Security systems supplier ADI-Gardiner has announced two deals which expand its portfolio of solutions. It has partnered with C-Tec to deliver technology to help its customers comply with legislation and standards related to refuge emergency situations. In addition it has an agreement with Argus Security to supply the Hyfire wireless fire detection system.
The C-Tec agreement is aimed to satisfy demand for refuge areas for people unable to easily use stairs or alternative escape routes. C-Tec’s SigTel Emergency Voice Communication system brings the two-way communication mechanism needed to help comply with these requirements.
The SigTel system has a networking facility with up to four master controllers (and slaves) which are interlinked to allow 64 line systems to be implemented. It has an auto learn facility which aids networking set up and meets requirements of BS 5839 part 9.
The Hyfire wireless fire detection system is distributed by Sterling Safety Systems in the UK. It is designed as a ‘non-invasive’ system suited to areas of high architectural sensitivity or where building access is restricted. It also uses the European security frequency of 868 MHz, which is designed to avoid interference from other radio controlled devices.
“The new 868 MHz frequency is a breakthrough for the security industry, as it enables a dedicated signal with no interference from other networks common in most buildings, such as WiFi, mobile telephones and remote locking car fobs. This drastically reduces the number of false alarms and disruption to business,” commented Peter Holmes.
Hyfire components are powered by standard lithium batteries, which also means that the size of components can be smaller than other systems traditionally requiring a bespoke power supply.
