Question 1

What is the difference between conventional and addressable panels?

Accepted Answer

A conventional panel identifies which zone (group of detectors) is in alarm, but not the specific detector. An addressable panel identifies the exact detector or device in alarm, showing its programmed location on the display. For buildings larger than 5,000 sq ft or with more than 3 floors, addressable panels are recommended for faster emergency response.

Question 2

How do I choose the right panel size?

Accepted Answer

For conventional panels, count the number of zones needed (typically one zone per floor or department). For addressable panels, count the total number of devices (detectors, MCPs, hooters, modules). A 1-loop panel supports up to 126 devices, sufficient for most mid-size buildings. We help size the panel during the design phase.

Question 3

What is the price of a fire alarm panel in Bihar?

Accepted Answer

We supply conventional panels from 2-zone to 16-zone configurations, as well as addressable panels from 1-loop to 4-loop systems for large complexes. The cost depends on the panel type, number of zones/loops, and building requirements. Contact us for a quote.

Question 4

How long does the battery backup last?

Accepted Answer

As per IS 2189, fire alarm panels must have battery backup for at least 24 hours in standby mode plus 30 minutes in alarm mode (with all hooters sounding). Higher-capacity batteries can extend this. Batteries should be tested monthly and replaced every 3-4 years to maintain reliability.

Question 5

Can the fire alarm panel activate sprinklers and other systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, modern panels have programmable relay outputs that can trigger sprinkler systems, fire suppression systems, smoke ventilation, elevator recall, door release mechanisms, and PA system announcements. Addressable panels offer zone-specific control, so only the affected area's suppression system is activated.
