Abstract
An integrated fire alarm method includes receiving a preliminary detection signal from a preliminary detector, and comparing the preliminary detection signal with a predetermined corresponding threshold; controlling a notification device to issue an early-warning notification if the preliminary detection signal is greater than the corresponding threshold; receiving a primary detection signal from a primary detector after issuing the early-warning notification, and comparing the primary detection signal with predetermined corresponding threshold; and controlling the notification device to issue a formal notification if the primary detection signal is greater than the corresponding threshold.
Claims16
An integrated fire alarm method, comprising:
- providing at least two fire detectors of different types for respectively detecting different physical properties;
- providing at least one notification device;
- selecting one of the at least two fire detectors as a preliminary detector and remaining at least one fire detector as a primary detector, the preliminary detector and the primary detector being different types of fire detectors;
- receiving a preliminary detection signal from the preliminary detector, and comparing the preliminary detection signal with a predetermined corresponding threshold;
- controlling at least one notification device to issue an early-warning notification if the preliminary detection signal is greater than the corresponding threshold;
- receiving a primary detection signal from the primary detector after issuing the early-warning notification, and comparing the primary detection signal with a predetermined corresponding threshold;
- and
- controlling the at least one notification device to issue a formal notification if the primary detection signal is greater than the corresponding threshold.
An integrated fire alarm system, comprising:
- at least two fire detectors of different types for respectively detecting different physical properties, one of the at least two fire detectors being selected as a preliminary detector and remaining at least one fire detector as a primary detector, the preliminary detector and the primary detector being different types of fire detectors;
- at least one notification device;
- and
- an integrated controller coupled to the at least two fire detectors and the at least one notification device;
- wherein the integrated controller receives a preliminary detection signal from the preliminary detector and compares the preliminary detection signal with a predetermined corresponding threshold, and the integrated controller controls the at least one notification device to issue an early-warning notification if the preliminary detection signal is greater than the corresponding threshold;
- the integrated controller receives a primary detection signal from the primary detector after issuing the early-warning notification and compares the primary detection signal with a predetermined corresponding threshold, and the integrated controller controls the at least one notification device to issue a formal notification if the primary detection signal is greater than the corresponding threshold.
