Q1: How long does it take to install a fire alarm system?
The installation time depends on the size and complexity of the building. A small business may take 1–2 days, while large facilities like factories or hospitals may take several weeks.
Q2: Which standards should fire alarm systems comply with?
In Turkey, installations must comply with the "Regulation on Fire Protection of Buildings." Internationally, systems should follow standards such as EN54 or LPCB certification for reliability.
Q3: Do fire alarm systems work during a power outage?
Yes. Fire alarm panels include backup batteries, ensuring that the system operates even when electricity is cut. This guarantees uninterrupted safety.
Q4: What is the difference between conventional and addressable fire alarm systems?
Conventional systems identify alarms by zones.
Addressable systems show the exact detector or call point location that triggered the alarm. This allows faster intervention.
Q5: Can fire alarm systems be monitored remotely?
Yes. Modern addressable panels support remote monitoring and control. Notifications can be sent instantly to operators, allowing centralized management of emergencies.
Fire alarm systems are essential not only for compliance but also for reliable safety. Choosing the right system—whether conventional or addressable—depends on the building type and usage.
