Fire Safety in High-rise buildings.
If you are responsible for Fire safety or are a resident of a high-rise, multi-occupancy property you will be only too aware of the increased awareness of the need for enhanced fire detection and evacuation processes.
The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.
Many properties have deployed a waking watch service; this is a fire protection service and involves marshals patrolling to lookout for potential signs of a fire. They are also responsible for raising the alarm.
These services are costing property owners and residents thousands of pounds. A Waking Watch service can be replaced by a wireless Fire Detection System. This meets all the required standards and is quickly and easily installed. The total one-off cost of a Fire Detection System can be less than 10 weeks of a Waking Watch service.
The PAC 512 can control all aspects of two secure doors, with up to two card readers installed as entry and exit readers on each door. This enables the PAC 512 to support a door strike to lock and unlock a door and a door contact to detect the door positions.
A programmed auxiliary input is put on each door which can be used for alarm system integration, and an auxiliary output that enables a buzzer or strobe when security is breached or a door is left open. Each PAC 512 controller has a tamper input, this enables monitoring of cabinet doors, and an override input that can release both doors.
The PAC 512 can be used standalone with optional IP connectivity or as part of a system controlled by the PAC 500.
