How Many Types of Fire
Alarms Are There?
There are two main types of fire alarm systems: Conventional and Addressable. They both work in more or less the same way but are wired slightly differently.
- Conventional systems have zones, which are essentially just circuits, and there is a different wire for each device that individually connects to the fire alarm control panel. Conventional fire alarms are the original fire alarms that first came to market.
- Addressable fire alarms system are newer and more advanced, as there is just one wire that connects all the devices to one control panel. The main benefit is addressable fire alarms can give more precise location information if the alarm is triggered by smoke or fire. They allow for more control and flexibility and are generally safer due to their accuracy so fire responders can extinguish the fire as soon as possible.
How Do Commercial
Fire Alarms Work?
When the detector senses smoke, flames, heat, or gases like carbon dioxide, or someone pushes a manual fire alarm, the alarm will sound to warn others of the fire and to evacuate. Commercial fire alarms should also connect to a sprinkler system and other commercial fire suppression systems. Constant fire alarm maintenance monitoring of the detectors and alarm systems is crucial for the best fire safety measures. When the alarm is triggered, the monitoring center is immediately notified and can then verify if there is a genuine fire and risk, or if it is a false one. We provide fire alarm maintenance, emergency maintenance, and fire alarm repairs with our fire safety systems. Commercial properties should already have CCTV for security efforts, which can help in identifying the fire alarm and be used by monitoring centers for verification to avoid false alarms.
Our wide range of fire alarm systems will help to protect your property and give you peace of mind,
whatever your circumstances. If your alarm is triggered, our UK-based receiving centre is alerted within seconds and will spring to action to help protect you.
Why Do You Need a Fire Alarm in a Commercial Property?
Fire alarm systems are essential in a commercial property to ensure the safety of your property and anyone inside, and particularly when the property is unattended. If a fire breaks out when the property is empty, no one will find out until the damage has already been done. Fire alarm monitoring guarantees that no alarm goes unheard or unattended and that instant action is taken, as your property is monitored 24/7. It is important to monitor your property during a fire so that fire responders can take immediate action

- Is the alarm multifunctional? Multifunctional alarms can detect smoke particles, flames, and carbon monoxide.
- Is it a smart alarm? Smart smoke alarms can send alerts to mobile devices if an alarm sounds, especially useful when you are not on the property. They can communicate with other smart alarms on the property, so you know exactly where the fire is when an alarm is triggered.
- Backup power? It is important to make sure your smoke alarm has backup power so if your property’s power goes out, you still know if there is a fire or smoke emergency.
