What Is A Fire & Smoke Sensor? How Does It Work?

What Is A Fire & Smoke Sensor?

A fire & smoke sensor, as the name suggests, is a sensor that can detect smoke and fire. The smoke detector is always in active mode, so it always works whether the control panel is active or not.

The fire & smoke detector is incorporated with the control panel. It can be wireless as well as wired. It also requires a battery to operate. It also has an inbuilt siren and LED indicator whose function is different in different situations. 

How Does It Work?

Whenever the smoke sensor detects smoke and fire, the siren will start ringing and it will share information with the control panel. The control panel will send a notification to the central monitoring station and also send a signal to the outdoor siren/external siren if installed and the siren, control panel, and fire & smoke detector will sound the alarm for a specified time until the alarm is canceled or for a pre-defined time.

Operators from the central monitoring station will inform the homeowner and local authorities and will also communicate with the customer/user until the problem is resolved.

Top 5 Reasons Why Fire & Smoke Sensors Are So Important

 

  1. Stylish

These sensors are designed in such a way that they not only protect your family and home but also look stylish, which is why they do not affect the beauty of the room when installed in it.

  1. Multiple Functions

Apart from style, fire & smoke sensors can also detect smoke and fire. Smoke sensors are designed with many such functions. Functions like smoke detector, temperature detector, sound alarm, and light indicator are included, which make it even smarter.

  1. Safety Of Your Family

Usually, the worry we have day and night is the fear for the safety of our loved ones and our valuables. DFS’s fire & smoke detector is the one that keeps an eye on your house like a guard, 24 hours a day so that you remain safe.

  1. CMS Monitoring

When the smoke detector detects danger, it gives the information to the control panel within seconds and also automatically sounds the alarm. The control panel also sends this information to the CMS, along with this the SMS Gateway working at the backend sends this information to the customer within 3 seconds. Along with this the CMS operator directly contacts the house owner and informs him, that if the customer feels or says that he needs a local authorization facility, then we call them on behalf of the customer. And until this problem is solved, our operators follow up with the customer.
