Conventional Fire Alarm System

A conventional system employs one or more initiating circuits, connected to sensors (initiating devices) wired in parallel. These sensors are devised to decrease the circuits resistance when the environmental influence on any sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold.


Conventional fire alarms include:

  • Small Schools
  • Stores
  • Restaurants
  • Apartments

    • ADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS


    Cost effective for small applications.

    DISADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS:


  • Cost, not competitively priced for larger systems.
  • Detection of smoke or a fire is done by zone, which could be multiple areas rather than specifying a specific location. This could delay emergency responders from locating the fire.
  • Conventional panels are often called “dumb” panels because of the inability to provide detail information, such as… Device locations.
  • No details on event history.
  • No internet connection for notification of alarm/trouble/supervisory events.
