Initiating and Detection Devices (Fire Alarm Detectors)
Product details
Initiating or detection devices tell the control panel that an incident has occurred, after which the system raises the alarm automatically. There are two kinds: automatic initiating devices and manual initiating devices.
• Automatic initiating devices (alarm detectors) detect a fire and signal the control panel automatically. They include smoke detectors, heat detectors, flame detectors and gas detectors.
• Manual call points (manual stations) are switches operated by a person pressing or pulling them. Some types require the glass to be broken first.
