Fire Alarm Protection System
A fire alarm protection system is involved in various components: Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), primary power supply, secondary or backup power supply, initiating devices, notification appliances, and a remote off-site reporting system.
The major part of the system, the FACP consists of electronics and a power supply that energizes detection devices and monitors the system. It gets signals back from initiating devices such as pull stations, smoke detectors, water flow sensors, heat detectors, and tamper switches. This organizes the system for actual alarms or “trouble” situations, such as tamper switch activation, and notifies the appropriate people. This system helps in activating relays that control elevators, lighting, air movement, door closing, voice announcement systems, and more. There can also be remote annunciators located throughout the premise or property that allow remote control or display of information in different locations.
3 Steps You Required to Replace Your Fire Protection System
The fire protection system is one of the most important safety features. You should utilize your fire protection system efficiently to detect and extinguish a fire before it has the chance to spread. That is the reason it is so necessary to have a system that is up-to-date and reliable.
In this blog, JP Engineering will highlight the top three signs that you should replace your fire protection equipment. If you still aren’t sure if you need new fire protection equipment after reading this blog, then give us a call and we can inspect your system.
When to Replace Your Fire Protection System
The System is Old
Every year, your fire protection system gets a little older and a little more outdated. This means it doesn’t have all the latest features and advanced technology that modern systems have. The main reason you should upgrade your system is that corrosion and pinpoint leaks can appear over time causing damage with leaking and clogged pipes. Older systems can cause more damage because the fire can spread faster and leave you with more repair bills.
Your Company Size is changing
The fire protection equipment that should be installed in your building is dependent on the number of people that occupy the building. So if your company is either growing or downsizing, you’ll want to make sure you have the right amount of fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, and fire alarms needed for the people in the building. The number of people in your building will also affect the fire code that you’ll need to abide by.
It Requires a Lot of Maintenance
When there are issues with a fire protection device, it’s best to call in a professional to take a look and repair any damages. However, if you’re starting to call in a professional regularly, then it might be time to replace the system and cut out the maintenance costs. Because it could be costing you more money to continuously update your system rather than investing in a new one. Plus it’s not safe to rely on a system that has a lot of issues.
