Fire Alarm detector, using Air Sampling

 

Fire alarm detection using air Sampling is one of the most sensitive forms of fire detection currently available. By detecting smoke at an very early stage and taking appropriate remedial action the damage caused by fire and smoke can often be avoided.

Fire alarm maintenance, design and commission of these sensitive fire alarm detection systems is a specialist task and should only be untaken by a professional fire alarm company, such as Fire Systems Ltd.

Fire Systems Ltd, have been installing and maintaining Air Sampling Systems since 1992. Our staff have a great deal of experience in this field. We work with and install fire alarm systems from all the major manufacturers, by being independent and not tied to any one manufacturer, our advice is completely impartial

Air-sampling Smoke Detectors work by:

  1. Continually drawing air into a pipe network attached to a detector unit.
  2. Passing the air through a dual stage filter to remove dirt
  3. Sending the clean air to a laser detection chamber for smoke detection.
  4. Measuring the light scatter caused by any smoke
  5. Processing the detector signal and presenting the smoke level graphically
  6. Communicating the information to a fire alarm control panel, a software management system or a building management system.

Installing a fire alarm using Air-sampling smoke detectors provide the early warning of an imminent fire hazard. Why is this important? It buys time. Time to investigate a smoke alarm. Time to take action. Time to avoid the danger, damage and disruption caused by fire.

Another, advantage of using air sampling is with regards to the fire alarm maintenance, as the maintenance engineer does not have to test individual detector.

A fire alarm company such as fire systems ltd, is independent and have been installing fire alarm systems since 1992.
