The control panel is the “brain” of the fire detection and alarm system. It is responsible for monitoring the various “input” devices such as manual call point (MCP) and automatic detection components like heat detectors, smoke detectors, and then activating alarm “output” devices such as horns, bells, warning lights, emergency telephone dialers, and building controls. Control panels may range from simple units with a single input and output zone, to complex computer-driven systems that monitor several buildings over an entire plant.

Conventional Fire Alarm System

The conventional fire alarm system can be divided into multiple zones, this product is available from 2-zone to 32-zone, which uses conventional input devices. The panel accepts two-wire smoke detectors, pull stations and other normally open contact devices. Outputs include four Notification Appliance Circuits.

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems

The addressable fire alarm system includes smoke detector, heat detector, MCP, hooter and other devices are given an individual address name which is identified by the fire alarm panel. This helps in recognizing the exact location of fire even in a multi-stored building. Hence reducing the time required to locate the fire.
