Optical smoke detectors detect smoke particles in the air and are the most common fire alarms. These detectors work through a light sensor that detects smoke particles and immediately triggers an alarm. They are effective for quickly detecting smouldering fires or slowly developing fires. This smoke detector is installed in locations where it is required by the Building Code.
Thermal smoke detectors respond to a rapid rise in temperature, making them excellent for detecting fast, flaming fires. Instead of just detecting smoke, these detectors measure the temperature in the room and sound the alarm as soon as the temperature rises above a certain threshold. Thermal detectors are often used in rooms where smoke or dust can normally occur, such as kitchens or garages, to prevent false alarms.
A carbon monoxide detector is a device that detects carbon monoxide (CO) in the air and sounds an alarm when the gas level becomes dangerously high. It is recommended to install a carbon monoxide detector in places where there are appliances that run on fossil fuels, such as gas or oil stoves, boilers, wood stoves and fireplaces.
Our fire alarm systems can be configured to send a notification to the alarm centre when smoke is detected or temperature rises. This ensures that smoke or changes in temperature are detected early and emergency services can be on site faster.
Moreover, the system can also send notifications to contacts, such as a facilities officer within your company, so that quick action can be taken. So you always feel safe, even when no one is present in the premises.
This depends on the type of building and its use. For healthcare facilities, schools and large office and industrial buildings, a fire alarm system is required by law.
But even if the fire alarm system is not mandatory in your case, the insurance company may include it as a condition in the policy.
A fire alarm system includes smoke detectors, hand-held detectors and direct notification to an alarm centre.
