fdas fire alarm system control panels perform a wide range of life-saving and property-protecting tasks.

Some activate fire suppression or fire sprinkler systems, while others don’t. Some transmit a signal used
to alert first responders, while others simply sound alarms in or around the building. Every fdas fire
alarm system fire panel acts as a middleman between devices that watch for hazards and devices tasked
with alerting people to danger or problems with fire protection systems

Here’s how fdas fire alarm system works: when a fire starts, a smoke detector, heat detector, hand-
activated pull switch, or manual call point sends a signal to a fdas fire alarm system fire panel. Fire
sprinkler systems equipped with a flow switch or alarm pressure switch – devices designed to detect
sprinkler activation – can also transmit a signal to the fire panel (fdas fire alarm system) when water
begins to flow through an activated sprinkler system.

The fire alarm control panel responds to any of these signals by lighting up or making noise, activating
local bells or other signals, and/or sending a signal to fire officials or a private monitoring company
tasked with notifying the authorities.

Panels for fdas fire alarm systems in some facilities go even further, locking or unlocking doors, disabling
elevators, turning off the electricity, or shutting off or turning on ventilation.We are also preparing to
study in this area…

A fire detection and alarm system ( FDAS ) provides audible and visual signals as a result of the operation
of manual or automatic fire alarm initiating devices, such as a manual fire alarm station, smoke detector,
or heat detector, or from other protective equipment, such as a fire sprinkler system.

FDAS can also control and monitor the status of other life safety systems, such as elevators, smoke
controls, and automatic fire suppression systems, including fire sprinklers, fire pumps, and clean agents.
This centralized communication and control ensures that these building safety features are well
coordinated, making the facilities safer in emergencies.

Overview

Fire alarm plays an important role in providing life safety by detecting fires early and notifying occupants
and responders. FDAS also supervises and controls other fire protection systems and building safety
features that make facilities safer in the event of an emergency. This article delves into the components,
types, benefits, and best practices for maintaining an effective FDAS, aiming to provide a comprehensive
understanding for property managers, safety officers, and stakeholders.

What is an FDAS?

FDAS, or Fire Detection and Alarm System, provides life safety by providing audible and visual alerts to
occupants to initiate and aid evacuation when smoke, fire, or other hazardous conditions are detected.
Its detection systems include smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, and interfaced fire
suppression systems like fire sprinkler systems.

Key Components of Fire Alarm System

1. Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

The brain of the FDAS. It receives signals from initiating devices such as detectors, processes them, and
activates alarms. It also communicates with other safety systems and may interface with building
management systems.

2. Automatic Fire Detectors

Fire can be detected through a variety of environmental changes called “fire signatures,” such as heat,
smoke (aerosol particulates), and radiant energy (infrared IR or ultraviolet radiation UV). These are the
common types of fire detectors as part of FDAS:

Heat Detectors: Sense temperature changes or rate-of-rise in temperature, suitable for fire detection in
small confined spaces and environments with high dust or humidity, which do not require very early
warning of a fire. Heat detectors are very reliable and have the lowest false alarm rate of all automatic
fire detectors. A sprinkler can be considered a combined heat-activated fire detector and extinguishing
device when the sprinkler system is provided with water flow indicators connected to the fire alarm
control system.

Smoke Detectors: Detect smoke particles in the air using photoelectric or ionization technology. They
can often provide earlier alarm response than heat detectors but are more susceptible to nuisance
alarm sources. An FDAS installer often includes them when life safety is the primary purpose, or the
property is extremely valuable.

Air Sampling Smoke Detectors: These devices draw air from the protected space and analyze it for
smoke particles, effective for very early detection.
Beam Detectors: Also called projected beam-type smoke detectors. They consist of a transmitter and a
receiver, which trigger a fire alarm if smoke obscures its path. They are often considered by a fire alarm
installer to protect larger spaces with high ceilings, such as atriums, manufacturing areas, and arenas.

3. Manual pull stations

A fire alarm manual pull station is a device installed in buildings to allow occupants to manually trigger
the fire detection and alarm system. This device is typically mounted on walls at accessible locations
throughout a building, ensuring that individuals can quickly and easily initiate an alarm in case of a fire
emergency

4. Notification Appliances (Alarm Devices)

Fire alarm notification devices use audible and visual signals to alert occupants to evacuate or relocate
to a safe area and to notify emergency responders.

Audible Alarms: Sirens or bells that produce loud sounds to alert occupants.

Visual Alarms: Strobe lights or flashing indicators for areas where noise levels are high or for hearing-
impaired individuals.

Voice Evacuation Systems: Provide clear verbal instructions during emergencies.

How Does a Fire Alarm System Work?

Posted August 07, 2020 by Koorsen Fire & Security

Fire Alarm System Inspected by Koorsen

If you own, manage, or are building any type of commercial structure, you are likely all too aware of the
codes which require your building(s) to have a working fire alarm system.

Yet many do not understand how these systems work and often confuse them with individual fire
protection apparatuses, such as fire sprinklers or smoke detectors. But fire alarm systems are a far more
comprehensive and complex approach to fire protection than any individual device.

In this blog, you will learn what the role and primary components of a fire alarm system are and the
basics of how these components work together to protect your building and its occupants in the event
of a fire.

What is the Role of a Fire Alarm System?

In the simplest terms, the role of a fire alarm system is to detect fires and alert both building occupants
and emergency personnel from a centrally monitored and controlled location.

These systems also self-monitor, identifying where within the building(s) alarms originate from and
detecting when errors occur in wiring and connections that may hinder the system from working
correctly.
In essence, a fire alarm system has four key functions: detect, alert, monitor, and control. These
sophisticated systems use a network of devices, appliances, and control panels to carry out these four
functions.

What are the Parts of a Fire Alarm System?

As stated above, a fire alarm system is a collection of many separate parts, each with their own unique
function. Knowing what these parts are and how they work together is necessary to better understand
how the system works as a whole.

The following are the five key elements that make up every fire alarm system:

Initiating Devices: initiating devices are the part of the alarm system which detects smoke or a fire.
These devices include smoke detectors of various kinds, heat detectors of various kinds, sprinkler water
flow sensors, and fire alarm pull stations.

Indicating Appliances: indicating appliances are the part of the system that sounds the alarm and alerts
occupants to the fire hazard.

Indicating appliances include horns, chimes, bells, and in some situations, even strobe lights for the hard
of hearing and deaf. Most of these appliances are deliberately loud so as not to be missed and to
encourage everyone to leave the building quickly.

Where those who are deaf or hard of hearing are present, or code requires, strobe lights are also used in
conjunction with the other indicators so that there is a visual warning of the fire as well.

Fire Alarm Panel: the fire alarm control panel is the user interface and central monitoring and controlling
element of the system. It has a display revealing the current state (alarm or no alarm) of the fire alarm
system and a touch pad, which allows onsite personnel to program, troubleshoot, silence, and reset the
system.
The fire alarm panel monitors and has supervisory function over all of the system’s initiating devices,
indicating appliances, and all related telephone ties, field wiring, and its circuit cards and internal wiring.

It is also via the fire alarm panel that a call is sent out to a monitoring agency in the event of a triggered
alarm so that emergency personnel are alerted.

Power Supplies: Power supplies cover main power from the breaker, (2) 12V batteries as backup for 24
hours, and sometimes a generator as backup power for many fire alarm systems. The batteries may be
contained in either the control panel or in a separate enclosure. The batteries will take over should the
power fail, allowing the system to continue protecting the building from fire for 24 hours. A generator
can provide power for longer periods of power outages.

Auxiliary Devices: many additional devices can be added onto a fire alarm system to bolster fire
protection in a facility.

Additional devices include things like visual LED indicators showing which zone in a building a fire alarm
was initiated, remote annunciators, alarm silence switches, electromagnetic door holders, fire doors,
elevator capture and shutdown, etc.

As can be seen, these systems can be as simple or as elaborate as a facility needs, and for each element
listed above, there is a wide variety of options.

Creating or updating the ideal system for your facility can be a huge undertaking and should be done in
consultation with experts like Koorsen and professional electricians who both understand the host of
capabilities these systems and their parts offer as well as the local requirements of your AHJ.

The 3 States of Fire Alarm Systems

As mentioned above, the fire alarm panel monitors and indicates what state the system is in at all times.
For most systems, there are three states of operation: Normal, Alarm, and Trouble.

When all devices, appliances, wiring, and circuitry are operating correctly, and no alarms are activated,
the system is operating in a Normal State.
When an initiating device is activated, the system goes into an Alarm State. The indicating appliances
will sound, alerting building occupants to the danger, and the alphanumeric display on the control panel
will indicate from which zone of the building(s) the alarm is originating from so that emergency
personnel can quickly respond to the correct area.

Should a short or open wiring develop in the circuits connecting the fire alarm panel and initiating
devices, or within the panel’s wiring or zone cards, or if the system’s phone line connection is not
functioning, then the system goes into Trouble State and is displayed on the control panel. The panel
will indicate which zone the issue is in, and a buzzer will sound to alert maintenance personnel to the
problem. While the buzzer is loud enough to be heard, it is not nearly as loud as the indicating
appliances and will not be confused with an actual alarm.

How Do Fire Alarm Systems Detect a Fire?

The way a fire alarm system detects a fire is through its initiating devices, discussed above.

The fire alarm panel is connected to the system’s initiating devices through either 2- or 4-wire circuits.
This circuitry allows the control panel to monitor the state of its initiating devices, usually by zones,
identifying whether the devices are in normal or alarm mode. The control panel shows these readings
on its display panel.

When a fire starts, the smoke or heat will activate one of the initiating devices, or someone will activate
the manual pull station, alerting the fire alarm system to the fire and putting it in alarm mode.

What Happens Once the Fire Alarm System is Activated?

Once the system goes into alarm mode, two things should happen:

The indicating appliances should sound the alarm, notifying everyone in the building of the danger.

A call should go out via the system’s telephone lines to the monitoring company.
In some fire alarm systems, it may also activate fire suppression systems to help fight the fire until
emergency personnel arrives.

How Do You Disarm a Fire Alarm?

It is important that the building manager or maintenance crew understand how to read and use the fire
alarm panel, especially if it is in trouble state or is experiencing false alarms.

On the touch pad of the control panel, there are alarm and trouble silence options as well as a system
reset option. These should only be used once the source of the alarm or notification has been identified
and can be correctly addressed.

A fire alarm system consists of various electronic devices that work together to detect and notify people
of a fire or other emergency. Over the years, fire alarm systems have become increasingly sophisticated,
so we’ve put together a guide to help you understand all the components of a fire detection alarm
system and get the most out of this essential technology.

A Brief History of Fire Alarm Systems

Alarm systems have evolved considerably since Francis Robbins Upton, a Thomas Edison associate,
patented the first automatic alarm system in 1890. Twelve years later, in England, George Andrew Darby
developed the first heat and smoke detection systems, and in 1965, battery-powered smoke alarms first
appeared. Since the 1980s, building codes have required the installation and use of battery-powered
smoke alarms.

How Do Fire Alarm Systems Work?

A fire alarm system’s chief purpose is to detect fires and quickly notify both the occupants of the
building and emergency services from a centrally controlled and monitored location. These systems also
monitor themselves, identifying the location and origin of the alarms and sensing problems with
connections and wiring that might prevent the system from working properly.

Fire alarms monitor around the clock and detect fires through initiation devices, like smoke and heat
detectors. When the system detects these signs of a fire, it alerts occupants with a signal, which varies
based on the system. The controlling function of a fire alarm system will then activate other systems like
HVAC, Building Automation, clean agent systems and communicators to get in touch with local
monitoring operations.

Ultimately, a fire alarm monitoring system is an advanced network of components that have defined
jobs within the system. The moment fire risk is detected, these parts will act accordingly. Some parts of
fire alarm systems exist to ensure other parts are doing their jobs. This extra layer of protection is critical
for a system that alerts people to the need for emergency response.

Essentially, fire detection systems have four primary functions.

Notification

Monitoring

Controlling

These highly advanced systems use a network of appliances, devices and control panels to perform
these four functions. To help you better understand the workings of an alarm system, we’ll discuss each
component in detail below.

Components of an Alarm System

A fire alarm system consists of many components, including:

Fire alarm control panel

Initiation devices

Pull stations

Smoke detectors

Duct detectors

Heat detectors

Beam detectors

Air aspirating or air sampling smoke detectors

Water flow switches

Tamper switches

Notification devices

Audible devices

Strobes
Strobes/Horns

Dialers or communicators

NAC power supplies

Below we’re going to explain what each component does.

1. Fire Alarm Control Panel

The fire alarm control panel, commonly abbreviated as FACU, is the system’s “brain.” It receives
messages from the initiating devices, also known as inputs, and performs the following functions.

Turning on notifications: Upon receiving signals from the inputs, the FACU will turn on the necessary
notification devices, also known as outputs. It alerts people in the vicinity that an issue has occurred.

Elevator recall: The FACU also recalls elevators, which eliminates the possibility of an elevator delivering
people to a flame- or smoke-filled area.

HVAC system shutdown: If they detect smoke in an air duct, many fire alarm systems will shut the air
handling unit down, thus preventing smoke from spreading to other parts of the building.

Notifying alarm monitoring center: The FACU will also alert a remote alarm monitoring station, which, in
turn, will notify emergency services.

Minimizing False Alarms

A poorly designed or installed fire alarm system that doesn’t get routine maintenance, testing and
inspection will likely go off even when there’s no genuine danger. Frequent false alarms will cause
people to take them less seriously. When hearing a fire alarm, many people assume it’s no cause for
concern unless they also smell smoke or see flames.

To minimize the incidence of false alarms, the fire alarm industry has pushed for proper system design,
installation, testing, maintenance and inspection.

Types of Fire Alarm Panels

The types of fire alarm systems include addressable and non-addressable.

12. Audible Devices

Audible devices include sirens, bells, speakers and horns.

13. Strobes

Strobes send notifications by flashing a light.

14. Strobes/Horns

These devices send notifications by flashing a light and blaring a siren or live/recorded voice messages to
alert people to respond.

15. Dialers or Communicators

Some fire alarm systems have internal or external dialers used to contact monitoring centers or alarm
receiving stations. Communicators can use radio signals, phone lines or an internet connection to
maintain contact. Panels may have built-in dialers or communicators. Dialers or communicators can
remove a step from fire response plans, as facilities will not need to contact a fire crew while exiting the
building.

16. NAC Power Supplies

Today’s systems require many notification devices, which need extra power supplies known as
notification appliance circuit power supplies or NAC power supplies. You can find these by the main
panel or distributed around the building as needed.
Fire Alarm Preventive Maintenance Services

Importance of fire detection and alarm system maintenance

Mohammed Faheemuddin

Fire alarm systems are the most crucial system that every building should have, and these systems stand
vigilant to protect our lives and properties from destruction by fire. Fire alarm systems are used to
provide early warnings to the occupants in the building and to the authorities. They also signal many
other third-party systems in the structures, like the central battery system/emergency lighting system,
which helps in guiding the way to exit. Many systems will be activated in case of emergencies, and all
these systems need regular maintenance.

The foundation of fire safety

As we all know, a Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) is designed to safeguard lives and properties
during an emergency or a fire outbreak. FDAS offers early detection and provides us with warnings using
a sounder or flasher, or it will trigger the voice evacuation system when available to provide the proper
evacuation.

FDAS also help reduce property damage by detecting a fire in its early stages, sending signals to activate
various other systems available in the building, and sending the signals to the relevant authorities.

The importance of maintenance

Regularly maintaining fire alarm systems in all buildings is like giving them a health check to ensure they
are prepared to respond in emergencies or fires. We can think of it as our safety superhero quietly
standing by. This involves inspecting and servicing all the parts, from control panels to detectors, call
points, sounders, flashers and even the connections to third-party systems. By doing this, we minimise
the risk of alarms being caused by sensitivity or calibration issues. False alarms not only waste the time
of emergency responders but also result in fines that cost us money. Investing in a fire detection and
alarm system is crucial for protecting lives and property, and regular maintenance, like changing its oil,
extends its lifespan and safeguards your investment. Without maintenance, the system may fail
prematurely, leading to replacements. Therefore, we should treat our fire detection and alarm system
as a superhero by giving it the attention it deserves to protect our property for years.

Critical aspects of FDAS maintenance

Inspection and testing are parts of fire alarm system maintenance. Certified professionals conduct
scheduled inspections to ensure all system components function correctly.
These inspections involve checking if the detectors, control panels, wiring and notification devices are
working correctly as they should.

Each of these detectors, such as gas detectors, heat detectors, smoke detectors or combined detectors,
needs regular checks to ascertain their capacity to detect a fire (smoke/heat/gases). This is referred to
as the calibration of the sensor such that it has suitable sensitivity to the immediate operating
environment.

Some fire alarm systems have backup batteries to power them when there is a loss of electricity supply.
As these batteries become old, periodic evaluation and substitution are crucial. This system may fail if
one fails to replace these components as scheduled.

Using software in fire alarm systems creates a need for upgraded patches addressing security
weaknesses and increasing system improvements. The system’s software must be updated regularly to
keep it reliable and secure.

Comprehensive documentation of the maintenance process is critical. The detailed inspections, testing,
calibration, repairs and component replacement records form part of the system’s history and are vital
for troubleshooting, reporting and compliance.

When fire alarm systems are not properly maintained, their general condition may become inadequate
to ensure safety. The system can fail to provide timely warnings because components become non-
operative or insensitive. This leads to slow response times for fires that pose more danger to residents.

False alarms will likely occur in a poorly managed system, wasting resources and undermining citizens’
confidence. The prevalence of false alarms often makes the occupants in a building get tired and ignore
warnings that ought to be treated seriously.
Many jurisdictions have their own regulatory provisions and rules for regular fire alarm system
maintenance. Failure to observe such maintenance is unlawful and attracts heavy fines or jail time.
Further, an unnoticed system might fail to give prompt notification to insurance companies, as well as
cause harm to property owners.

In addition to legal implications, financial losses may be incurred because of an outdated and/or sub-
standard fire alarm system. It also encompasses the expenses associated with repairs or replacing
damaged property lawsuits of parties injured by the failure of the detection system to generate an early
fire alarm.

Best practices in fire alarm maintenance

Scheduled inspections should be carried out by competent people aware of local rules and national
standards. The employees should be able to detect any malfunction before it adversely impacts the
organisation’s operations.

A complete preventive maintenance programme should be adopted involving planned examinations and
items replaced per the manufacturer’s recommendations and accepted standards in the sector.

Accurate records should be kept of all maintenance activities, such as inspection reports, calibrations,
battery replacements and software updates. The compliance document serves as a record of this
system’s maintenance and demonstrates that the system is compliant with requirements.

Staff and building inhabitants should be educated on what to do during a fire alarm or emergency. Such
exercises help occupants take appropriate and immediate measures, improving general safety.

There should be reasonable and publicly communicated emergency procedures that outline ways of
evacuating. These procedures should be reviewed regularly to advise and alert the occupants of
emergencies.
The heroes of fire safety are fire detection and alarm systems that save lives and properties from the
consequences of fire. These, however, are by no means perfect and need constant updating to prevent
glitches or malfunctions. Failure to ensure that a fire alarm system is continuously operating leads to an
unsafe environment, untrue alarm activations, litigation and liability issues.

The importance of fire alarm system maintenance in today’s world, where safety comes first, cannot be
underestimated. Through proper service management and adherence to the best practices, it will be
possible to guarantee that those systems remain unshaken pillars, always prepared to rescue life and
property from any eventuality.
