Limitations of automatic fire alarm systems regarding property damage or loss of life.
Heat detectors alarm based on heat increase, not smoke particles. They protect property.
Smoke detectors must be in rooms with control panel/wiring to detect fires impacting systems.
Warning devices may not alert all people or function in certain environments.
Fire alarm systems require electrical power; standby batteries have limited operation.
System components must be technically compatible with the control panel.
Reliance on telephone lines for alarm transmission can lead to failure.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is poor maintenance.
Disconnect all power sources before servicing control units and associated equipment.
Re-testing is required after any system component change, addition, or modification.
System operates at 0-49°C/32-120°F but extreme temps affect battery life.
Ensure wire sizes are adequate for loops; most devices tolerate only 10% I.R. drop.
Solid-state devices are susceptible to lightning; proper grounding reduces susceptibility.
