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The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.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.
A networked system gives the advantages of central control, event reporting and flexible control over users’ access. Each control unit is part of a network but can run independently making its own decisions and remembering events.
The Net2 nano control unit connects to the central administration PC using Paxton Access’ proprietary and secure wireless technology.
Net2 nano control units can be mixed with Net2 classic and Net2 plus control units and can be added to existing Net2 installations. This extremely beneficial for areas where wiring is difficult.
The Net2 nano cannot be mounted in a metal box because of its use of wireless technology.
Net2 nano should be used with Net2 software.
Key Features
Uses data encrypted wireless technology
No wiring needed between the control unit and PC
Diagnostic LEDs
Colour coded wiring labels
Net2 nano, Net2 plus and Net2 classic control units can be mixed on a site
