Methods, devices, and systems for an unmanned system (US) for safety device testing are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to capture, using an imaging device of the US, an image of a safety device, determine information corresponding to the safety device based on the image, communicate the determined information to a fire system network, receive, from the fire system network, a test procedure associated with the safety device, perform the test procedure on the safety device, and communicate a result of the test procedure to the fire system network.

A computer assisted facility monitoring method provides users with predefined operating procedures that are recommended for addressing one or more alarms acknowledged by the user. The predefined operating procedures are created and stored prior to the occurrence of the alarms. In some examples, after acknowledging an alarm occurrence, the user may be provided with an option for bypassing or disregarding the alarm, as some such acknowledgements may have been for false alarms. In some examples, the predefined operating procedure may specify multiple action steps for addressing an alarm. In such examples, the user can close out or settle an alarm incident even without completing all of the action steps, provided the user enters a valid reason for doing so. In some examples, a user can batch-select a group of alarms, wherein perhaps only some of the acknowledged alarms in the group have corresponding predefined operating procedures.

Various embodiments include a fire detection system (FDS) device and methods for operating an FDS device to detect a potential fire and communicate information regarding fire detection events to a central fire detection system via a wireless communication network. Various embodiments include receiving information from one or more sensors configured to detect an indication of a possible fire, determining whether information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, generating a fire warning message comprising a fire alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, and sending the generated fire warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

The present disclosure relates to aspirating smoke detectors (ASD). In an ASD, ambient air is aspirated and is fed to a fire detector unit for determining a signal level. For normal operation, the suction power is set to a nominal airflow value and this is increased from a minimum signal level value in order to shorten the transport time of aspirated smoke through the suction pipe to the fire detector unit. In some embodiments, an interruption signal provided for normal operation is output if the airflow exceeds an upper limit value for a minimum period. Independently thereof, the suction power is increased from the minimum signal level value only to the extent that the airflow does not exceed the upper limit value. Or, regardless thereof, the suction power is increased only for a timespan smaller than the minimum period in which the airflow exceeds the upper limit value.

Devices, systems, and methods for aspirating smoke detector packaging are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a package for an aspirating smoke detector device, comprising a plurality of panels, wherein a first panel includes a mounting template having a plurality of mounting indicators, wherein each of the plurality of mounting indicators corresponds to a respective mounting location of the aspirating smoke detector device, and a second panel includes a head protector configured to be removed from the package and inserted into a slot of the aspirating smoke detector device.

Methods, devices, and systems for adjusting for air flow temperature changes in an aspirating smoke detector are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a blower configured to cause air to flow through the aspirating smoke detector, and a controller configured to determine a temperature of the air flowing through the aspirating smoke detector has changed by a particular amount and adjust a speed of the blower in response to compensate the air flowing through the aspirating smoke detector that has changed by the particular amount.
