What is the difference between an “addressable” system and a “conventional” one?
Conventional Systems A conventional system is a cost effective approach for a fire alarms system. These are usually found in small to medium sized commercial premises such as shops or offices. They provide the means to detect and warn of fire. Detectors are installed on zones, when a detector is activated the control panel will indicate which zone the triggered detector is located in. Addressable Systems An addressable system provides a more technologically advanced fire alarm system usually at a higher price. This type of system acts more like a computer; it can diagnose exactly which detector has been activated so that the fault/fire can be located a lot more efficiently. These systems tend to be used in buildings such as hospitals, schools and large offices or factories. Are the panel on the site addressable? No, the panels we currently stock are conventional panels. We can supply addressable panels to meet individual needs, please contact us for a quote with your requirements.
