The manual alarm system, which consists of break glass units and alarm sounders connected to a control panel, can only be operated and the alarm raised, when activated by an individual having detected a fire incident. The automatic system which consists of smoke and heat detectors, in addition to break glass units and alarm sounders connected to a control panel, is designed to raise the alarm whether or not personnel are present at the time, thus giving an early warning of a fire incident.

• The full design criteria for fire alarm and detection systems is laid down in BS5839: Part 1: 1988 which includes spacing requirements for various types of detectors and alarms.
