Fire and Smoke Alarms

Because the warn people of good standing that a burglary may be occurring, allowing these people to do something about it and catch the criminals.

Not unless it is smoked in the vicinity of a smoke detector.

Most smoke alarms use Americium-241 to detect smoke and hot air, thus triggering the alarm. Some gamma radiation is emitted by the smoke alarm but all the alpha radiation is blocked by the black box.

Living for a year within 1 metre of a smoke alarm would give you a radiation dose of 1.5 millimeters per year, which is about 1/1000th of the radiation that we receive normally. If you held a smoke alarm in your hand then you would get a significant dose, but you're not going to do that are you?

The Americium is chosen because of it's very high melting point (it's designed to work in a fire). Even in a house fire, the material will not melt and would not be a health hazard.

But there are some safety things to remember

- Never hold a smoke alarm in your hand to long

- Never attempt to disassemble the radioactive elements housing or damage it as will release radiation still capable of causing a health hazard

You technically should not be installing a Fire Alarm dedicated system. You need to call local professionals to do it for you.

They can be the same thing.

Fire Alarm Systems are electronic systems which are designed to warn and alert people in the case of a fire. These systems usually contain a central fire alarm control panel, a manual call point and smoke/heat detectors. The heat detectors and detect heat and set off the fire alarm and the smoke detectors detect the smoke from a fire to also set of the fire alarm system. The manual call points are pressed, smashed by someone in order to set off the fire alarms to warn occupants that there is a fire.

Heat detectors and usually used in kitchens, bioler houses etc where a lot of smoke/stome is produced, thus stoppping false alarms.

Although, you can get seperate heat detection systems which nearly do the same job as fire alarm systems, just with heat detectors.

Normally in a hotel you would not have battery operated smoke alarms. You would have a mains powered fire alarm system connected and networked throughout the hotel building. In this case, heat detectors may be installed as they do not detect smoke...only heat. Although, removing the detector head or disconnecting the detector is illegal and dangerous as it may disconnect the rest of the fire alarms in the hotel and for your electrical safety.

The difference between Conventional and Addressable systems is simple. Addressable systems provide exact detector location in the event of activation, and Conventional will only let you know the "zone" or string of detectors attached on a single circuit. In other words, you can either have a pin pointed location (1st Floor Room 101, Addressable) or a general direction (All first floor, Conventional).

Demons are in smoke and fire when there is evil presence around the fire or smoke the best way to ward off the evil demons is to have Christians, bibles, and/or scripture reading

GE alarm systems can be purchased from a number of different retailers. One can purchase GE alarm systems online from retailers such as Home Security Store and Amazon.

NASA developed smoke detectors as part of their efforts to ensure safety in the confined environments of spacecraft. The technology was crucial for detecting smoke and potential fires, which pose significant risks during space missions. By creating reliable smoke detection systems, NASA aimed to protect astronauts and equipment, ultimately enhancing the safety and success of their missions. This technology has since been adapted for widespread use in homes and buildings on Earth.

Indeed it is. A fire can harm your security. If not noticed on time, such as when you are asleep. A fire alarm will alert you in a building or a house, so you can move to safety on time, so it is part of security, even when the term most often refers to a person providing guard to property or life.

In the commercial sense of security, yes, a fire alarm would normally be part of the security company's job, in addition to monitoring intrusion alarms and other conditions of the particular location.

For another thing, the security department may be responsible for maintaining and testing the fire alarm system, not to mention writing policies and procedures for use in training the various occupants in what to do during a fire alarm.

The typical window alarm works on a trip sensor. One part of the sensor is placed on the window frame, while the other piece is is aligned with the frame piece than attached to the window. When the contact is broken between the two, the sensor will send a signal to sound the alarm. These alarms are both wired and wireless. Advantages of the wireless alarm is that it can be set up to send a message to your cell phone and the authorities.

advantages:They save lives, they are cheap, easy to fit , reliable

disadvantages: Radioactive material( in ionising smoke alarms which releases alpha particles) nucience alarms ( when the alarm goes of because of cooking or burnt toast)

A thermostate is a thing which can control or in easy words we can say it is resistant to heat.

Like we can take the example of thermopole classes ( disposable classes ) if we pore hot tea in it and hold it in our hands so we will not be able to feel the heat as thermopole is heat resistance.

Thermo means heat like you can say thermometer. It is used to know the temperature of heat.

As thermo means heat and meter means measurement

All smoke detectors must be replaced no less frequently than 10 years. Heat sensors must also be changed, and some of them tested to see if they were working when removed from service.

Local code requirements determine how many heat sensors must be changed according to the results of the testing.

no, hot showers may produce Steam, not smoke

The batteries will run out and they will no longer work.

Yes, it is.

Some fire stations offer smoke alarms at little or no cost. Fire stations always have smoke alarms available, to make sure that there community is kept safe.

Inside a building requiring manual pull stations, they should be located adjacent to each fire exit. For manual pull stations on street corners and buildings, they can be place anywhere the local fire department believes necessary for public safety. In Jamestown, Rhode Island, every commercial building has its own manual fire department call box on the front of the building, even if it is only ten feet from the one on the next building.

It depends on the type of fire alarm and how loud it is set to and where it actually is. If it is a loud, high pitched alarm then yes it may cause some temporal hearing loss but I doubt permanent.

Hit it with a hammer...or disconnect the wires and reconnect them

Yes, they can. A fire alarm reaches very high decibel levels, which vary between models. It's best to leave the building while a test is occurring, because a person is not meant to withstand that level of sound for an extended period of time without hearing protection. This is why it is required of landlords to notify tenants of a test 24 hours before the test occurs.

Just in case you miss a notice, or it happens while you are out shopping, at school, or at work: My advice is to buy a pair of ear plugs to wear if an alarm goes off where you are. Hearing loss IS preventable, and they won't take up much space in your car, purse, or whatever you carry with you.
