Fire Detection System (FDS)
Reliable fire detection for the protection of people, property and business continuity. Schrack Seconet Fire Detection Systems provide early fire detection, reliable event evaluation and coordinated activation of fire safety measures throughout the building. Integral EvoxX and Integral CUBUS platforms enable seamless integration with Voice Alarm Systems (VAS), automatic fire suppression systems, fire technology monitoring, Building Management Systems (BMS) and other safety technologies.
What is FDS?
Early Fire Detection and Immediate Response
A Fire Detection System (FDS) is designed to detect a developing fire at the earliest possible stage and immediately alert occupants within the building.
Its primary purpose is to ensure a rapid response to potential fire hazards, minimise damage to property and, above all, protect human life.

How FDS Works
From Fire Detection to the Activation of Safety Measures
The Fire Detection System continuously monitors protected areas, evaluates incoming signals and automatically initiates the required fire safety procedures in the event of a fire.
Fire Detection
Fire detectors respond to smoke, heat, flames or other signs of fire.
Event Evaluation
The FDS control panel processes the signal, identifies the location of the incident and activates the predefined response scenario.
Alarm Notification
The system activates audible and visual alarms to warn building occupants.
Occupant Evacuation
The FDS can work together with the Voice Alarm System (VAS) to support safe and controlled evacuation.
System Activation
The system can activate smoke extraction, fire suppression systems, emergency exit door release and alarm transmission to designated monitoring centres.
System Components
Key Components of a Fire Detection System
A modern Fire Detection System consists of multiple interconnected devices that provide reliable fire detection and the automatic activation of fire safety measures.
Fire Detectors
Automatic fire detectors respond to smoke, heat or flames. The system incorporates MTD 533X multi-sensor detectors, CMD 533X detectors, LKM 593X duct smoke detectors and specialised detectors for demanding environments.
Manual Call Points
Manual call points allow occupants to raise a fire alarm immediately. The system supports addressable MCP 535 and MCP 545 manual call points.
Fire Alarm Control Panel
Integral EvoxX and Integral CUBUS control panels manage event evaluation, device supervision and communication with other building systems.
Alarm Devices
Audible and visual alarm devices provide immediate warning of fire and other emergency situations.
Communication Modules
The system uses BA SOL, BA IOM, BA IM4, BA OI3, BA FOL, BX AIM and other interface modules to integrate with additional technologies.
Integration Interfaces
Enable seamless integration of the Fire Detection System with Voice Alarm Systems (VAS), fire suppression systems and other building technologies.
