Overview of Fire Alarm Systems
The primary purpose of a fire alarm system is to provide early warning of a fire so that building occupants can be evacuated and action taken to stop fire as soon as possible - all according to a predetermined plan. Alarms may be raised automatically, by smoke or heat detectors, or manually by a person operating a manual call point.

To ensure an alarm is dealt with in an orderly manner, it is important to know where the alarm is coming from. To aid this function, fire alarm systems are usually split into zones, each covering a different area of a building.

When an alarm has been raised, the fire alarm panel responds by indicating the zone in which the alarm has occurred and activating all relevant sounders, bells and other alarm outputs to provide a warning of the fire. Additional alarm outputs available on this alarm panel (which may or may not be used depending on the requirements of the site).
