Can a Fire Shutter be integrated with a Fire Alarm System?
Yes. A fire shutter can be fully integrated with a building’s fire alarm or fire detection system so that it closes automatically when a fire signal is received.
Fire shutters are typically supplied with an interface panel or relay module that links the shutter controls to the main fire alarm control panel or to local smoke/heat detectors. When the alarm activates, the signal triggers a controlled descent of the shutter, creating a fire-resistant barrier for the period it is rated for. The system design usually also includes battery back‑up or gravity fail-safe operation so that the shutter will still close in the event of a power failure, and the method of activation and any delays should be agreed as part of the building’s overall fire strategy and risk assessment.
