Fire Detection and Early Warning Systems
Fire detection and warning systems are among the most effective ways to protect life and property today. Atlastek provides secure and intelligent early warning infrastructures with advanced fire detection and warning systems, from residential buildings to industrial facilities.
So, what are fire detection and warning systems, how are they applied, and why is regular maintenance so important? Here are all the details:
What are Fire Detection and Warning Systems?
Fire detection and warning systems are technological systems designed to provide warnings against potential fire hazards and increase safety. These systems, equipped with sensors that can detect risks such as smoke, heat, and gas, generate visual and audible alerts in the event of danger, speeding up the intervention process. These systems, specially planned for different building types and usage areas, are supported by Atlastek’s high-precision security solutions. The fire detection systems used in this context detect potential risks and provide an opportunity for early intervention.
Application Types of Fire Detection and Warning Systems
Fire detection and warning systems are applied in different ways depending on the size and purpose of the building. The main types of systems are as follows:
- Conventional Systems
- Addressable Systems
- Analog Addressable Systems
Regulations and Requirements for Fire Detection and Warning Systems
Fire detection and warning systems not only enhance safety but are also defined as a legal requirement. The installation of these systems has been made mandatory in buildings of certain sizes or usage purposes for fire protection.
The table below shows the areas where fire detection and warning systems are mandatory according to the type of building:
Building / Area Type | Size / Number of Floors | Requirement Status |
Residential (apartments, housing complexes, etc.) | Buildings with more than 30 independent units | Mandatory |
Shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, cinemas, theaters, and similar facilities | Every square meter | Mandatory |
Offices and commercial buildings | Enclosed areas over 1000 m² | Mandatory |
Production facilities, warehouses, factory areas | Buildings containing flammable or explosive materials | Mandatory |
Educational institutions, dormitories, student accommodations | 3 floors or more | Mandatory |
Small businesses and shops | Areas under 1000 m² | Recommended |
These requirements are based on fire safety regulations and legislation. Atlastek develops fire detection and warning system solutions that comply with the applicable regulations and standards in all its projects.
Basic Functions of Fire Detection and Warning Systems
Informing
Directing to the competent authorities
Activating the extinguishing system
Starting the evacuation process
Preventing false alarms
Maintenance of Fire Detection and Warning Systems
To ensure that fire detection and warning systems work reliably, regular maintenance and testing procedures must be carried out. Cleaning of detectors, calibration of sensors, and testing of control panels directly affect system performance. Atlastek ensures that systems operate continuously, reliably, and in compliance with standards through periodic maintenance and testing services.
As Atlastek, we not only meet the requirements of the TS 12849 certificate, which certifies our quality, but also apply the highest standards in fire detection system periodic maintenance and after-sales support services. Our advanced alarm center, with remote monitoring capabilities, provides rapid intervention and service guidance in case of technical failure or emergencies.
