READ AND ANALYZE!
A fire alarm system has several devices working together to detect and alert people through visual and audio appliances when fire, smoke, heat, or other emergencies are present. These alarms may be activated automatically from smoke detectors, and heat sensors or may also be activated via manual fire alarm activation devices such as manual call points or pull stations. Alarms can be either motorized bells or wall-mountable sirens or horns. They can also be voice alarm systems that sound an alarm, followed by a voice evacuation message that warns people inside the building not to use the elevators.
A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Commercial security devices issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire alarm system, while household smoke detectors, also known as single station, generally issue a local audible or visual signal from the detector itself.
The control panel is the brain of the fire alarm system. The control panel constantly monitors the sensors installed throughout the protected facility for signs of fire.
