Spanish term

Zonas sin detección (de incendios)

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture Suspended ceilings
¡Hola a todos! Hi everyone!

Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre análisis de riesgo en zonas sin detección de incendios. Se trata de un estudio para probar la viabilidad de la instalación de sistemas de detección de incendios.

El título del texto es "ESTUDIO DEL ANÁLISIS DE RIESGO EN ZONAS SIN DETECCIÓN EN FALSOS TECHOS", y aquí es donde tengo el problema. ¿Alguien podría sugerirme alguna traducción de "zonas sin detección"? Como he comentado, se refiere a zonas sin detección de incendios en sus falsos techos (suspended ceilings), es decir, zonas en las que no existe ningún sistema para prevenir el fuego, y no encuentro si aparece algún término en concreto en inglés para este hecho.

¡Muchas gracias de antemano!

Kind regards,

Antonio

unprotected areas

I imagine it is a fire detection AND prevention/suppression system? That is, when the detection system detects a fire, it acts to suppress it by closing fire doors to compartmentalise the fire, informing the fire dept., starting sprinklers, etc.

If that is the case I would simply call "zonas sin detección", "unprotected areas", or even something like "areas of zero coverage".

zones without detection; zones where detection is absent; zones without means of detection

Any of these would suffice. I do not think there is a specific technical term that we are looking for.
