Security area

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The security area is the area to be monitored for hazard alarm systems.

The term security area is different in details for burglar alarm systems and fire alarm systems.

Fire alarm systems

The security area is to be divided into reporting areas and alarm areas. Security areas must be fully monitored, i. H. all rooms (with a few exceptions) and their sub-areas (e.g. false ceilings and raised floors , chambers, shafts) must be equipped with automatic fire alarms .

Intrusion alarm systems

Security areas do not have to be fully monitored, depending on the requirements, the outer skin monitoring, focus monitoring, trap monitoring or a combination of these types of monitoring is sufficient. An armed security area of ​​an intrusion alarm system cannot be entered without an alarm being triggered. An intrusion alarm system can be divided into several security areas.

With burglar alarm systems, a distinction is made between closed and open security areas.

  • Closed security area: The locations in which the items to be monitored are located are closed buildings, sections of buildings or demarcated rooms.
  • Open security area: Objects, outdoor areas, parts of rooms that are to be monitored but are not considered to be locked, as access is also possible for unauthorized persons.
