• Detect fire in the areas.
3. WHERE IS IT USED ?
• Institutional Buildings
• Residential Apartments
• Industries
• Offices
• Hotel
• Hospitals
• Mall
• Multi Storied Complexes

1. INTRODUCTION :
2. WHY IS IT REQUIRED?
• Notify building occupants to take evasive action to
escape.
• Summon organized assistance to assist in fire control
activities.
• Initiate automatic fire control systems to sound alarm.
• Supervise fire control systems to assure operational
status is maintained.

4. FIRE DETECTION AND ALARM SYSTEM PRINCIPLE :
Fire detection and alarm system
principle is based on three devices :
4.1. INPUT DEVICES
4.2. CONTROL PANEL
4.3. OUTPUT DEVICES
• Fire-related information is collected
from all parts of the building by the
Input devices & transmitted to the
Control panel.

3. CONTACTS
4.1. INPUT DEVICES :
• It has three devices :

4.1.1. AUTOMATIC FIRE DETECTORS :
4.1.2. MANUAL CALL POINTS(FIRE BOX) :

4.3. OUTPUT DEVICES :
 GLASS BREAK
glass rod or plate is broken.
It is of four types :
1. HEAT DETECTORS
2. SMOKE DETECTORS
3. FLAME DETECTORS
4. FIRE-GAS DETECTORS
It is of two types :
 Installed in the normal entry/exit path.
1. SINGLE ACTION
pull handle once.
2. DOUBLE ACTION
lifting of a cover or opening a door.

1.2. CAUSES
Critical areas includes :
1. GUEST ROOMS
2. KITCHENS
3. LAUNDRIES
4. RESTAURANTS
5. STAIRWAYS
6. PARKING GARAGES
7. PLANT ROOMS
1.3. CRITICAL AREAS IN HOTEL
FALSE ALARM
 INTRODUCTION :
 Deceptive phenomena :
• Steam,
• Increase in temp. due to electrical equipments.
• Areas with numerous
heat sources.
• Large fire loads.
• Significant deception
phenomena.
• High occupancy loads.
• Overheating in Electrical
equipment leading to short
circuits, overloads, discharges, etc.
 CAUSES :
 Interference from the HVAC system.
1.1. COMPLEXITY
1. FACTORS OF HOTEL FIRES :
Hotel fires are more complex than
many other occupancies because of :
• Guest’s unfamiliarity with the
building.
• Many guests may have language
problems.
• Open flame from candles,
cigarettes, lighters.
• Carelesness with electrical
equipment.
 Special attention should
be given to critical areas.
 Its characteristics are :
• A False alarm, is the deceptive report of an emergency,
causing unnecessary panic to a place where they
are not needed.
