Electrical fire alarm system is an effective fire prevention measure that can automatically and quickly detect the outbreak of a fire and signal danger.
Based on factors such as increased temperature, IR/UV radiation, the presence of smoke particles, combustion products, or other indicators, the electric fire alarm system evaluates the situation and triggers an alarm. Early detection allows for quick intervention, which helps protect both human lives and property.

Types of fire detectors
Fire detectors are a key component of electrical fire alarm systems, and the right choice depends on the type and nature of the protected area. Different environments require different technologies – for example, in restaurant kitchens, high operating temperatures must be taken into account, while in underground garages, smoke spreads differently than on above-ground floors.
When deciding on a specific type of electric fire alarm system, it is important not only to comply with legal standards, but also to consider the sensitivity of the detectors and the specifics of the space in which they will be installed. To avoid making the wrong choice and to ensure maximum system reliability, we recommend consulting with experts who have many years of experience in the field of fire alarm systems.
An Electrical Fire Alarm System (EPS) is designed for early fire detection. It consists of detectors (smoke, heat, or flame), a control panel, and signaling devices. When signs of fire are detected, the system automatically triggers an acoustic and visual alarm and may alert emergency services.
The requirement to install an EPS depends on the type and size of the building. According to regulations No. 94/2004 Z.z. and 726/2002 Z.z., EPS is mandatory, for example, in buildings over 1000 m², healthcare facilities with inpatient care, accommodation facilities for over 100 people, and assembly areas for more than 500 people.
The cost of installing an EPS system depends on various factors such as the size of the building, the number of zones, types of detectors, and integration requirements. An accurate quote requires project documentation and consultation with a specialist firm.
Regular maintenance of the EPS is essential for its proper operation. It is recommended to conduct daily, monthly, and quarterly checks by an authorized person, and an annual inspection by a certified technician. All checks must be documented.
Yes, modern EPS systems can be connected to a central monitoring station or directly to the fire department’s operations center. This ensures automatic dispatch of help in the event of a fire, increasing the effectiveness of the response and safety of occupants.
