Conventional / Addressable Fire Alarm Panels

Simply put, with addressable systems, since every fire detecting device has its own address, one is able to pinpoint the precise location of the fire in a large building or even a complex. In a conventional system, the devices are connected to the control panel with individual wires

A conventional fire alarm system is a fire alarm system wired using a radial method (single legs of cable). These radials are wired from the main fire alarm panel and are either fire alarm zones or sounder circuits. Fire alarm zones are the radial circuits that monitor the detectors and manual call points.
