Fire Alarm System Design Software Free Download

Multi Alarm GB can design a wide variety of Fire Detection & Alarm Systems from simple stand-alone systems to complex networked systems, from small buildings to full shopping centres, from ancient Cathedrals to new offices. Multi Alarm GB carry out Site Surveys, Fire Engineering reports, initial System Design and detailed Design Testing & Simulation.

Multi Alarm GB follow a procedure, approved to BAFE SP203, to proceed from your requirements to a System Design Specification.

Fire Alarm Design Calculation Freeware System Sensor Voltage Drop Calculator v.3.02.0040 System Sensor's Voltage Drop Calculator is a quick and efficient means for developing voltage drop calculations for fire alarm control panels and auxiliary power supplies. Fire alarm systems at the Seattle campus are maintained by Campus Engineering and Operations. As a result the University has found it cost effective to develop specific standards for design, installation and acceptance of fire alarm systems. The standards include a sole-source justification for Simplex fire alarm systems. Please use the UW Fire. For larger and networked fire alarm systems, only a few entries will ensure the automatic calculation of all necessary networking devices (ethernet switches, media converters, and related housing components). A clear and concise view of the networked system is available at any time and can be exported with one click as XPS, PNG or JPEG file.

The first stage is for Multi Alarm GB to ascertain your requirements. This might be a specification supplied by you either written or verbal. We would normally request drawings of the premises to be protected. If drawings are not available then a Site Survey would be carried out by Multi Alarm GB.

The use or intended use of the premises is ascertained and risks are evaluated. From this, the required standard and ‘type’ of System can be established. Also, the requirement or desirability of automatically summoning the fire brigade is considered.

Interfaces with other building services and fire protection equipment are considered and noted. Depending upon site circumstances, the following options and features may be offered to you:

  • Sounder Delays
  • Detector Mode Switching
  • Staged Evacuation
  • Remote Control and Indicator Panels
  • Graphic Displays
  • Mimic Panels

The system is divided into Zones in accordance with the required standards. Detectors are positioned in accordance with the required standards, taking into account factors that might give rise to false alarms. The types of Fire Detectors (Optical, Ionisation, Carbon Monoxide, Heat, Multi Criteria, Optical Beam, Flame etc.) are defined as appropriate. Manual Call Points are positioned in accordance with the required standards, taking into account the travel distances and exits. Sufficient Sounders are included to reach the desired audibility, taking into account sound attenuation caused by doors etc.

The maximum time that the building is likely to be unmanned is ascertained in order to determine the standby period and battery capacity. Power Supply Calculations are carried out to ensure that the power supply unit can operate the system on full alarm load with or without the standby battery in circuit. Battery Capacities are calculated to give the required standby period plus an alarm period at the end of the standby period.

Loop Calculations are performed to determine the optimum size and maximum length of cable. Multi Alarm GB can perform a detailed Design Simulation to prove and demonstrate the cause-and-effect operations. This is particularly useful in complex designs. Multi Alarm GB make extensive use of Discovery SimSystem loop simulators and we are able to simulate large systems containing several networked Control Panels.

Blocks and Templates for fire alarm design to help you engineer fire alarm systems faster more uniform and more accurately.

Fire Alarm System Design software, free download 32-bit

Fire Alarm DWG has cad templates with blocks,attributed block,s and tables to help you design. From inserting devices faster, to help maintain proper coverage, and tables to do your battery calculations and voltage drops in all while keeping everyone one of your drawings familiar.

Fire alarm files are scaled 1=1 inches. We do not have a metric conversion at this time.
We have a user area for purchased file downloads.

What we have is a template file that is packed full of tools that I have created over the past 9+ years.
These are tools that I find useful and fast and accurate. From measurement during layout and design phase to quick block insertion to speed up the fire alarm design process.
Through the years I have built my templates with Autocad,BricsCad, and ProgeCad. Primary design element is AutoCad but have also gone back and made modifications to the design tools to make them compatible with the other brands of CAD.
I have been offered (like most of the other design tools on the web) to sell my product pre-bundled in one of the off brands of CAD.
I have been approached by all but one company. I approached them in my earlier phase and did not like what they were offering.
I've decided to keep my design tools separate and available for everyone and at an affordable cost.
I know that most bosses will not take the time to learn what these tools do, therefore they will not see the use in them.
So my price is to target the average guy who designs for fire alarm companies. Keeps the price at a fraction of the others and allows users to use the tools on which ever platform they already have and are most comfortable with.

If you would like any extra effort showing you how to use my tools that goes beyond the 'readme' form that is bundled with the template, you will have to contact through one of the follow up emails after purchasing a template. There will be a cost for any services I provide from that point forward.
The 'readme' file tells what commands to use for what function.
Any tools I make that I find are too cumbersome or too slow and not as efficient as my other tools, I have bundled in the link below and those are for free. Maybe I can influence people to clean up their designs.
