Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
A system where detection and notification work together.
Choosing the right fire alarm panel is important, as are the placement of detection points and the system’s compatibility with other building components. Narstek handles the entire process, from site survey and design through to installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Site survey and system design
The building’s intended use, floor plans, environmental conditions and existing cabling are assessed. The system type is evaluated based on factors such as monitoring requirements and plans for expansion.
Installation and site work
The panel, detectors, manual call points and alarm devices are installed; circuits are checked and device addresses configured in accordance with the project scope. Make and model compatibility is considered before installation.
Commissioning and cause-and-effect testing
Device details and location names are configured. Alarm, fault and relevant control outputs are tested in accordance with the approved scenarios and manufacturer’s instructions.
Maintenance and system upgrades
Recurring faults, contamination, communication problems and changes in use are assessed. Options compatible with the existing infrastructure are proposed when component replacement or increased capacity is required.
Addressable or conventional?
Addressable systems allow individual devices to be monitored by unique identifiers; conventional systems generally provide information at zone level. The choice should take into account not only building size but also operational requirements, cable infrastructure, layout, ease of maintenance and project scope.

About Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
Can the existing fire alarm control panel be retained?
A decision is made after assessing the panel’s condition and capacity, device compatibility and spare-parts availability. The entire system does not need to be replaced every time it is upgraded.
How is the fire alarm system maintenance interval determined?
The maintenance schedule is prepared by assessing the system’s features, environmental conditions, manufacturer’s instructions and applicable requirements.
Is the number of detectors alone enough to provide a quote?
No. Panel capacity, cable routes, alarm devices, integrations and site access also affect the scope.
