Maxetco offers fully customizable integrated processes, comprising a Master Fire Control Panel (MFCP), Local Fire Control Panel (LFCP), suitable fire and gas detectors, and relevant alarm devices in the field.
Fire alarm systems are categorized into two types:
- Addressable Fire Alarm System
Addressable fire alarm systems utilize digital technology for information transfer. They consist of fire detectors and devices connected to a central control panel, with each device having a unique address or location. This enables quick identification of the triggered detector, making addressable systems ideal for large commercial premises.
Equipment for addressable fire alarm systems includes:
- Control panel
The Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel utilizes one or more Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs), commonly referred to as loops or SLC loops, which can range between one and thirty. Depending on the protocol employed, each Signaling Line Circuit has the capability to monitor and control several hundred devices. Some protocols allow for a flexible mix of detectors and input/output modules, while others allocate 50% of channel capacity to detectors/sensors and 50% to input/output modules. Each SLC polls the connected devices, which can range from a few to several hundred, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications. Larger systems may incorporate multiple Signaling Line Circuits. Every device connected to the SLC is assigned a unique address, enabling the panel to accurately monitor the status of each device.
- Loop carts
- Digital I/O modules
- Isolators
- Conventional modules
- Smoke detectors
- Heat detectors
- Multi detectors
- Sounders and flashers
- Manual call points
- Fire resistance cables
- Conventional Fire Alarm System:
Conventional systems are hardware-based, consisting of zones connected to the main control panel and incorporating multiple devices, including initiating and notification devices.
Equipment for conventional fire alarm systems includes:
- Control panel: Drives detection zones and sounder circuits, providing LED indication of fire, fault, or normal conditions. Contains switches to activate or silence sounders and reset detectors following an alarm. Powered from mains (230VAC) with backup batteries for at least 24 hours of operation in case of failure.
