Fire alarms
Fire is a major problem
in both domestic and commercial properties.
In the 12 months to March 2003, there were 64,400 fires
in dwellings, 574 deaths and 13,200 injuries. It is
vital that we all take the necessary precautions such
as installing smoke detectors to help reduce these figures
but most importantly to save lives!
We are specialist in the supply, installation &
maintenance for all types of Fire, Safety & Security
systems. We provide a "one stop shop service"
for all your fire, security and safety requirements
reducing time and costs involved with using different
companies for various systems & applications.
Convention & Addressable
Fire Alarm Systems
Fire Alarm Systems fall broadly in to two groups -
Conventional Systems or Analogue Addressable Systems.
Conventional fire alarm
From small shops & offices to medium sized buildings,
conventional fire alarm systems are a cost effective
way to ensure you have a means of detecting & waning
of fire. Numerous detectors can be installed on zones,
when a detector is triggered the fire alarm control
panel will indicate which zone has been triggered, giving
you or the fire brigade an indication of the area of
activation.
We can connect conventional fire alarm systems with
other fire alarm panels on your site or install communicators
which are monitored by our Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC) ensuring a rapid response
from the emergency services
Addressable Systems
This type of fire system is state of the art &
is highly intelligent. If a detector is triggered it
give a text read out of exactly where this unit is e.g.
“smoke detector 17 managers office”. The
main advantage of this system is for large buildings
where a detector on a conventional zone may take some
time to find. Some examples of where addressable systems
are used are:
Hotels & Hospitals, large factories & warehouses,
schools & colleges, nursing homes, complex offices
& multifunctional buildings. As well as giving an
exact point of trigger various other options are available
including:
Sounders on the same circuit, cause & effect programming,
intelligent control of other equipment, phased evacuation.
Remote Monitoring
Having the right fire alarm in place is your 1st priority,
but great consideration should be given to the response
of an alarm out of working hours. For a small fee we
can connect your fire alarm system to the renowned BT
RedCARE networking, this will ensure that the Fire
Brigade or a 3rd party is contacted at all times helping
prevent a catastrophe happening when your building is
empty.
