The interpretation of the APS is as follows: it is an automated fire protection. Such systems are used to prevent fires in residential, office and work premises. Automatic protection is essential in multi-story buildings with 10 or more floors.
Fire protection
In the modern world, the fire protection system is becoming increasingly complex and multifunctional. For its effective operation, smoke detectors and ventilation sensors alone are already inadequate. There is an increasing need for a multi-level system that will be integrated into an integrated fire-fighting system.
An increase in the number of construction projects and the construction of structures in the form of wholesale megastores, large modern hotels, and multi-storey densely populated houses leads to the need for APPZ systems that would optimally protect lives and material values from fires.
Let us return to the decoding of the APS. Special requirements for the system during a fire will be determined by the timely detection of foci, a huge set of ways to control ventilation, valves to delay the spread of fire, elevators, a warning system and control evacuation of people.
Fire Maintenance
In accordance with the rules and technical documentation for fire extinguishing systems, after their installation and a certain service life, it is necessary to carry out scheduled maintenance (maintenance). Events are held at predetermined dates and approved by the passport data for the installed equipment. Scheduled maintenance is carried out by persons with special qualifications in a particular area and certification licenses for the work performed.
Decoding APPZ is quite simple. The following components are included in the package of such a system:
- fire alarm;
- warning system and adjustment of evacuation of citizens in case of fire;
- automatic fire extinguishing systems themselves;
- smoke removal systems in case of fire;
- water supply internal fire extinguishing lines;
- alarm component;
- visual observation devices;
- access control management system.
Work package TO
Maintenance of the fire alarm has a certain list of works. These are events such as:
- personal inspection of all sirens;
- visual inspection of elements of control panels and other various areas of fire alarm;
- inspection of electrical communications alarm and places of their fastening;
- check fuses and connecting contacts;
- inspection of various switches throughout the alarm system;
- search of indicators based on light and sound;
- control check of fire alarm software;
- grounding inspection, and if necessary - its mandatory repair;
- inspection of the main and additional power supply unit (it must be remembered that this type of work should only occur when the voltage is off);
- verification of sensors and the entire alarm system as a whole with the help of a training fire alarm;
- checking insulation layers of various levels of fire protection;
- thematic work on staff training.
If damage is found, or if necessary, all parts of the fire alarm with defects should be replaced with workable ones as soon as possible and in compliance with all norms and requirements of technical documentation.
ATPP Priorities
The primary concern of fire fighting systems is to determine the location of a fire. Further, the automated protection uses all the necessary signals to trigger fire-fighting measures at the controlled object. What does it mean? Sensors are meant to trigger smoke removal. At the same time, the ventilation system in the general exchange is de-energized. The processes of conservation and non-proliferation of air in elevator shafts and stairwells, the blocking of fire dampers and doors, and the activation of all the currently required automated fire extinguishing devices begin.
Also, certain elements of the system notify responsible personnel who are on duty about a fire incident in a controlled area. In addition, information is communicated to all people at the hazardous facility.
Most of the time, automated fire protection systems are in an operating mode in which all the previously described actions are not accepted by the system for execution. The fire alarm in this case (in standby mode) minimizes all false signals, thereby preventing material losses. Now you know the decoding of the APS.
APPZ installation in houses
Installation of the fire protection system in residential buildings, hostels, hotels, cultural services and other similar places is carried out according to the project. It is developed in advance and approved by all necessary state specialized bodies. Its cost is determined directly on the constructed object, which determines the complexity and type of fire protection system. And that's not all. Moreover, the built-up area and costs of the amount of material and equipment used are taken into account.
Installation of automatic fire protection provides for the following stages of work:
- purchase of necessary components;
- laying of cable lines and pipelines for distribution;
- mounting control and starting devices and devices such as smoke detectors, sirens, power elements, relay blocks and others;
- synchronization of the fire system with the engineering structure of the facility (ventilation and elevator shafts) and its systems (access control in the fire condition);
- commissioning and startup activities;
- preparation of proper documentation;
- inspection of the facility by fire control authorities;
- commissioning.
Design APS
The development of the project provides that automatic fire extinguishing installations will simultaneously perform the functions of automatic alarm. Fire protection should work around the clock, have a remote and local start-up mode. Substances in ATPZ for fire extinguishing must meet the requirements for buildings and premises, for fire safety, based on the type of activity of production and the properties of materials. Depending on this installation for extinguishing fires, there may be:
- water type;
- foam type;
- gas;
- powder.
Fire alarm service should be carried out on time and by qualified specialists or personnel with proper training.
