About Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Conventional fire alarm systems work by connecting sensors to circuits, with each device linked to a control panel by wires. When a sensor detects a fire, it triggers the alarm, and the control panel identifies which zone is affected.
These systems offer several benefits. They are often more affordable than addressable alarms and are easier to install. Additionally, they can be organised into zones, so that if a fire occurs in one area, it doesn't affect the rest of the building. Conventional systems are especially useful for smaller spaces like offices, where a simple setup is all that's needed.
​
However, there are some limitations. Conventional alarms aren’t ideal for large spaces, as they only show a general indication of where the fire is. They also require more wiring, which can become a tripping hazard if not properly installed.
About Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Addressable fire alarm systems operate differently. They link multiple devices to the fire panel through a single wire, and binary code helps identify the exact location of a fire.
​
While conventional alarms work best in smaller settings, addressable systems are perfect for larger properties. They provide accurate fire location data, which aids emergency responders in quickly locating and tackling fires, enhancing occupant safety, and minimising property damage.
These systems offer key advantages, such as pinpointing fire locations with precision and being better suited for large premises. However, they tend to be more expensive, and installation may take longer due to the complexity of the system.
The Differences Between Conventional And Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
When selecting a fire alarm system, it's essential to understand the differences between conventional and addressable solutions. Here’s a quick comparison:
-
Wiring: Conventional systems require separate wires for each device, whereas addressable systems use a single wire to communicate with all devices.
-
Cost: Conventional fire alarms are generally more affordable than addressable ones.
-
Functionality: Conventional systems only indicate a general area of fire (through zones), while addressable alarms provide an exact location.
-
Reliability: Addressable systems are more reliable overall. Conventional alarms are more vulnerable to failures due to wire damage, while addressable systems feature two-way communication to ensure continued operation even if some wiring is damaged.
Raising The Right Alarm
If you need an affordable, quick-to-install fire alarm system for a small business or office, a conventional system may be your best option.
However, for larger premises or environments with vulnerable individuals where precise fire location is critical, an addressable system is likely the better choice.
