BMA

A fire alarm system (FAS) is a technical safety system that is used to detect fires at an early stage, trigger an alarm and notify the fire department. It consists of various components such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, fire detectors, manual call points, control panels and alarm devices.

The BMA continuously monitors the surroundings for signs of smoke or heat and triggers an alarm immediately if a fire is detected. This can be done acoustically by sirens or visually by flashing lights. At the same time, the fire department is automatically informed so that they can start fighting the fire as quickly as possible.

There are different types of fire alarm systems, including conventional and addressable systems. Conventional systems divide the monitoring area into zones, while addressable systems assign a unique address to each detector, which allows for more precise localization of fires.

Fire alarm systems are used in a variety of environments, including residential buildings, office buildings, industrial facilities, hospitals, schools and shopping centers. They are an essential part of preventive fire protection and help to save lives and minimize property damage.

Overall, fire alarm systems are an indispensable tool in fire protection, providing early warning of fires and thus contributing to the safety of people and buildings. Their effective use requires regular maintenance, user training and compliance with the applicable regulations and standards.
