Fire detectors play a crucial role by detecting the initial signs of combustion, such as smoke and heat. They quickly send an alert to the fire alarm control panel (FACP), ensuring a prompt reaction.
Once the FACP receives this signal, it processes the information to decide on the appropriate course of action.
Loud alarms and flashing lights are activated to warn all occupants, allowing for a fast and safe evacuation. Furthermore, the system can automatically alert the fire department, ensuring a swift operational response.
