What a Basic Fire Alarm System Needs

A fire alarm isn't one product -- it's a panel plus a set of devices wired into zones. Here's the genuine minimum for a working conventional system:

• Control panel — The brain of the system -- monitors all connected devices and triggers the alarm; sized by the number of zones needed.
• Smoke detectors — Placed in rooms and corridors where smoke would be the first sign of fire.
• Heat detectors — Used in areas like kitchens where smoke detectors would give frequent false alarms.
• Manual call points — Break-glass units that let anyone raise the alarm manually.
• Sounders — Audible alarm devices that need to be heard clearly throughout the covered area, not just near the panel.

Common questions

How many zones do I need?

It depends on the size and layout of the building -- more zones let you pinpoint where an alarm triggered from, which matters more in larger or multi-floor buildings.

Smoke detector or heat detector -- which do I need where?

Smoke detectors suit most rooms and corridors; heat detectors are better for kitchens or dusty/steamy areas where smoke detectors would trigger false alarms.

Does a fire alarm need to meet specific regulations?

Requirements vary by building type and use -- we recommend confirming applicable manufacturer and regulatory requirements for your specific site rather than assuming a generic setup is sufficient.

Can Qyvea design a system for my building?

Yes -- we assess the building layout and recommend the panel size, zone count and device placement rather than a generic package.
