Category L5
These systems are for buildings with identified, specific risks that require special attention. For instance, an area with a high risk might warrant automatic detection, but a manual system is also needed. This combination is designated as L5/M.
Category L4
L4 systems provide detection within escape routes only. They are suitable for buildings where the emphasis is on alerting occupants to escape routes.
Category L3
L3 systems cover escape routes and all rooms leading onto them. The goal is to warn people of danger before corridors become smoke-logged, ensuring safe evacuation.
Category L2
L2 systems offer enhanced protection by covering all areas included in L3, as well as high-risk areas like boiler rooms. This category is suitable for buildings with specific fire risks.
Category L1
L1 provides comprehensive protection throughout the entire building. These systems are ideal for buildings where maximum safety is required.
