Fuel, heat and oxygen are all needed in the right combination to produce fire.
1) Incipient: Products of
Combustion particles are
produced (<0.3 microns).
No visible smoke or detectable
heat. May occur for milliseconds
or days.
Ionization Detectors
2) Smoldering: Visible
smoke particles are produced
(>0.3 microns). Little visible
flame or noticeable heat.

extend into the duct to
sample the air inside the duct.
Primarily used as a smoke control device to
control the flow of air in ductwork.

Sounders: Electronic or
mechanical audible devices,
which are capable of producing
a variety of tones. Often, the
tone is selectable during installation
of the device.
What is it?
Sound that generates at all
frequencies bands across the
human hearing range - Low, Mid and High
Together, all three frequency bands
produce true broadband/directional sound
True broadband is now
easily recognizable by
the human ear

Device Selection
Photo vs. Ion, line versus spot.
What is are the total costs of one type versus another?
How does the environment affect device selection?
Does the device meet code specifications and code?
Placement of Devices (where do you place smoke
detectors, pull stations, notification appliances)?
Calculations (how do you calculate battery size and
NAC voltage drops?).
Programming (how will you accomplish your non-
general alarm events?).
