Fire Alarm System: Conventional Type

A conventional fire alarm system is one of the most widely used fire detection systems, especially in small to medium-sized buildings. It operates by dividing a building into multiple zones, with each zone having a group of detectors and call points connected to a central control panel.

How It Works

In a conventional system, detectors such as smoke, heat, or flame sensors are wired together in zones. When a detector is activated, the control panel identifies the specific zone but does not pinpoint the exact device that triggered the alarm. This makes conventional systems ideal for smaller buildings where a general location is sufficient for emergency response.

Key Components

Control Panel

The main hub that processes signals from detectors and triggers alarms.

Detectors & Call Points

Smoke, heat, or flame detectors, along with manual call points for activating the alarm manually.

Sounders & Flashers

Alert devices such as sirens and strobe lights to warn occupants of danger.

Wiring

Separate circuits connecting detectors and alarms in different zones.

Advantages of Conventional Fire Alarm Systems

Cost-Effective

Less expensive compared to addressable systems, making them a budget-friendly option.

Easy Installation

Simpler wiring and setup, suitable for small-scale applications.

Reliable Performance

Well-proven technology for fire detection in various environments.
