Q1: What is the difference between a conventional and addressable fire alarm system?
A: A conventional fire alarm system divides the building into zones and indicates which zone the fire is in, but not the exact location. An addressable fire alarm system is more advanced and identifies the exact device or room where smoke or fire is detected, making it easier and faster to respond.
Q2: Which fire alarm system is best for my building?
A: For smaller buildings with simple layouts, a conventional fire alarm system is usually sufficient and more cost-effective. For large facilities, hospitals, high-rise offices, malls, or industries where quick pinpoint detection is critical, an addressable fire alarm system is recommended.
Q3: Do fire alarm systems require regular maintenance?
A: Yes, both conventional and addressable fire alarm systems require regular inspection, testing, and maintenance to ensure they work effectively in an emergency. A maintenance contract (AMC) helps in keeping the system compliant and reliable.
Q4: How often should a fire alarm system be tested?
A: Ideally, fire alarm systems should be tested monthly for functionality, while a comprehensive inspection and maintenance should be carried out at least once every 6–12 months by certified fire safety professionals.
Q5: Does A-One Fire Service provide AMC for fire alarm systems?
A: Yes, we offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for both conventional and addressable fire alarm systems in Delhi NCR. Our AMC covers preventive checks, detector testing, panel inspections, and emergency breakdown support.
Q6: Are your fire alarm systems compliant with Delhi Fire Service guidelines?
A: Absolutely. All our fire alarm systems are ISI-approved and designed as per the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) norms and other national fire safety standards, ensuring full compliance and reliability.
