Conventional Fire Alarm Panels

Inbuild UK’s Fire Alarm Panels are designed to act as the brain of the fire detection and alarm system, continuously monitoring all connected detectors, manual call points, sounders, interfaces, and control devices. When an alarm is triggered, the panel processes signals, activates appropriate evacuation alerts, and initiates programmed cause-and-effect actions such as door release, smoke ventilation, or plant shutdown.

Built to comply with relevant BS EN fire safety standards, our panels provide dependable operation for commercial, industrial, and public buildings. Models are available in both conventional and addressable formats, giving installers the flexibility to match the panel to system size, building layout, and project requirements.

Key features may include:

• User-friendly interfaces
• LCD displays for system status
• Programmable zones and loops
• Network capability
• Battery backup for uninterrupted operation
• Event logs for compliance and maintenance

Our fire alarm panels are engineered for easy installation, simple configuration, and future scalability, making them suitable for new installations, upgrades, and system expansions. With strong reliability, intuitive controls, and full integration capability, they ensure every fire alarm system performs precisely as intended.

A fire control panel (also known as a fire alarm control panel or FACP) is the central hub of a building’s fire detection and alarm system.  A fire control panel is essential for early fire detection, effective evacuation, and minimising property damage. Here’s what it does:

• Monitoring: The panel continuously monitors connected devices, such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points, for signs of fire.
• Alerting: When a fire is detected, the panel activates alarms (e.g., sounders and strobes) to alert occupants and initiate evacuation.
• Controlling: It can activate other fire safety systems, such as smoke control systems, fire dampers, or sprinklers, to manage the fire and protect escape routes.
• Communication: The panel can send signals to emergency services or monitoring centres, ensuring a rapid response.
• Diagnostics: It provides information about the system’s status, including faults or maintenance requirements, ensuring the system remains operational.

• Conventional panels use zoned wiring, identifying an alarm by area.
• Addressable panels identify the exact device that triggered the alarm.

Yes — all panels comply with relevant BS EN fire safety regulations, including BS 5839 guidance.

Yes — panels include standby power to ensure operation during mains failure.

Yes — panels can interface with smoke control systems, access control, HVAC, and building management systems depending on the model.

Yes — Inbuild UK provides full programming, commissioning, and system verification services.

Many models allow additional zones, loops, or networked panels to be added as the building’s needs grow.
