Unit 2 & 3 - Advanced Detection Design & Advanced Alarm Design

Description

Delegates for these Units should pass Unit 1 - Fire Detection Design before proceeding with these.

This is a two day course and the Units are intended for those working principally in system design, estimating and planning fire protection schemes. 
They will interest designers, consultants and system house engineers.

Information during these two Units includes:

Day 1 – Advanced Detection Design

• The application of BS 5839-1 (2002) for detector coverage and spacings
• Efficient usage of detectors
• Effect of obstructions, such as beams
• The effect of pitched roofs for all types of detector
• The categories of protection in the latest Code of Practice
• Detection in voids, lift shafts and stairways

Day 2 – Advanced Alarm Design

• Detailed design calculations for alarms
• The effect of ambient noise
• The recommendations for alarm zones and phased evacuation
• Communications with the fire service
• Cable limitations, especially for loops
• The recommendations for network cables
• Battery calculations for standby and alarm durations

Delegates will be given substantial tests to consolidate the course presentation, concluding with a scheme design for alarms.
