Fire Detection and Signalling System

The Fire Detection and Signalling System allows a fire to be detected at an early stage of its development. Information about the fire is transmitted by SAP to the permanent supervision site, the fire control panel or directly to the State Fire Service.In facilities where the Fire Detection and Signalling System has been installed, automatic fire detectors and manual call points (so-called ROPs) are installed.

These devices are connected by wires to the electronic fire control panel. The detection of a fire by an automatic fire detector or the pressing of a manual call point sends a fire message to the fire panel. In turn, the information about a fire in the building is communicated to the personnel by means of an acoustic and visual signal, which is activated from the fire panel.

The central element of the system is the control panel, which collects and analyses data from the detection devices and performs the appropriate control and signalling operations. This is the so-called “brain” of the fire alarm system. Modern control panels allow the system’s operating plan to be freely configurable. When selecting the control panel, it is advisable to take into account the conditions in the building, the level of security and the availability of spare parts.

There are several types of detectors:

The advantages of the SSP are indisputable – faster fire detection, quicker response and evacuation, reduced property damage and, above all, saving lives. To ensure the correct operation of the SSP, its professional design, selection of the right system for the area to be protected and professional assembly are essential.
