Questions
When is a conventional fire alarm the right choice?
For smaller, simpler buildings like this workshop. A conventional system divides the building into zones and shows which zone has operated; an addressable system pinpoints the exact device, which matters more as buildings get bigger. Addressable fire alarms.
Why do workshops often have heat detectors?
Sawdust, fumes and steam can set off smoke detectors, so areas where they are normal usually get heat detectors instead. Which detector goes where is part of the fire alarm design.
