Types of Fire Alarms:
Different properties require different fire alarm systems depending on the building layout, occupancy, fire risk assessment and client requirements.
Corevia Group supports clients with a range of fire alarm solutions, including conventional systems, addressable systems, wireless fire alarms, Aico alarm systems, smart connectivity and fire alarm gateway options.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Conventional fire alarm systems are commonly used in smaller buildings and operate by dividing the premises into zones. When an alarm activates, the system identifies the affected zone rather than the exact device location.
These systems can be suitable for smaller commercial properties, communal areas and lower complexity buildings where a straightforward fire detection system is required.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Addressable fire alarm systems are commonly used in larger or more complex buildings. Each device has its own address, allowing the fire alarm panel to identify the specific detector, call point or device that has activated.
This can help improve response times, reduce investigation time and provide clearer information for building managers, responsible persons and maintenance teams.
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
Wireless fire alarm systems use radio communication between devices and can be useful where cabling is difficult, disruptive or not practical.
These systems can be suitable for occupied buildings, temporary arrangements, heritage properties, refurbishment projects and sites where a faster installation is required. Wireless systems still require correct design, commissioning, maintenance and battery management.
Aico Alarm Systems and Smart Connectivity
Corevia Group can also support clients with Aico smoke, heat and CO alarm systems, including wireless interlinking, SmartLINK modules, controllers and HomeLINK gateway solutions where suitable.
Smart gateway technology can help provide better visibility of alarm events, faults and property safety data. This can be particularly useful for landlords, housing providers and managing agents managing multiple properties.
