Automatic Fire alarm system – ABA System

An ABA system – Fire alarm system is a legal requirement in all new buildings in accordance with the Building Regulations and is therefore automatically installed in all new buildings according to requirements from the building and fire authorities. However, it is up to the individual company/builder whether they want to install the ABA plant themselves, for example for something newer and better to increase safety. This may be relevant for companies where employees, customers, and others. has valuable assets in the building.

When the building and fire authorities arrange for the installation of an ABA system, it is automatically connected to the fire service, which can quickly expire in the event of a fire. If you choose to install yourself, you must actively choose whether it should be connected to the Fire Brigade. That’s why there are a lot of things to think about when you need to have ABA installed – here we come into the picture.

At PH-EL & Sikring we have many years of experience in the industry and have guided and established ABA with large corporate customers for decades. We offer highly trained staff at attractive prices, both when talking ad hoc tasks and service (service contracts).

This is how an ABA system Automatic Fire Alarm System works

An ABA system (abbreviated by Automatic Fire Alarm) is a fire alarm system. It typically consists of a control panel, a series of detectors, alarms, alarm pressure, flash and orientation plans.

• Detectors

The detectors can be of different types and are determined by wishes of e.g. reaction time and any considerations of environment and environment at work.

The most common detectors are addressable optical detectors.

• Alarm pressure

The alarm pressure is to manually activate the system and can also be used in other types of emergency where you want to evacuate the building quickly. At an ABA system required by the government, the alarm pressure will always send a direct signal to the Emergency when you press it.

• Alarms

In the building you can get 3 different types of alarms in your ABA system: sirens, voice alerts, or optical alarms (flash alarms). When we help you put together your plant, we take taking into account the nature of the work, the noise level, and the size and division of the premises.

• Control panel, flash and orientation plan

There will always be a red flash alarm on the facade, which helps the Fire Service find the entrance where your control panel and orientation plans are located. With the help of the two elements, the Fire Service can quickly get an overview and locate the fire in your building.

Collect all your fire protection centrally with ABA

The fire alarm system can control other fire protection systems such as ABDL systems, warning systems, fire ventilation, and room extinguishing systems. It can also receive an alarm signal from e.g. an automatic sprinkler system or an automatic room extinguisher system.

Design and maintenance of ABA system

There are high demands on the maintenance of an ABA system, because it has a direct connection to the Emergency Preparedness. First and foremost, you must appoint an operator responsible for the day-to-day operation of the ABA plant. He or she must complete a special course for ABA plant operations and maintenance managers. Secondly, it is a legal requirement that the ABA plant receives a service inspection once a year, during which functional tests are done. This functional test must be performed by a certified ABA company. Finally, you must have an agreement with an accredited inspection company (DBI or RMG) that, on behalf of the authorities, checks that your facility is being properly inspected and that there is an operator who has the skills to perform the task.

However, all this you do not have to speculate so much when doing business with us.
