The fire alarm system of buildings is a system technical installations necessary for detecting and preventing fire situations and controlled from the central fire station.

Providing buildings and structures with automatic control is required for:

• Timely informing people at the site about the appearance of a fire;
• Immediately call the fire department;
• Use of effective fire extinguishing agents;
• Evacuation of people from premises.

Types of fire alarms

Modern fire alarm systems (FAS) are divided into the following types:

• Threshold with a modular structure;
• Targeted survey;
• Addressable analogue;
• Combined.

Threshold systems with radial stubs

Connection diagram for threshold fire alarm with radial trains

Threshold-type fire alarms equipped with radial loops (communication lines) are not in high demand if a serious approach is taken to controlling the occurrence of smoke or flames in a building.

The system responds only to a limited area of ​​objects (therefore it is used for small rooms), often gives a false alarm, has a lot of inconveniences when using, and installation is expensive.

Scheme of the operating principle of threshold warning devices with a modular structure

Such warning kits have all the disadvantages of threshold systems with radial loops, including expensive installation. A threshold type fire alarm with a modular structure differs from the previous type in that it can be freely controlled from a dispatch panel or computer. The modular structure allows for the installation of two blocks at once.

In an addressable-interrogation type fire alarm, the loops are arranged in a ring arrangement, in which the system itself checks the status of the detectors responsible for detecting a fire. Sensors are capable of producing four types of messages:

• Fine;
• Faulty;
• Lack of sensor;
• Fire.

The principle of operation of address-poll warning systems

Along with the advantages (the necessary information level, transparent control over the operation of detectors and quite reasonable price) the alarm system has a drawback - the inability to instantly recognize the occurrence of a fire.

The system is the most rational and effective of existing fire alarms. Main panel processes information received from sensors (of which there can be up to two hundred in each loop), and itself issues a final decision.

Operating principle of addressable analogue fire alarm systems

Addressable analogue fire alarm system has twisted pair insulated cables, which makes it possible to recognize smoke and fire in the early stages. Additional benefits: lungs installation work, affordable installation cost, control over the operation of detectors and obtaining information from sensors. If we consider that this fire alarm will reliably protect the facility in the event of the slightest fire danger, then the high cost should not be considered a disadvantage. By paying once, the buyer insures himself against huge losses in the future.

Combined systems

Fire alarm systems for the combined type are the most powerful and are used at large industrial facilities, in government and strategic buildings. An alert device can have several thousand sensors and devices, additionally equipped with extensive capabilities. Typically, a security control system is installed in such a set of blocks.

Dispatcher supervision is carried out from one control panel, which makes it possible to see clear information at any time. The combined type of fire alarm for buildings has simple and affordable installation, unlimited technical amenities, which justifies the high cost.

Before installation fire system notification, you need to decide on the type of alarm or consult with specialists. Installation of device blocks must be carried out by professionals who will perform the work efficiently in accordance with the requirements for fire warning devices within the framework Russian legislation and regulations.

Scheme of installing a fire alarm in an office building

The contractors shall notify the fire safety supervisory authorities in advance of the installation.

The main technical and legal requirements that must be met and verified after installation of the equipment:

• Stable operation in all weather conditions;
• The level of sensitivity of devices required to promptly alert people in the building;
• Obtaining the most comprehensive information in accordance with the technical capabilities of the warning device;
• Required speed of hazard recognition at the initial stage.

Installation of a fire alarm can only be carried out if there are certificates of conformity for devices, devices, main and auxiliary equipment and materials.

Fire alarm operating rules

Upon completion of installation and fulfillment of a number of requirements for acceptance and delivery work, the performing specialists must familiarize the customer’s representatives with the rules for operating the system.

To ensure that the alarm system works without failure, the employee responsible for fire safety building, must organize a daily inspection of loops, detectors, sensors, controllers for damage and contamination.

As the requirements for fire alarms indicate, designated personnel on duty must monitor the operation of the alarm around the clock and reflect the identified comments in the “Installation Failure Log”, in which entries are recorded in the form of a table:

No.	Date and time of failure of the element or its component	Characteristic external manifestations of malfunction	Cause of malfunction (failure), number of hours of operation of the failed element	Taking measures to eliminate malfunctions, spare parts consumption*	Signature of the person who fixed the problem	Note

*The abbreviation ZIP is approved by state standards and means spare parts, tools, accessories that are included in the device kit.

Procedure when a fire alarm is triggered

If the notification is not false, then, in accordance with the requirements of regulations and internal instructions of the enterprise, the duty officer is obliged to:

1. Immediately report the incident by phone 01 (mobile: 112);
2. Report the situation to management;
3. Turn off power to the building;
4. Organize the evacuation of people present in the building, if possible - documents of primary importance and material assets;
5. Take measures to extinguish the fire using primary means.

In case of false activation of the warning device:

1. The duty officer reports this fact responsible for ;
2. An application for equipment repair is sent to the service organization with which the contract is concluded and is accompanied by a telephone call;
3. During the period of equipment restoration, visual surveillance is organized in the premises to identify sources of fire.

Frequency and rules for checking fire alarms

The functionality of fire warning equipment is checked monthly by licensed service organizations in buildings with a large presence of people. If a small number of employees and visitors are constantly on site, then the inspection can be performed quarterly.

In addition to the specified periods, in for preventive purposes It is necessary to contact a service company twice a year to check that the alarm is working correctly. This will ensure reliable protection people, equipment and documentation from the dangerous consequences of a fire.

In accordance with the fire system inspection rules, the inspecting organization examines:

• Correct and regular documentation;
• Availability of a technical passport, instructions, compliance with certificates;
• Location of devices according to design documentation;
• Verification of device serial numbers with passport data;
• Integrity of seals, correct grounding connection;
• No damage to elements;
• The ability of elements to identify fires at the initial stage;
• Automatic notification of emergency services and personnel;
• Management of evacuation of people and power outages;
• Control of automatic fire extinguishing and smoke removal functions.

The presence of a fire alarm in buildings guarantees the safety of human lives, so it must be used competently, carefully and carefully.

7. Maintenance fire and security systems at the facilities is carried out by an organization with which a maintenance contract has been concluded. Maintenance of channel-forming equipment is carried out by BaltAvtoPoisk CJSC.

The result of fighting a fire always depends on how timely the source of fire was detected and the necessary actions to extinguish it were carried out. Every facility, in any field of activity, must be equipped with a fire warning system. Regardless of the manufacturer and functional features, the system includes the following components:

• Fire notification devices;
• Receiving station;
• Communication lines between the central station and fire notification devices;
• Power unit;
• Sound alarm equipment.

Classification of fire and security alarm systems

Security and fire alarms have several types and types. Functional Features and technical parameters are also a classifying feature. It is generally accepted to divide security and fire systems according to their purpose:

• Fire department. It identifies the source of fire, controls various equipment (alarm systems, automatic fire extinguishing devices, etc.);
• Security. It detects attempts of illegal access to the facility;
• Anxious. This device ensures the generation and transmission via communication channels of information about penetration into an object.

There are integrated security and fire alarm systems, and they are divided into two types:

• Autonomous: when a fire alarm is triggered, a localized notification is carried out, i.e. within one object;
• Control room: a message about a fire is transmitted to the central security console. Remote control systems can be wired or wireless (radio or GSM).

It is divided into types depending on the method of monitoring the device loops:

• Threshold;
• Address-threshold;
• Addressable analog.

Each type of alarm can have its own subtypes. This is due to the use various sensors to determine the presence of a fire source.

The video describes the operation of a fire alarm in an apartment building:

Functioning of the device and its operation

Instructions for use of protective fire alarms must be included with the equipment. Before use, you should familiarize yourself with it, as it shows the principles of operation and how to control the device.

Instructions for using the equipment may vary depending on the manufacturer, operating principles, configuration and functional features.

A conventional automatic fire alarm installation uses control and reception and security devices in its operation. These devices have a backup power source. In normal mode (duty mode), the duration of operation is at least 24 hours; during an alarm, at least three hours. When a fire alarm is triggered, the received information is transmitted to one of the notification devices. These devices are usually installed in a protected location or designated area on the fire line.

The system operates continuously, around the clock. When the alarm is in working condition, the green indicator lights up constantly. If there is a malfunction of the loop or a short circuit, the indicator will flash alternately red and green. Along with the indicator light, a characteristic sound signal will be emitted, indicating the presence of a malfunction. When the alarm is triggered, the indicator will glow green and an intermittent sound signal will sound at intervals of 2 seconds.

After receiving information about a possible danger, the system processes the data. If there is a source of fire, the indicator will glow red “Fire”. In this case, the audio frequency signal will be intermittent, the interval is 1 second. Signals are emitted by both internal and external devices notices. The total duration of the sound signal is 3 minutes. In the event of a malfunction: break or short circuit, lack of power, the “Block/Fault” indicator will flash red.

Setting up security and disabling an object is done by pressing the “ShS” key. If a false signal is received, you need to restart the loop that triggered.

Security and fire alarm devices have a blocking function against unauthorized access to the equipment. The functionality of the devices and the system as a whole is checked by pressing the “Test/Sound” button. It should only be done when all loops are in working condition. Within 10 seconds after pressing the button, all light and sound indicators are activated. After the test is completed, the device returns to its original state.

In the event of a malfunction of the fire protection equipment, you must contact the service company. In rooms equipped security and fire alarm, Smoking is prohibited as the sensors may react to smoke.

The video shows information about the fire alarm:

Security actions must be quick and coordinated. Each organization must have instructions on what to do when a fire alarm is triggered, which provides for a certain procedure for the security guards at the post.

Security actions when a fire alarm is triggered
