installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance possible it is not a substitute for fire insurance automatic fire alarm system typically made up of smoke de heat detectors manual stations

Manufacturer recommends smoke and or heat detectors located throughout a protected following the recommen of the current edition of National Fire Protection Asso Standard 72 NFPA 72 recommenda State and local codes and recommendations contained the Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors which made available at no charge to installing dealers A study by Federal Emergency Manage Agency an agency of the States government indi that smoke detectors may go off in as many as 35 of fires While fire alarm systems designed to provide early against fire they do not warning or protection fire A fire alarm system not provide timely or adequate or simply may not func for a variety of reasons detectors may not sense where smoke cannot reach detectors such as in chim in or behind walls on roofs on the other side of closed Smoke detectors also not sense a fire on another or floor of a building A sec floor detector for example not sense a first floor or fire of combustion or from a developing fire not reach the sensing cham of smoke detectors because Barriers such as closed or par closed doors walls or may inhibit particle smoke flow Smoke particles may become stratify and not reach ceiling or upper walls detectors are located Smoke particles may be blown from detectors by air out Smoke detectors may be into air returns before the detector amount of smoke present be insufficient to alarm detectors Smoke detec are designed to alarm at vari levels of smoke density If density levels are not cre by a developing fire at the of detectors the detec will not go into alarm detectors even when properly have sensing Detectors that have sensing cham tend to detect smoldering better than flaming fires have little visible smoke that have ionizing type chambers tend to detect flaming fires betters than fires Because fires in different ways and are unpredictable in their neither type of detector is best and a given type detector may not provide ad warning of a fire detectors cannot be ex to provide adequate warn of fires caused by arson chil playing with matches espe in bedrooms smoking in and violent explosions by escaping gas im storage of flammable ma etc detectors do not sense par of combustion and alarm when heat on their sensors at a predetermined rate reaches a predetermined level heat detectors may subject to reduced sensitivity time For this reason the feature of each detec should be tested at least once year by a qualified fire protec specialist Heat detectors designed to protect property life Smoke detectors be installed in the same as the control panel and in used by the system for the of alarm transmission communications signaling power If detectors are so located a developing fire damage the alarm system its ability to report a fire warning devices
