Abstract

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 7240-1:2005 provides a set of general guidelines and definitions to be used in describing the fire detection and alarm system equipment, tests and requirements in the other parts of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 7240.

The components that a fire detection and alarm system can have are shown in Figure 1. Item C of Figure 1 can be replaced by a sound system for emergency purposes, the components of which are shown in Figure 2.

Fire detectors can be self-contained: these are devices containing within one housing all the components, except possibly the energy source, necessary for detection of fire and giving an audible alarm.

Inter-connected smoke alarms complying with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 12239 and not connected to control and indicating equipment do not form a fire detection and alarm system as defined in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 7240-1:2005.
