Fire Alarm System
The purpose of the system
1.Fire detection and location

2.Fire fighting in its early stages

3.Notify the nearest fire station

4.Fire fighting system operation

Input Devices
A. Smoke Detector
Ionization Smoke Detector
• It does not exist in places where there is smoke in the normal condition

• For fast fires

• It contains an ionization chamber

Optical Smoke Detector
• For slow fires

• It is based on the idea that smoke can scatter light

• Its sensitivity is less than the sensitivity of ionization

Smoke Detector
B. Beam Detector
Beam Detector
• It is a sender and a receiver

• It is used in areas with a high ceiling of more than 5m

• It covers 7.5m left and right

C. Heat Detector
Heat Detector
• it is a device that senses the rise in temperature as a sign of the presence of
fire and is used in places where there is smoke In normal cases, such as
kitchens and bathrooms

• There are two types of temperature sensors

1- Fixed Temperature

2- Rate of Rise
1. Fixed Temperature
Fixed Temperature
• this type is based on the principle that most metals melt when exposed to heat

• Maximum temperature is defined. Upon achieving this temperature, the detector

switches to alarm mode
2. Rate of Rise
Rate of Rise
• It operates on a rapid rise in temperature from 7.6 to 3.8 degrees per minute, and this
type cannot be used with slow-developing fires.

• If the measured temperature increase per unit of time exceeds the threshold, an alarm
is triggered.
D. Combined Detector (Heat & Smoke)
Combined Detector (Heat & Smoke)
• Placed in places where there should be no increase in temperature or smoke
emission

• Such as electrical and transformer rooms

E. Flame Detector
 Flame Detector
• This type of detector detects a flame, Most of its uses in paper factories

• It is placed in places that, if a fire occurred, it would cause a lot of losses before fighting it

• The flame detector detects the fire faster than the smoke detector

• Expensive and covers a small area

F. Gas Detector
Gas Detector
• placed in places where gas can leak, such as kitchens and piping depots

• The most widely used gas detector is Carbon monoxide detector

G. Duct Detector
Duct Detector
• It is used in air pipes to detect fire inside air conditioning ducts
H. Call Point
 Call Point
• it is manually operated and the signal is sent to be received by the main control panel and then
audio and visual alarms are triggered

• it contains indication LED

• It is found in the corridors and next to the elevators

• The maximum distance between each calling point = 60 m

Output Devices
A.Bells

B.Horns

C.Flashers
Types of control systems
Control Panels
Conventional FACP
• For small places

• It sets the alarm to zones

• If a cable was cut, it would separate the whole region

• Maximum number of items in zone = 20 + EOLR

• Cheap
Conventional FACP
Conventional FACP
Addressable FACP
• It consists of loops

• The maximum number of items in the loop =100

• The location of the fire is determined by the location of the detector

• More expensive

• Need more expertise

Addressable FACP
Addressable FACP
Addressing
Addressing
• 7-bit binary or hexadecimal DIL switch

• Decimal Address Switch

Intelligent FACP
Wireless FACP

Fire Alarm System Devices
A. Monitor Module
Monitor Module
• The function of this device is that it works as an interface between an addressable
panel and any conventional element
• Monitor any signal from any external system
• This device detects the status of the following devices:

1-Tamper Switch

2-Water Flow Switch

Water Flow Switch Tamper Switch
B. Control Module
Control Module
• The CM is the Output module, meaning that it is used to deliver a signal From the FACP
to a device
• For example, it is used to control the stopping or running of some operations during a
fire based on the orders of the FACP, such as:
• The elevators are off.
• Close some electrical panels.
• Operating air intake fans.
• Turn off air fans because they help ignite
• It is also connected to the telephone set to call the firefighters
• Stopping or operating some pumps.
• Open all automatic doors
Control Module
C. Door Holder
Door Holder
• It is placed behind the doors of the escape
• it is used to keep the door open in the case of a fire in the building
D. Isolation Module
Isolation Module
• The isolation module (IM) can be placed after every 10 or 20 sensors, an example to
isolate the Fault. If there is a short time in one of the sensors of the second floor, all the
sensors of this floor will be isolated by controlling IM before this floor and the IM after
this floor
Cables
• Cables
• Fire Alarm Cables should be copper conductor fire (retardant or resistance )

• with cross section area • 2 X (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mm)

 Fire Retardant Cable (till 105 °C)

 Fire Resistance Cable (till 750°C , 850°C , 1050°C )

PVC Conduit
EMT Conduit
Notes
Notes
• The height of the sound alarm device should not be less than 2.2 meters from the
ground

• Visual warning devices are usually used in places with a high level of noise, places
occupied by deaf people, or hospitals as an additional or complementary warning
method.

• An alarm siren with flash is placed outside the building to alert the people outside to
the presence of a fire inside

• Emergency signs are placed approximately every 30 meters to identify the exit route
𝑹𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 = 𝟓 𝒎 If the height = 3.5m

𝑹′𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 = 𝑹𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 * 0.9 If the height = 3.5 – 4.5 m

Master Clock System
 The purpose of the system
1.Which makes us avoid major losses that occur due to
time differences such as Stock exchange

2. Also used at schools, universities, airports and hospitals

3.It can be connected with some systems that depend on

time (BMS, Access Control, CCTV, …….)
Components
A. Master Clock
Master Clock
• The master clock is an electronic device that is connected to a number of
slave clocks so that the time is synchronized in all hours

• It also receiving time either from the Internet or any other method
B. Slave Clock
Slave Clock
• These are the sub-hours that are distributed around the building and are always placed
in the corridors and waiting area
• And there are two types of them
1. Analog Clocks
2. Digital Clocks
