Fire
detection and alarm systems are designed to provide
warning of a fire outbreak and allow for appropriate
fire fighting action to be taken before the situation
gets out of control, resulting in serious damage
to property and possible loss of lives. This is
why it is vital to have a properly maintained
and fully functional system because you have a
lot of capital invested in your fire system that
is wasted money if it did not work. The Fire Precautions
(workplace) regulations require a system of maintenance
and failure to keep a Fire detection and Alarm
system in good working order is a Criminal Offence.

Non
Addressable System
Non Addressable systems (previously known as Conventional)
are more suited to smaller buildings. The fire
control panel will indicate a fire by illuminating
an led to the relevant
zone. A zone will have a grouping of detectors
which would have to be individually checked to
identify which detector is in alarm state. This
is a cost effective solution for a smaller building.
Analogue Addressable systems are more advanced
and offer the exact location of a fire by a detector
having it’s own number. The panel offers text
description of location and type of detector in
fire or fault. Unwanted alarms are greatly reduced
as the panel will indicate if a detector is contaminated
and will compensate instead of going into alarm
like a non---addressable system would. Each detector
is constantly tested by the control panel. Sensitivity
levels of detectors can be adjusted for day and
night. Fully programmable and we can offer remote
dialling so an Engineer can look at your system
from our base.
Wire Free is an Analogue Addressable system
which offers all the benefits of a hard wired
system but also has the addition
of:
Each detector can be installed in less than
10 minutes,
The fabric of the building is protected and
undamaged,
No cables,
The system can easily be moved or upgraded as
building use changes.
All systems can be connected to an Alarm Receiving
Centre to connect you straight to the Fire Brigade
The only way you can be confident that your system will
work in the event of a fire is if a professional company
using properly trained and qualified engineers regularly
services it. Our Engineers are BFPSA trained and have
an excellent knowledge of the updated code of practice
which is BS5839-part 1 2002(previously 1988). The new
code of practice states any person who designs, installs
and maintains Fire Detection and Alarm systems must
be able to prove their competence. BFPSA training courses
are a recognised form of proof.

Redcare Monitoring
Systems can be connected to an alarm receiving centre
and additionally to a redcare monitered system which
monitors the system even in the event of line failure
offering complete peace of mind.
