Conventional

The Conventional Fire Detection System from Inbuild UK is a dependable and straightforward fire alarm solution designed for buildings where a simple, robust fire detection system is required.

Unlike addressable systems, conventional systems divide a building into zones, allowing the control panel to indicate the general location of a fire. This makes them ideal for small to medium-sized properties, including offices, retail units, schools, warehouses, and residential buildings.

The system typically includes:

• Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel
• Smoke Detectors (optical or ionisation)
• Heat Detectors
• Manual Call Points
• Sounders and Visual Alarms
• Fire Rated Cabling

Key features and benefits:

• Cost-effective fire protection
• Simple installation and maintenance
• Clear zonal indication of fire activation
• Fully compliant with BS 5839 standards
• Suitable for new installations and retrofit projects
• Reliable early fire detection

Conventional fire detection systems are particularly suited for premises where the source of a fire can be quickly identified within a specific zone, reducing complexity while maintaining a high level of life safety protection.

At Inbuild UK, we supply and support complete fire detection solutions, ensuring compliance, reliability, and long-term performance.

A conventional fire detection system divides a building into separate zones. When a detector is triggered, the control panel identifies the zone where the alarm originated, rather than the exact device location.

They are ideal for small to medium-sized buildings, such as offices, shops, schools, and small warehouses.

A conventional system identifies the general zone of a fire. An addressable system identifies the exact device location, making it more suitable for larger or more complex buildings.

Yes, when correctly designed and installed, conventional fire detection systems comply with BS 5839 and other relevant UK fire safety regulations.

Yes, conventional systems are generally more budget-friendly than addressable systems, particularly for smaller premises.

Expansion is possible within the limits of the control panel’s zone capacity. Larger expansions may require panel upgrades.
