times. One way to ensure a high level of safety is by adding a commercial fire alarm system to your property. Commercial fire alarms can be customized to meet the needs of your business and help to avoid dangerous fires on your property. No matter your needs, there’s sure to be a fire alarm system that will provide you with protection and peace of mind.
Manual Systems
One of the more basic commercial fire alarm options is a manual system. A manual system requires an individual to physically activate the fire alarm from a pull station with a firm downward pull. These are ideal for businesses with someone on site overnight, as they will not automatically go off. These systems will flash and sound an alarm once activated and will stay on until they are manually turned off. Manual systems are a great option because you will not give false alarms due to a faulty system.
Automatic Systems
Automatic systems will be sounded automatically when smoke or heat is detected on the premises. The system will light up and sound an alarm to notify employees that there may be a fire in the building. If you don’t have someone on duty at all hours, an automatic system is for you, as it can be used in concert with a commercial fire alarm monitoring service to notify first responders and save from extensive property damage.
Conventional Systems
A conventional system comes in both manual and automatic options but stands out from other commercial fire alarms as it divides a commercial site into different zones. Each zone will have its own fire alarm that is connected to a main control system. A conventional system is ideal for a larger commercial site with several different rooms and floors.
Addressable Systems
An addressable fire alarm system is similar to a conventional system as it can have a fire alarm placed in any room and connected back to the main system. The difference with this system is that you or the first response team will see which alarm has been set off and can put out a fire more efficiently.
A commercial fire alarm system is one of the more cost-effective ways of keeping your commercial property safe. It will not only notify employees of a fire, but it will notify first responders quickly to save from extensive property damage.
