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The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.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 Proximity Marine reader is perfect for the most demanding environments, designed to be stylish as well as practical. The reader is low profile and has inner and outer circles of light. This lighting arrangement is attractive and gives excellent visibility. Proximity Readers read a token when the token is held within close proximity.
When the token has been read, the controller looks up all the access permissions of that user and either grant or denies access. The green LED flashes if access is granted, and the red if access is denied. At other times the reader is surrounded by a constant blue light. The blue light may be switched off or its intensity varied by presenting the supplied backlight dimming card.
