Fire alarm systems are very important in the protection of
lives and property through early detection and notification. Guard Master
understands that fire safety in the UAE is strictly regulated by legal
guidelines that are intended to provide maximum protection to the buildings and
their inhabitants, so I will be using this guide to put you through the process
Guard Master uses to attain the best fire alarm system installation for you in
UAE.
Before we begin installation we have to first determine the
type of fire protection system that is appropriate for your building:
Our personnel will install this in a way that the system
will be zoned and each zone will have multiple detectors installed. If a detector
receives a signal, the fire alarm panel determines the zone where a fire has
started. The components of this conventional fire alarm system that we’ll
install for you are:
i. Fire alarm panel 1 to 12 zone.
ii. Smoke detectors.
iii. Heat detectors.
iv. Manual call point.
v. Bell 6.
vi. Weatherproof bell 8.
vii. Beam detector with receiver.
vii. Fire-resistant cable.
We always recommend using this conventional system for small
buildings or less complex building layouts.
In an addressable system, the installation is done for you
so that every device that is connected to the system has a specific address
assigned to it. You will be fully educated by our Guard Master licensed
professionals on how to identify the specific location where the fire has been
detected using the control or display panel once a detector is activated. The
components of this addressable fire alarm system that we’ll install for you
are:
i. Manual call point.
ii. weather-proof sounders.
iii. Input output modules.
iv. Addressable control panel.
v. Smoke detectors.
vi. Fire alarm sounder with flashers.
vii. Smoke detector with sounder base.
viii. Smoke detector with sounder and flasher.
ix. Heat detector.
x. Multisensor Detector.
xi. Waterproof manual call point.
xii. Sounder.
xiii. Fire alarm flashers.
xiv. Beam detector with a receiver.
xv. Monitoring module.
xvi. Control Module.
xvii. Zone control module.
xviii. Fireproof cable.
We always recommend using this system for large facilities
as they offer better sensitivity and a quicker reaction.
Your project will be done in a way that all fire alarm
systems will be in compliance with the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code. Guard
Master understands that this code lays down the guidelines for fire safety
provisions in residential, business, and industrial structures to make the fire
alarms efficient.
It is required by law to seek the permit of the Dubai Civil
Defence before the installation of your fire alarm system. In this step, Guard
Master ensures that Dubai Civil Defence assesses the design of the system as
well as its parts to ensure compliance with the required standards.
For your installation, the Guard Master personnel will only
use fire protection equipment that has been accredited by the UAE authorities.
Be rest assured that the systems and devices in the approved list will all
function properly.
All contractors that will be installing your fire protection
systems will be licensed by the Civil Defence authorities. They are all
conversant with the legal requirements on fire safety within the region and
make sure they adhere to the set rules.
The first step will be to help you choose the fire alarm
system that is best for the layout of the building and its specific needs. In
big buildings, although conventional systems could be used, most of the time we
advise the use of addressable or fully automatic systems for swift and precise
identification of fire.
Once the design of the system is done by our professionals,
the next step is to present the design to the Civil Defence for consideration.
This process helps ensure that the design meets specific fire safety codes of
the region where the project is located.
Immediately after the approval, the installation process
will take place. These include detectors, control panels, alarms, and all other
devices that are mounted all over the building. Installation will also be done
in the right manner to ensure that the efficiency of the system is not
compromised.
Once the system is in place, it will be checked whether the
various assembled components function as required. The detectors, alarms, and
control panels will operate effectively to the fire conditions.
1. Monthly Testing: The system will be tested on a monthly
basis to confirm that the various parts of the system are working as a whole.
2. Annual Inspection: A more comprehensive examination of
the system will be done once a year and includes testing and certification of
the entire system.
3. Replacement of Faulty Components: Faulty parts will be
replaced immediately to avoid compromising the effectiveness of the system.
