The overall cost of wiring in addressable fire alarm system is significantly cheaper than the conventional one. Why is it so?

Yes, The overall cost of wiring in addressable fire alarm system is significantly cheaper than the conventional one.But the addressale fire alram system is more reliable than a conventional system.

Explanation:

Conventional systems are hardware-based and use analog technology. where addressable fire alarm use digital technology. addressable system is generally more reliable than a conventional system mainly due to how the different systems are wired. With a conventional system, if a device’s wire is damaged or severed, its signal and the signal of other devices down the line cannot be transmitted to the control panel.

With an addressable system, both ends of the wire connect to the control panel. Therefore, if one end becomes damaged or severed, signals can still reach the control panel through the other end of the loop. In addressable systems, a device can be removed or disabled and it will not affect the other devices in the loop.
