Smart smoke alarm can replace the fire sentry?

Jessica Zheng

As dry climate in autumn and winter, fire accidents have occurred; developed in today's

fire early warning can it be made to reduce the fire which may cause loss of life and property?

With the rise of wireless communications technology in the Internet of things, smart early

warning has drawn much attention in the field of fire prevention, and was first applied in last

year's Xiamen BRICS meeting. It seems that the smart smoke alarm has gradually been

recognized by the market, then the smart smoke alarm can bear the sentry task?

First of all we need to understand what is a smoke alarm? Smoke alarm is the sentry fire

system, the use of photoelectric smoke or ion smoke technology, by monitoring the

concentration of smoke to achieve fire prevention can be detected early in the fire after the

alarm directly to alert the scene staff promptly evacuated and escape the fire escape; And

independent smoke detection alarm with sophisticated technology, easy installation, easy

maintenance, low cost, the effect is obvious and so on. The smart smoke based on emerging

technologies such as NB-IoT/LoRa and other IoT areas uses wireless communication, plug and

play, no wiring, easy to install; low power consumption, battery standby time up to several years

without frequent battery replacement, effective reduce maintenance costs. Nowadays, smart

alarm have been approached to become effective technical means to prevent the“mortal

fire”disaster in more and more families and social units.

In appearance, the NB-IoT / LoRa-based smart standalone smoke detection device has no

difference from the traditional photoelectric smoke alarm, with the subtleties of the chip on the

bottom of the device - its NB-IoT/LoRa IoT Wireless communication technology module, with

ultra-low power consumption, wide coverage, stronger signal penetration and other advantages,

to achieve the equipment life cycle of long standby, stable transmission and other effects,

extremely suitable for distributed, long-term, long-distance area, a smoke alarm can detect 25 to

40 flat spaces, in the true sense of the high availability of Internet of things.

Small, low frequency, very suitable for smoke scenarios; Based on NB-IoT / LoRa

communication Because the smart smoke detectors only upload device status information and

alarm information, a very small amount of data wireless smoke is becoming the mainstream.

Smart smoke detection and timely detection of fire alarms, fire information sent simultaneously

to the Fire IoT cloud platform, synchronized by the cloud platform to send notifications to

people’s phones (fire department, fire grid staff, maintenance personnel, property managers,

individuals, etc.) In the early stages of the fire, accurately detecting the fire and quickly alerting

the police are of great significance to stop the spread of fire problems in a timely manner, quickly

evacuate people in an orderly manner, quickly extinguish fire, reduce possible property losses

caused by fire and even ensure the safety of life.

In domestic life, the use of gas and natural gas is essential. There are bound to be some

hidden dangers of fire, fire alarm on how to timely warning, which put forward some of the more

critical of smart smoke evaluation criteria:

Response time: refers to the alarm is triggered until the system displays the probe gas interval. It

is the most basic measure of the functionality of an alarm system. An alarm must have the ability

to detect and promptly display the results of the probe in an appropriate manner.

Alarm response: alarm from the scene to the control center alarm time interval display. It

includes the alarm delay, the establishment of communication and control system equipment

delay(usually sound, light display) and so on.

Alarm confirmation time: from the alarm scene to the control center to confirm the alarm

is a real time interval. It includes the alarm response and the review process using the time, such

as on-site monitoring, remote reception time. This process may also include the communication

time used by the control system to alert the superior alarm center of the amount of alarm and

related information. In addition, the linkage start-up time can also be seen as the response time.

Such as from the detector to the scene of the control linkage (such as closing the solenoid valve

to cut off the gas source, and open the exhaust fan, etc.) interval. Usually the alarm response is

very short. Therefore, in the specific test, to confirm the alarm confirmation time or system

response is appropriate.

Detection zone: A certain range of security system design, when the gas reaches the alarm

concentration in this range, the detector detects in time and sends an alarm signal.

Sensitivity: The ability of the detector to sense gas leaks at the installation site, usually under

25% of different alarm concentrations for different gases. Compared with the conventional

contact combustion sensor, the most prominent feature of the semiconductor ambient

temperature sensor used in the gas alarm is that it requires no heating, so the device has the

advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, low power consumption and long service life, and

has a prospective application prospect more extensive in actual testing, the above two should be

combined to do. Detectors can use the lighter deflation test method to test whether the alarm

can achieve gas leak monitoring, testing to be conducted several times.

No interference, to avoid installation in the wet place or smoke and dust concentration of

places, spraying paint, alcohol and other volatile chemicals, so as to avoid false positives.

In all corners of the city are facing a large amount of fire safety issues; fire management

emphasize emergency relief, but in the face of the increasingly complex construction

environment in large cities, simple emergency rescue appears single and passive, how to make

fire control change passive for the initiative to find hidden dangers? Smart smoke help to timely

warning of fire hazards take preventive measures, smart smoke alarm will be the most out of the

fire sentinel role.
