Fire Detection Systems are designed to detect and notify the unwanted presence of fire in a specific location by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. The system is composed of elements capable of detecting a fire, issuing a signal, and activating an alarm so that facility occupants have time to evacuate. In this way, if the detection system is appropriate, exposure to danger can be reduced.
The characteristics of any fire detection system are speed and reliability. Speed depends on the time required to activate the emergency response plan, which is directly associated with reliability. It is crucial that a system does not generate false alarms, as this reduces the credibility and confidence in the system, resulting in a slower response to emergencies.
At Pryxida TECH, when we study this type of system, our objective is to design the circuits required for a fire detection and alarm system that is optimal and aligned with the characteristics of the client’s process.
Upon completion, the client will receive the system documentation in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. This information includes the system philosophy, architecture, location drawings, coverage, and wiring plans. Additionally, equipment lists with their datasheets, cause-and-effect matrix, cable schedules, power supply and backup calculations are provided.
Documentation such as installation standards, operation manuals, verification forms, and other documents are provided according to the client’s requirements.
If a more in-depth analysis is desired, an FRA should then be conducted.
