Conventional devices are basic components of traditional fire alarm systems.
They include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points.
Devices are grouped into zones, and each zone shares a wiring loop.
When an alarm is triggered, the control panel identifies the zone, not the exact device.
This makes troubleshooting and pinpointing the issue slower.
They are simple, reliable, and cost-effective for small to medium buildings.
No digital address is assigned to the devices.
Wiring and installation are more straightforward compared to addressable systems.
They are widely used in schools, small offices, and residential buildings.
Best suited for applications where exact device location is not critical.
