If a fire is detected in any part of your property and your fire indicator panel is activated during that time it signals you that it is time for you to launch your emergency plan. You need to start evacuating the staff and ensure that your staff and visitors make their way to emergency assembly points. The fire indicator panel not only helps in early detection and sends out warnings but also helps the occupants of the property by sending out evacuation directions. A fire indicator panel, , also known as FIP, receives information from environmental sensors such as heat or smoke detectors that can detect changes in the environment associated with fire. It is, however, important to choose the right type of fire detection solution as it ensures the safety of your property. There are two types of fire alarm panels or fire indicator panels. They are as under: Suite 1, Shop 3, 109- 111 Nicholson Street, Footscray, VIC 3011 www.vfp.com.au

When a fire is detected in any particular zone the detector registers the alarm and gives an indication and assists in letting us know as to in which area of the building the fire is located. Addressable The second type of fire indicator panel is the addressable fire alarm panel. They are a much more complex system than the traditional conventional fire alarm panel. It has an LCD that helps the emergency services to identify the exact location of the fire. Our fire indicator panels are integrated with an array of sensors like smoke detectors, temperature detectors, flame detectors and manual break glass points. Once our sensor detects changes or unusual activity, it gets activated and sends the alert signal directing all the occupants that there is a fire somewhere in the building.
