Fire alarms have various sensors. Everything from gauges that determine if water is flowing through pipes, to detectors that contain trace amounts of radiation that ionize causing alarms. They can have heat sensors with varied temperature settings, to valve sensors that ensure that water or suppression systems are not isolated.

What is difference between a fire alarm and a burglar alrm?
A fire alarm turns on when the sensor senses heat nearby while a burglar alarm senses movement or forced entry from a specific area it is guarding..
Can you paint fire alarm sensors?
Most fire alarm products state that you shoud not paint over the fire alarm detector. This could ruin the sensor, and if it's broken, the company would probably blame you or charge you extra for doing something that they told you not to do. Idealy, you shouldn't do it in any case. The fumes could damage the sensor's components inside. So no, not really!
What is the maximum number of devices can be connected in one loop of a fire alarm control panel?
There is no such standard. Fire alarm control panels are typically customized for as many loops as necessary for the structure. It may have one loop or a hundred or anything in between.
What is a fire alarm cause and effect matrix?
That is the analysis in which process generate and sort hypothesis about possible problem in the process by asking participant to list all the causes.
Which alarm can protect people from fire?

How does a simple fire alarm works?
A simple fire alarm has a sensor or switch that reacts to fire or smoke and trips a device that makes noise. For instance, you could use a string pulling on a switch that is held open by the string until the string catches fire, closing the switch and ringing a bell.
What is a function of a transistor in a fire alarm circuit?
A special sensor or transducer called a thermistor is used to detect an increase in the temperature of the surrounding air whenever smoke is produced by a fire. A different type of sensor is used to detect an increase in the size and density of particles in the surrounding air after it has been contaminated by smoke from a fire. Either sensor gives an output in the form of an increase in voltage whenever it detects an increased temperature and/or smoke particles. That increase in voltage is fed to the base of a transistor. When the voltage to its base increases, the current from the transistor's emitter to collector (or from its collector to emitter) increases and that increase in current operates the alarm. In other words, in a fire alarm circuit, the transistor acts as a switch which turns on the alarm whenever a sensor or transducer detects the presence of a fire, else it remains off.
What is another phrase for fire alarm sounded?
The fire alarm rang
What does a fire alarm technician do?
The fire alarm technician is in charge of the installation of fire alarm systems. Fire alarm systems include addressable or conventional alarm control panels, smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual button alarms, sirens and strobes, signs, etc. A professional fire alarm system is large with professional addressable bus lines alarm systems, addressable detectors for building fire security, or other special field fire security. So, the fire alarm technician should be knowledgeable in alarm systems working principles and installation.
When was The Fire Alarm created?
The Fire Alarm was created on 1936-03-09.
Who called the fire alarm about montag?
