Alarm Types and Applications




   Zones / Alarm Points (IDCs)
 
     The number of zones or alarm points covered by the alarm or annunciator. Zones are groups of initiating devices wired on a common circuit. Each wiring circuit is used to relay information to the panel regarding the condition of the initiating devices, which can include smoke, heat, or fire detectors, manual pull stations or any circuit closure device.

Mounting and Features




   Mounting      Manufacturers use many of these terms interchangeably. Keeping this in mind, we have delineated the options as follows to help you locate the ideal item(s) for your needs.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Adhesive / Magnetic Base
 
     The device has a self-adhesive or magnetic base. It is designed to be glued / adhered to surface.
 
   Chassis  / Rack / DIN Rail
 
     Chassis mount devices can be attached to, or within, the supporting frame of a structure (chassis), exclusive of the body or housing. Some chassis varieties can be mounted within a rack.  Rack mount units can be mounted directly into a rack. They come equipped with the necessary rail guides, flanges, or tabs to be mounted in this fashion. The standard 19" rack is typical of this style.  DIN rail devices can be mounted on a standard DIN rail.
 
   Flange Mount
 
     The device is equipped with integral flanges so that it can be mounted with the use of external hardware (screws, bolts, rails, etc.).
 
   Stand Alone / Freestanding
 
     The device does not need to be mounted. It can stand on its own.
 
   Handheld / Portable
 
     The device is designed to be moved freely; it is not meant to be bolted or hardwired in place. This style can include items with wheels, briefcase, laptop style, or handheld products.
 
   Flush Mount
 
     The device can be placed into, or through, a depression within an existing panel so that it's face is flush, or nearly flush, with the panel, wall, or ceiling.  The method of attachment may include screws, bolts, rails, flanges, etc.
 
   Pole Mount
 
     The alarm is supplied with brackets for installation on a vertical pole.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary configuration.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Features       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Acknowledge / Silence
 
     The "acknowledge" feature allows the operator to mute the audible alarm while maintaining some visual alarm indication.
 
   Battery Back-up
 
     The unit has back-up batteries in case of power failure.
 
   Built-in Printer
 
     A built-in printer provides time-dated printouts of alarms, acknowledgements, and return to normal status.
 
   Data Logging / Event Logging
 
     The unit can store data for subsequent download to a host PC or monitor for viewing.
 
   Door Release
 
     The operator can release fire doors for emergency personnel.
 
   Elevator Recall
 
     The device has controls that allow the operator to recall elevators to a pre-specified floor.
 
   Explosion Proof
 
     Explosion-proof devices have totally enclosed housings that are constructed to withstand internal explosion of a specified gas, vapor or dust. Should such an explosion occur, the enclosure would prevent the ignition or explosion of the gas or vapor surrounding the motor enclosure. Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) governs several explosion-proof ratings.
 
   Pre-alarm Warning
 
     The unit contains a pre-alarm warning to notify operators of the status of pre-alarm conditions.
 
   Intrinsically Safe
 
     Intrinsically safe (IS) is an adjective for equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most ignited concentration. The IS terminations and wiring may be brought into any hazardous location of any group classification for which it is accepted without requiring explosion proof housing or other means of protection.
 
   Voice Evacuation
 
     A manual or automatic supervised paging system used to transmit a voice message (such as information, instruction, direction) on a selective and all-call basis.
 
   Modular System
 
     The unit is a combination of alarm modules and special function modules that allow it to be customized or repaired by the user in the field.
 
   Networkable
 
     A system where individual fire alarm control panels form a single network and are usually monitored with a video monitor.
 
   Outdoor Rated / Weatherproof
 
     The device is designed to function normally in an outdoor environment. It is, to varying degrees, sunlight, water, temperature, frost and ice, etc., resistant.
 
   PC Interface
 
     The unit is capable of PC interface via Windows® software.
 
   Programmable
 
     The device provides output coding or it is programmable or adjustable, to provide for different ranges, materials, levels, outputs, etc.
 
   Releasing Service
 
     The release of water, a chemical, or other suppression substance capable of extinguishing fire.
 
   Remote Phone Enabled
 
     The alarm or annunciator can be controlled remotely via telephone interface.
 
   Selectable Candela
 
     The unit allows users to choose between several pre-specified levels of candela, or light intensity.
 
   Submersible
 
     Submersible devices are designed to function optimally while underwater.
 
   Synchronization
 
     The alarm, annunciator, or control panel provides built-in synchronization of audible signals or strobes.  NFPA 72 requires visual appliances to flash in synchronization in rooms or areas where there are two or more visual devices that are not a minimum of 55 feet apart.  NFPA 72 requires that fire alarm signals be distinctive in sound from other signals and used for that purpose only.  This is known as the three-pulse temporal pattern.
 
   System Test
 
     The system is capable of self-testing.
 
   Telephone Handset
 
     The panel contains a telephone handset, or a firefighter's phone.
 
   Volume Control Option
 
     The alarm contains an adjustable volume control.
 
   Web Enabled
 
     Device contains hardware and software protocols such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http) or Web Access Protocol (WAP) for being addressable to, or a node of, the World Wide Web for remote monitoring or communication.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
