Conventional fire alarm systems have been around for many years. Conventional detection offers a good basic system, ideal for small applications.

The panel may employ a graphical representation of the zone boundaries on a floor plan (zone map) using textual descriptions, illuminated icons, illuminated sections, or illuminated points on the map corresponding to initiating circuits connected to the fire alarm control panel.
