Eng.Rabih wroteHI there.
Can you please provide the area of the office and the number of rooms ? because i have noticed there is quite a few detectors. Also you might want to consider increasing the number of manual call stations.
I would suggest replacing the bells for mini horns. much more pleasant on the eye for an office and they are addressable without needing any relay or supervised output modules.
There in an option out there to buy a Fire Alarm Control Panel with an integrated dialer. But you can also purchase one from EKT for about 35$.
You can also use sounder bases for advanced alarm function which is to alert people inside the fire zone of danger. People aren't always aware of what's happening, unless you're installing sufficient horns.
You should also be careful not to over shoot the Fire alarm control panel you need. You only need 1 loop so don't over pay for this.
One last thing, please don't forget the fire extinguishers.
hello , the office is two stories , about 20-30 rooms .
would the mini horns give enough decibels for sound alarm ? what are exactly the sounder bases ?
would the dialer work with a sim card ? as there is no phones in the office ( only internet central and ip phones between branches )
i have manual fire extinguisher ( CO2 and foam ) with sizes ranging from 5 to 50 kgs distributed around the office .
I want to add that the building has a faux-plafond ( a fake ceiling made of wood ) so i would probably need to add few detectors there as well .
what would you advise me ? my needs is a fire alarm that would give sound and visual alarm in the first place .
