What is a fire detector

The fire detector is a key device for early detection of fires. Its task is to transmit an alarm signal, which helps to quickly react to a fire and prevent damage. There are different types of detectors:

1. Smoke detectors — fix smoke particles in the air using the photoelectric or ionization principle.
2. Thermal — they react to an increase in temperature.
3. Flame — detects radiation from an open flame.
4. Gas — determine the increase in the concentration of combustible gases.
5. Ionization — effective in rapidly developing fires, but have limitations in use.
6. Optoelectronic — suitable for places with slow decay.

During installation, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the object, such as the likelihood of steam, dust and temperature fluctuations, as well as compatibility with the alarm system and compliance with regulatory requirements. The correct choice of the detector type and regular maintenance will ensure its efficient operation and safety.
