Summary

Fire Alarm System Limitations

Automatic Fire Alarm System Limitations

Limitations of automatic fire alarm systems regarding property damage or loss of life.

Heat Detector Limitations

Heat detectors alarm based on heat increase, not smoke particles. They protect property.

IMPORTANT Smoke Detector Placement

Smoke detectors must be in rooms with control panel/wiring to detect fires impacting systems.

Audible Warning Device Limitations

Warning devices may not alert all people or function in certain environments.

System Power Dependency

Fire alarm systems require electrical power; standby batteries have limited operation.

Equipment Compatibility

System components must be technically compatible with the control panel.

Telephone Line Dependency

Reliance on telephone lines for alarm transmission can lead to failure.

Inadequate Maintenance

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is poor maintenance.

Installation Precautions

Power Disconnection Warning

Disconnect all power sources before servicing control units and associated equipment.

System Re-acceptance Testing

Re-testing is required after any system component change, addition, or modification.

Environmental Operating Conditions

System operates at 0-49°C/32-120°F but extreme temps affect battery life.

Wire Size and Voltage Drop

Ensure wire sizes are adequate for loops; most devices tolerate only 10% I.R. drop.

Lightning Transient Protection

Solid-state devices are susceptible to lightning; proper grounding reduces susceptibility.

Static-Sensitive Component Handling

Ground yourself with a wrist strap before handling circuits to prevent static discharge.
