Many fire alarms connected to a central connection to the fire brigade are having a delayed timer programme into the Redcare unit. This gives the building occupier time to investigate the activation within a set period of time. If it is a false alarm the fire alarm is reset within the delayed time and the brigade are not summons.
This delay is only used on addressable fire alarm or wireless addressable fire alarm systems, as you will have to incorporate a coincidence and manual call point override on the fire detection, and this can not be incorporated on a manual convention fire alarm system.
Using a BAFE accredited fire alarm company such as Fire Systems Ltd is a good way of ensuring that your system is installed correctly and in accordance with current standards.
