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The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.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 DX series integrated PIR and microwave technology provides stable and reliable detection in hostile environments. The Quad Zone Logic and Microwave Area Shaping incorporated in the DX series offers unparalleled sensing performance.
Key Features
Quad Zone Logic
Microwave Area Shaping
Spherical Lens Design
Quad Zone Logic
Quad Zone Logic provides multi-segmented detection zones throughout the detection area. An alarm signal is created by the cumulated total IR energy of each zone. It is designed to provide 4 to 8 zones for a human-sized object to create sharp and maximum signals for stable detection. Spot temperature changes, i.e. by rodents or curtains etc., may affect only one or two zones at the same time creating a smaller detection signal. These signals are further analysed by the “ECO” Chip and signal processing circuit for accurate detection and filtering out of false alarms.
Microwave Area Shaping
Prevents the unwanted detection of movement outside the coverage area.
Spherical Lens
Obtains an accurate focal length for each detection zone and maximises the performance of Quad Zone Logic.
