Types of Systems
1. Conventional
Conventional
2. Addressable
Addressable fire alarm systems assign each initiating
3. Analog/Addressable
Analog/Addressable systems are wired and have the same
advantages of a straight addressable system, but offer
additional features that assist in the testing and
maintenance of a system. Instead of using a detector
that is either in alarm or normal.
The Analog/Addressable system uses a sensor for
detecting a level of alarm. The panel and the sensors
communicate and the panel will determine, based on
preprogrammed levels, if the device is normal, dirty or in
alarm.
The analog systems also use modules for dry contact
inputs, power outputs and relays, however these have no
analog value to communicate back to the panel, just a
normal or off normal. The installer can run reports from the
analog system and determine if devices are within
sensitivity levels within the listed parameters as required by
the testing requirements

distinctive enclosure. Once actuated, the box must be reset to restore the
unit to normal.
Contact and circuit arrangements may very to provide a number of
functions simultaneously.
2. Coded
Contains a mechanically or electrically driven motor, or an electronic pulse
generator. When activated, the motor turns a code wheel causing contacts
to momentarily open or close or the pulse generator operates to reproduce
the code of the box. The box is required to repeat its code a minimum of
three times.
Contact and circuit arrangements many very to provide a number of
functions simultaneously.
3. Breakglass
To initiate an alarm, one must first break glass or some other
4. Non-Breakglass
A manual fire alarm box that does not have a breakglass feature.
5. Single Action
A single action of breaking a glass orother frangible element or
6. Double Action
Two actions are necessary to initiate an alarm. Either break a glass
