Fire Alarm Systems — Life Safety in Tbilisi
Fire Alarm Systems are critical safety systems for early fire detection and saving lives in residential and commercial properties in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia. These systems detect smoke, fire, high temperature, carbon monoxide (CO), and gas leaks at the initial stage of fire and immediately alert with loud siren, visual signal, and automatically contact fire service, allowing timely evacuation and preventing loss of life and major property damage. LAGI offers a full range of fire alarm equipment: optical smoke detectors (photoelectric sensor, 85dB sound), ionization smoke detectors for fast-flaming fires, heat detectors 57°C/72°C temperature, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, gas detectors CH4/LPG, conventional fire panels 2-32 zones, addressable systems 512+ detectors, Manual Call Point buttons, sirens and strobes 100dB sound. All systems comply with Georgian fire safety standards and international EN54 certification.
Main Components of Fire Alarm Systems
- Smoke detectors — optical (photoelectric) and ionization types, 85dB sound, 1-10 year battery life, test button.
- Heat detectors — respond to temperature 57°C/72°C, ideal for kitchens, garages where smoke detectors are not suitable.
- Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors — detect colorless deadly gas, 85dB sound, LCD screen for CO level display, 7-10 year lifespan.
- Gas detectors — detect natural gas (CH4) and liquefied gas (LPG), 85dB sound, relay output for gas valve closure.
- Fire panels — conventional (2-32 zones) and addressable (512+ detectors), LCD screen, battery backup power, BMS integration.
- Manual Call Point — manual activation buttons (break glass), red color, installation at exits, 470Ω resistor.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Fire detectors should be tested monthly by pressing the test button (should sound alarm). Batteries should be replaced annually or when detector starts beeping (low battery). Entire detector should be replaced every 10 years (sensor degrades over time). Professional inspection should be conducted annually.
Conventional systems — detectors grouped into zones (e.g. zone 1 = first floor), panel shows only which zone alarmed, cheaper, suitable for small sites. Addressable systems — each detector has unique address, panel shows exactly which detector activated (e.g. "smoke detector #47, 3rd floor, room 305"), more expensive, mandatory for large buildings.
Yes, fire alarms integrate with: access control (automatic door opening during evacuation), ventilation systems (smoke extraction, fire spread prevention), elevator control (elevator descends to first floor and locks), video surveillance (automatic recording), BMS building management systems (centralized monitoring).
