protect property or life, or to protect against interruption to a client’s business from fire; some systems may be designed to achieve any combination of these objectives. It is essential that the designer understands the objective(s) of the system. This places a great responsibility on the designer because each building will present a different set of problems in relation to satisfying the objective. Each fire detection and alarm system therefore must be specifically designed to meet the requirements of the client for each building.
●Once the objective(s) has been defined, in designing a system, particular consideration must be given to the type of building, its construction and the purpose for which it is being used, so that in the event of a fire, the fire detection system, combined with appropriate fire prevention procedures, will keep fire risk to a minimum.
●The information provided herein is intended to help and enable appropriately qualified designers to plan and design fire detection and alarm systems suitable for use in any type of building or installation.
●As mentioned above, the designer of a fire detection and alarm system bears a great responsibility because the safety of personnel, property and the continuing operation of the business rests with him. Occasionally, particular problems may occur which are not covered in this manual. In such cases it is most important that you seek specialist advice at an early stage.
●When designing a fire detection and alarm system, in addition to deciding the type of system, detectors, call points and sounders to be used etc., there are also other aspects which need to be considered. These include measures to limit false and unwanted alarms, method of installation, materials required during installation, user training, routine maintenance procedures, and service agreement. For any system to function reliably and provide problem free service throughout the life of the system, all of these aspects must be considered in the overall system design and plan.
