The xenon tubes used in fire alarm strobes are typically rated for several thousands of hours of operation. Given that these strobes rarely operate for more than a few minutes at a time, and usually only during testing, anywhere from annually to monthly, the expected life would be for many years. It is much more likely that a building's strobes would have to be replaced due to legal requirements such as fire alarm or ADA codes changing than due to the device itself wearing out.

Role of timer in fire alarm?
Depends. Most fire alarm panels have delay overrides in them so maybe when the fire alarm initially gets triggered, it waits a few minutes/seconds while the person investigates the cause of the alarm. Once the time is up, the alarm sounders/bells automatically start activating. In some other cases, you could have a class change feature in which the panel is programmed to sound the fire alarms at a certain time in the day- for example, class change in a school, the fire alarms produce a signal from the panel to signal class change.

Are fire alarms and smoke detectors the same thing?
The terms can sometimes mean the same thing: a self-contained smoke detector with a built-in fire alarm.However, they are technically different and can be obtained in many types.A fire alarm SYSTEM can contain smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations and other sensors related to fire protection, including switches that say the fire sprinklers or the commercial kitchen fire extinguisher has activated. All of these sensors and switches are wired to a fire alarm control panel that monitors them constantly for electrical trouble or for alarm conditions, relaying the alarm message to bells, sirens, strobe lights and maybe even calling the fire department.Most people say "smoke detector" when they mean "self-contained smoke alarm". The smoke alarm does not usually connect to anything other than maybe another smoke alarm or two, so they all make noise when there is a fire, but someone still has to remember to call the fire department.
