Fire alarm and warning systems
Fire warning and warning systems are the general name of systems that detect a possible fire situation at the first moment and notify people of this situation with various warnings. Of all the low current systems to be used in a building, perhaps the most important are fire alarm and warning systems.

Fire alarm systems mainly consist of the following components;
Detectors (optical smoke detector, heat detector, combined detector, gas detector, beam type detector, etc.)
Fire buttons that allow people to manually activate the notification system in the event of a fire.
Sirens and flashes that alert people audibly and visually in case of alarm
I/O (input/output) modules used to interact with and start or stop a different system during a fire
Control panels that control and manage this entire system.

Fire alarm systems must be manufactured to certain standards as they have a direct impact on human life in order for them to function properly and perform their duties. From the certificates, it can be understood that the fire alarm system is manufactured according to the required standards. These certificates are issued after testing by independent organizations and accredited laboratories.
Fire detection systems are manufactured in two different types in terms of working style and functionality. One of them is Addressable and the other is Conventional type fire alarm systems.

Addressable fire alarm systems; It is used to determine where the fire is coming from on a point-by-point basis, especially for medium and large enterprises or structures. In such large structures, it is vital to quickly determine which detector or detectors the fire is coming from and take appropriate action. The most basic feature of addressable fire alarm systems; Each of the components used in the system has a specific address and is in constant communication with the main control panel. In this way, information can be obtained about the current status of all detectors in the system. In terms of functionality, addressable fire alarm systems are more flexible than conventional products and allow system design with different scenarios.

Conventional fire alarm systems; Although they do not have as flexible design possibilities as addressable systems, they are preferred especially in small structures due to their reasonable cost and ease of installation and use. The system warns not on a detector basis, but on a zone (zone) basis.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a fire alarm system?
Reliability and speed - Key to saving lives and assets. The sooner a fire is detected, the less time it has to cause damage.
False alarms - Disrupt business operations, cost money due to unnecessary evacuations, sensitize people, cause them to ignore real fire alarms.
Flexibility and advanced technology – Changing application situations and conditions require technological advancement, expansion and modification.
Time consuming activities - Planning and maintaining a fire alarm system can be difficult and waste valuable time.
