Abstract

The aim of this paper was to draw attention to the proposal that three kinds of fire detection system's intelligence could be defined. A reasonable distribution of intelligence functions to different hardware components can be useful. The value of such a distribution increases when higher demands are made on the overall intelligence. Economic factors may favour such distribution, but it is justified only if the reliability of the entire system is thereby increased, or at least not impaired.
