fire alarm system manufacturer

A company that manufactures systems used to detect fires and initiate warning or other responses.

A fire alarm system manufacturer is a company that manufactures fire alarm systems in a built object, which are used to sense and respond to fires. Fire alarm systems may respond by sounding an audible alarm, flashing lights, activating a sprinkler system, and/or placing an emergency call to a fire department.

The supplied system senses a fire and initiates a response. Audible or visible warnings and the other responses listed above are alternatives or combinations, rather than a requirement that every system perform all of them.

A sprinkler system discharges an extinguishing agent, while the fire alarm system detects and signals the fire or initiates connected action. An alarm system can be connected to suppression equipment without the two systems having identical functions.
