Fire Alarm and Detection Systems Course
Course Overview:
This course offers thorough information about fire and gas detection systems along with their principles and applications.
It also delves into their components which include heat, fire, and smoke detectors. Participants will gain knowledge on VESDA, systems, loop topology, and diagnostic methods.
The course incorporates understanding of fire alarm systems and hydrocarbon and toxic gas detectors, standards of fire alarm system design, notification types of alarm systems, and means to reduce false alarms.
Suitable for architects, engineers, HSE personnel, facility operators and loss auditors, this course aims to provide students with the skills of designing, specifying and maintaining functioning systems for fire detection and alarm.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the main types of smoke detectors and their working principle
- Understand the working principle of the different types of heat detectors
- Describe the function of the VESDA system
- Know the typical loop architecture of smoke/ heat detectors
- Describe different types of fire detectors and their principle of operation
- Specify the appropriate type of fire detector for the service
- Describe the purpose of Optical Integrity “OI” optional
- Troubleshoot and identify problems with fire & gas monitoring systems
- Describe the principle of operation of Hydrocarbon Gas Detectors
- Describe the principle of operation of Toxic Gas Detectors
