All fire life safety and security systems are susceptible to faults, which often arise due to a variety of factors. Among these, false alarms are by far the most common and resource-intensive problem that all businesses face. To offer clarity, we've listed the root causes of these false alarms and other system faults:
- Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures, dampness, or even dust, cobwebs, and insects can significantly impact system performance and trigger unwanted alarms.
- Poor Design/Installation: Issues can arise from systems or devices not being suitable for their environment, incorrect setup of hardware/software, or poor workmanship during installation, creating inherent problems.
- Equipment Age: Components naturally degrade and wear out over time, leading to various malfunctions. Most manufacturers state a service life of 10 years for field devices and 4-5 years for standby batteries.
- Improper Maintenance: A lack of regular servicing, attention to detail, cleaning, and testing allows small problems to escalate into major faults and frequent false alarms.
- Misuse or Vandalism: Accidental damage, deliberate tampering, or incorrect operation by users can directly cause system failures and faults.
