Introduction to Fire Detection Systems
Eaton offers a diverse range of fire detection systems, providing high-quality fire safety solutions tailored to specific needs. This catalog explores both conventional and addressable fire alarm systems, detailing their components and functionalities.
System Components
Fire alarm systems typically consist of:
- Control Panels: The central hub that processes signals from input devices and activates output devices.
- Input Devices: Detectors (smoke, heat) and manual call points that sense fire conditions.
- Output Devices: Sounders, strobes, and other notification appliances that alert occupants.
Conventional vs. Addressable Systems
Conventional Systems: Divide a building into zones. When a device is activated, the panel identifies the zone, requiring manual searching to pinpoint the exact device. Ideal for smaller buildings.
Addressable Systems: Each device has a unique electronic address, allowing the panel to communicate directly with it. This enables precise identification of activated devices and detailed status monitoring. These systems are highly effective for larger buildings with complex layouts.
