Concept
Fire Detection System Objects
Fire detection system objects such as fire detection panels, loop devices, and zones, are configured and interact with each other to provide the necessary features to the fire detection system.
Fire Detection Systems
The main purposes of a fire detection system are to save lives and to minimize damage to buildings and other properties in case of a fire. A fire detection system detects actual fire, risks of fire, and other fire-related events.
For more information, see Fire Detection Systems .
Fire Detection Panels
The fire detection panel (FDP) is the control unit of your fire detection system. The panel connects objects in a configuration and allows users to interact with them.
For more information, see Fire Detection Panels .
Fire Controls
Fire controls reside in the FDP. Most of them provide output functionality to loop devices and expansion boards that have outputs that correspond to the fire control output.
For more information, see Fire Controls .
Expansion Boards
Expansion boards are inserted into slots on the FDP panel to provide necessary or additional functionality.
For more information, see Expansion Boards .
Loops
A loop controller is an expansion board in the FDP that allows one or several loops to be created in the configuration. In a loop, different types of loop devices operate together to provide the required functionality for fire detection.
For more information, see Loops .
Loop Devices
Loop devices provide functionality for fire detection, smoke detection, input, output, and other necessary features.
For more information, see Loop Devices .
Zones
In a fire detection system, a zone is configured to represent a group of loop devices in a compartment, such as a room, of a building or a property.
For more information, see Zones .
Fire Detection Objects Enumerations
An enumeration is a set of values for a variable representing a command, event, mode, setting, or similar.
