WIRELESS SMOKE DETECTION

There are many environments where it’s difficult to install cabling to fire detection and alarm devices. For these areas, radio/wireless detection systems are ideal.

A heritage site is an example of where this type of detection can be used. Here, cabling would damage the building fabric or spoil the appearance of the site. Other examples are external plant rooms and areas that are difficult to access, where the high cost of running cabling is likely to be a major issue. And wireless systems are also suitable for temporary systems.

At Senseco Systems we work with leading manufacturers, which means we can offer you a range of products and systems as described on the next page.

 

Some systems are wireless only, whereby panels communicate with each other wirelessly. Plus, all field devices including detectors, manual call points and sounders are wireless.

Another option is a “hybrid” system, which features panels with hard wired loops. This type of system can have standard devices and radio gateway modules on the loops. The radio gateway module will then “talk” to the wireless devices.

Many modern wireless systems use “mesh” technology, whereby each wireless device also acts as a radio booster and alternative signal path, providing greater resilience and reliability.

Somerset House

Somerset House is a heritage property dating back to 1547 in the heart of London. Although it is well known for it’s outdoor skating rink at Christmas and open air concerts in the summer, it has many other uses and accommodates many other tenants. It hosts the UK’s largest creative community working globally across art, technology, business and social enterprise.

The South Wing of Somerset House had a mix of hard wired fire detection system, an obsolete radio / wireless fire detection system and many aspiration systems, most no longeroperational. The project was to replace all of the systems in the South Wing with a single fire detection system for all areas and provide graphical representation of this wing and two other wings with legacy systems on a single graphics platform.

This was all to be carried out within a listed building with mixed use and different tenants with minimal disruption to day to day operations.

Castle Mall

Located in the centre of Norwich City, Castle Mall shopping centre comprises of 60 stores and food outlets, across five levels of retail and leisure, including an 8-screen Vue cinema. The centre also boasts a 790 space multi-storey car park.

The fire detection and alarm system installed in the shopping centre was a Honeywell FC90 system, which was closed protocol and had reached the end of its working life. A replacement system was therefore needed to provide a modern supportable system for the shopping centre.

This is a working shopping centre so minimal disruption to the operation of the shopping centre, retailers and shoppers was of paramount importance.
