Fires can happen anytime — even from small causes like short circuits or unattended stoves. That’s why early fire detection is critical. One of the types of fire detectors main components of a fire protection system is the fire detector, which identifies smoke, heat, or flame before a fire spreads.
At Adiwarna Anugerah Abadi, we’ve spent over a decade providing reliable fire protection systems — from design and supply to installation and maintenance — for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
What Is a Fire Detector?
A fire detector is a device that senses early signs of fire and sends signals to a fire alarm control panel, activating alarms or automatic suppression systems.
It plays a crucial role in early evacuation and preventing severe damage.
Types of Fire Detectors
🔹 1. Smoke Detector
Detects smoke particles in the air.
Types:
- Ionization: Detects fast-burning fires.
- Photoelectric: Detects slow, smoldering fires.
Pros: Early fire detection.
Cons: May cause false alarms in dusty areas.
🔹 2. Heat Detector
Detects sudden temperature rise or fixed high temperature.
Types:
- Rate-of-Rise (ROR) and Fixed Temperature detectors.
Pros: Reliable in harsh environments.
Cons: Reacts slower compared to smoke detectors.
🔹 3. Flame Detector
Detects UV or IR radiation emitted by open flames.
Pros: Fast response to real flames.
Cons: Ineffective for smoke-only fires.
🔹 4. Gas Detector
Detects combustible or toxic gases like LPG, CO, CH₄.
Pros: Prevents fire risk from gas leaks.
Cons: Limited to specific gases.
🔹 5. Beam Detector
Uses infrared beams between transmitter and receiver; alarms trigger when smoke disrupts the beam.
Pros: Perfect for large open areas.
Cons: Requires periodic calibration.
How to Choose and Install the Right Detector
- Choose based on room type and risk level.
- Combine smoke, heat, and flame detectors for complete coverage.
- Follow NFPA 72 and SNI 03-3985 standards.
- Test and maintain regularly at least twice a year.
