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The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.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 PinCode Keypad is integrated into the System 3060 without wires and opens any component by radio when the correct 4 to 8-digit code is entered. With its transparent ring, this ultra-flat, flush-mounted keypad goes with any setting. The keypad is mounted near the door – inside, outside, and even on glass surfaces.
The keypad can be set in a special VdS shunt lock mode, enabling it to be used for the simple arming and disarming of an alarm system.
The PinCode Keypad has a dual-stage battery warning system, which announces the need to change the battery in good time. To protect against misuse, an acoustic alarm sounds for one minute if an incorrect PinCode is entered five times.
