Addressable Fire Alarms

Addressable Fire Alarms from Banham

Addressable Fire Alarms for your residential or commercial property

Addressable Fire Alarms 

Addressable Fire Alarms are a more complex system compared to non addressable fire alarms. Addressable fire alarms are used in larger buildings which need an advanced system to identify exact areas of fire.  

The detectors within the system are wired in a loop around the building and each detector has its own identifiable address, so that the exact location of the fire can be pinpointed quickly and efficiently.  Unlike, non-addressable systems the zoning is done through programming, so the same cable can pass through the whole building and individual detectors can be isolated instead of an entire zone.  

This system can dramatically reduce false alarms and unlike non addressable systems will make the user aware if a detector has become faulty.

In the event of a fire or fault the control panel offers text descriptions of the condition, unlike the non addressable which will only illuminate relevant LEDs, thus identifying a fire or fault much quicker.

Banham has qualified technicians that will come to your premises to assess your fire protection needs. Our trained technicians hold the highest level of fire safety and are reviewed annually by the National Security Inspectorate.

Ionisation Smoke Detector

Ionisation Smoke Detector

  • The air in the dual chambers of the ionisation smoke detector is irradiated to produce ions that travel to the electrodes and create a flow in the chambers
  • A digital signal is produced in the sensing chambers by the electronic circuitry and then transmitted to the control equipment on interrogation. 
  • When a fire occurs, the micro processor compares the signal with the stored data and initiates a pre alarm or fire alarm according to the smoke density. 

Heat Detector

Heat Detector

  • Low air-flow resistance case 
  • Monitors temperature by using a single thermistor network

Multisensor Detector

Multi-sensor Detector

  • Combines inputs from optical & heat sensors. Uses these processes to create a sophisticated algorithm.
  • Similar construction to Optical detectors but uses a different lid & optical mouldings to accommodate the thermistor temperature

Optical Detector

Optical Detector

  • Optical smoke detector uses an internal pulsing LED & a photo-diode at an obtuse angle
  • Optical smoke detector's outer shell is identical to the ionisation detector but is different because it has an LED which emits red light when the detector is in alarm
