Fire detection
April 1st 2007 A fully networked fire detection and alarm system has been developed and installed for Network Rail, providing centralised control of fire monitoring at Edinburgh Waverley station, as part of a major enhancement programme. More than 500 Hochiki detection devices have been integrated into the system by specialist contractor, Dante Fire & Security, and the system comprises four main panels from Advanced Electronics. Central to the network's system design is the flexibility to accommodate cause-and-effect scenarios within complex fire strategies. For such a demanding project, system reliability and integrity are of paramount concern. The quality assured, interference-free performance of Hochiki's ESP range detectors is just one aspect of the efficient functionality demanded of the installation by the Network Rail specifiers. Dante highlights the ease with which Hochiki's addressable sensing devices can be sub-addressed as a particular benefit during system configuration. More articles from Hochiki Europe (UK) Ltd: |
