"Fire detection"

Description :

The fire detection system (FDS) plays a vital role in detecting and preventing the outbreak of a fire, so that action can be taken as early as possible. But while the quest for early detection is constant, it must not be at the expense of the system's stability. The effectiveness of a system depends on the choice of sensors being appropriate to the phenomena likely to occur. It is therefore essential to call in a professional for the design, installation and maintenance of the system.
 
This book, which is aimed at installers, maintenance managers, operators and safety managers, details the operation, applications, installation and use of the different types of detectors that can make up a fire detection system. Data sheets illustrated with diagrams describe each type of equipment in terms of operating requirements and the regulations and standards in force.
 
This book can be used by professionals, both users and specifiers of fire detection systems, as well as by non-specialist readers who can familiarise themselves with the various regulatory, technical and technological aspects of this safety equipment
