Fire detection systems are critical life safety installations. EN54 compliance ensures reliability during emergencies.
Addressable vs Conventional
Addressable systems identify exact detector location for faster response. For buildings over 500m2, addressable systems are recommended.
Detector Types
Optical smoke for general areas, heat for kitchens, multi-sensor for highest accuracy, flame detectors for outdoor areas.
Maintenance
EN54 requires testing every 6 months. Annual inspection includes sensitivity testing, battery test, and full functional test.
