Addressable fire detection systems have microprocessor infrastructure. Today, they are the most advanced systems used in fire alarm systems. Each detection element has an address and there is a continuous communication between the Alarm Panel and all elements (detector, button, module, etc.). In this way, the status of each sensing element is continuously reported to the panel. An advantage of the active communication between the sensing elements and the panel is in the wiring. Thanks to the connections called as connection, the cost of cable and economy in labor can be provided.
Systems have very advanced software. In this way, many changes in terms of operation variations can be made easily. In addition, the systems can be controlled via the online computer. The addressable systems are supported by a variety of additional field materials to collect information from other auxiliary systems as well as sensing elements, or to activate or deactivate related systems.
For example; The Control Module is used to monitor the locations of fire extinguishing systems pumps, flow switches and line shutoff valves, fire dampers or to control elevators, commissioning of smoke exhaust fans, closing fire doors, and making the warning locally. These different addressing methods are very important in the establishment and use of the system.
