Requirements for Smoke Sensors in Commercial Buildings

The laws regarding smoke sensors in commercial buildings depend on local, state, and federal regulations. While different localities may have tighter regulations as well, everyone must follow the federal guidelines. NFPA sets the rules for businesses and fire protection, requiring sensor placement in every room, hallway, and storage area.

Types of Smoke Sensors

There are two main types of smoke detectors on the market. Choosing a sensor depends on your company’s specific needs. For example, a sensor sensitive to smoldering fires may become a nuisance in an industrial kitchen.

Photoelectric Sensor

Photoelectric sensors use light sources and photosensitive cells. Light scatters if smoke enters the chamber and causes the alarm to sound. Photoelectric types tend to pick up smoldering fires quickly.

Multisensor Detector

A multisensor uses both photoelectric and ionization detection of fires. By combining technologies, the sensor can detect a wider range of fires quickly.
