In addition, in Germany alone, fires cause multiple billions of euros in damages each year. TELENOT’s fire detectors effectively eliminate this danger by alerting people to fires early. Since your life and that of your family or the existence of your company depends on a fire detector in an emergency, you should trust in TELENOT’s high quality equipment when selecting fire alarms and fire detection technology.

What is the difference between fire detectors and smoke alarm devices?

Both fire detectors and smoke alarm devices are designed to provide a warning in the event of fire and protect both people and property. However, both work on different operating principles. Fire detectors are often part of a comprehensive fire detection and fire alarm system prescribed by law, and may use a variety of different sensors to detect fires. This includes smoke detectors, thermal detectors, flame detectors, or gas detectors. Depending on the sensor, they detect smoke, heat, flames, or dangerous gases. Fire detectors are often installed in commercial or public buildings, industrial plants or large residential compounds, and are connected to a fire alarm control panel.

Smoke alarm devices only detect smoke. They usually use photoelectric (optical) or ionizing sensors to detect smoke, and are primarily designed for use in private homes.

Why is installing smoke alarm devices legally required?

Smoke alarm devices save lives. That is the core message that highlights how important these small devices are. By detecting smoke early, they can warn a building’s residents early, giving them enough time to get to safety. In many countries, including Germany, legal provisions state that smoke alarm devices must be installed in new and existing privately used buildings. As a general rule, the owner of the building is responsible for installing smoke alarm devices. In rental properties, it is usually the landlord who must install these devices.

Where should smoke alarm devices be installed? 

In general, smoke alarm devices should be installed in bedrooms, children’s rooms, and hallways serving as emergency exit routes. Here, too, the specific requirements may vary slightly based on your location.
