Analogue Addressable Systems
This section on Analogue Systems describes the most common form of addressable fire system currently in use. These systems have been developed from the earlier non-analogue addressable system technology to enhance their capabilities dramatically giving a powerful & adaptive system suited to many complex applications. The two primary enhancements include analysis of the amount of smoke / heat or other phenomena in the form of an analogue value, and the addition of fire alarm sounders powered and controlled by the addressable loop. As the underlying technology is similar to the earlier Addressable Systems, the basic technology is not described here so you may need to read the Addressable Systems page first.
- Uniquely addressed detection devices
- Individual communications capability to each detection device
- Analysis of Analogue Values
- Display of Individual device location
- Detection device compatibility is important
- Loop powered addressable sounders connected to the communications loop
