Fire alarm systems with automatic smoke detectors are installed in almost all areas of the university; sprinkler systems are also installed in some parts of the building.
Certain types of work involving the increased development of vapors, dusts, aerosols or higher temperatures can cause the automatic fire detectors to regard this as an alarm criterion and trigger a fire alarm.

Due to the detectors installed here, such false triggering should be ruled out as far as possible.
However, if there is any doubt as to whether the planned work could trigger an alarm, the detectors in the affected areas must be deactivated beforehand.
However, a strict standard must be applied here. Deactivation should only take place if it is absolutely necessary.

Information on the detectors installed here and the triggering criteria can be obtained from Department 5.26, which is responsible for the technical operation of the hazard alarm systems.

Tampering with smoke detectors or sprinkler nozzles is strictly prohibited!

Shutdowns are only carried out following a written request, which must be submitted by e-mail in good time before the planned shutdown period. Shutdowns "on demand" will not be carried out.

The fire protection specifications from the safety guide must be complied with.

Costs for fire department operations that arise due to missing or incorrect information and thus fire alarm systems that are not switched off will be charged to those responsible.
