CURRENT STATE OF RESEARCH AND NORMATIVE FRAMEWORK ASSESSMENT OF FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS SREGARDINGUITABILITY FOR OPERATION

Abstract

Regardless of how reliable modern fire alarm systems are against false alarms, a significant number of fire alarms cannot be relied upon due to the undesirable sensitivity of fire detectors. One of the most important characteristics of the reliable operation of the fire alarm system is the accuracy and reproducibility of the activation of fire detectors under the influence of dangerous fire factors. Namely the achievement of the accuracy of measuring the magnitude of the signal at which the fire alarm is triggered during external testing we have taken as the basis, as a working hypothesis, for soling the main task - increasing the operability of the fire alarm system. The above implies the need to implement a set of measures aimed at maintaining these systems in good technical condition, which ensures their use for their intended purpose. The work reveals the innovative approaches of domestic Ukrainian and foreign researchers in maintaining fire alarm systems in a suitable operating condition and rationalizing the methodology for diagnosing the sensitivity of fire detectors to the controlled parameters of the service area. The research makes it possible to build a solid foundation for identifying gaps in the methods of diagnosing fire alarm systems, deriving ideas that contribute to the development of new conceptual foundations of the subject area.
