In the hotel, the user sleeps and does not recognize the building. These two facts determine the entire design: detection must be early, warning must be evocative, and direction must be clear.
Fire risks in this environment
- User sleeping and unfamiliar with the building
- Fire caused by in-room cigarettes/electrical appliances
- The impact of false alarm on guest satisfaction
- Kitchen and laundry fire load
- Smoke spread in floor corridors
Regulations and standards
Fire detection and audible warning are mandatory in accommodation facilities within the scope of BYKHY. Minimum 75 dBA sound level should be provided at the bedside in sleeping places; voice evacuation components should be EN 54-16/24.

Related products →Typical system architecture
Each room is protected by an addressable multisensor detector; the corridors have an optical detector and a notification button. It works in integration with the fire panel voice announcement system, and a floor-based evacuation scenario is defined. Siren/speaker placement is made by calculating the bedside sound level in sleeping areas.
Common field mistakes
- Not calculating the bedside sound level in the room
- Producing false alarms with a single sensor detector in rooms
- Not carrying the hallway announcement to the rooms
- Skipping the hood extinguishing in the kitchen
Frequently Asked Questions
Which detector should be in the hotel room?
Addressable multi-sensor (smoke+heat) detector is preferred; it protects early detection while lowering the false alarm.
What should be the sound level in the sleeping area?
A minimum of 75 dBA must be provided at the bedside; in addition, the ambient noise must be above at least 5 dBA.
