Fire alarm sensors: their characteristics and advantages

Before choosing fire detectors, decide on their location. The smoke detector is by no means recommended to be placed in a dusty and smoky room. The smoke detector also does not need to be placed in the kitchen, as it is susceptible to steam and grease. A heat sensor can be installed in a place such as a kitchen. Such a sensor reacts to an increase in the temperature regime if this regime has become higher than a preset level.

A thermal fire detector may not be very effective if the room has high ceilings. If you pay attention to different fire alarm sensors , then the flame detector can be called indispensable in ensuring fire safety. This sensor reacts to the infrared environment in the room, and only when it sees the object of fire, it immediately reports it. It is generally accepted to place the fire sensor in warehouses, in basements, where the smoke detector will be ineffective, since smoke can dissipate over the entire area of ​​the warehouse, and the heat sensor will detect an increase in temperature only if the building frame itself heats up. This, of course, is unacceptable, since by that time everything inside can already be burnt. And it is in such rooms that the flame detector is the most important and irreplaceable. But, of course, all fire alarm sensors are indispensable for providing fire alarms.

It is also important that fire alarm sensors can only spread over a certain area of ​​the protected object. Therefore, when choosing sensors, it is necessary to consult whether this sensor is suitable for your particular object. Therefore, one sensor is often not enough for an object and you have to install several sensors in different places of the protected area.

After you have completely decided which sensors you need and where is the best place to put them, you should think about which fire alarm sensors are better: wired or wireless. If it is difficult to carry out all the special communications to the sensor, then it is best to choose wireless sensors. But compared to wired ones, wireless sensors are much more difficult to use, and their cost is significantly different. Therefore, if you have the money and are not afraid of difficulties during installation, then wireless sensors are ideal for you.
