Wireless / Radio Fire Alarms
Wireless / Radio fire alarm systems provide a fire detection solution using secure wireless connections between the field devices and the control panels. Based on proven technology, these systems comprise wireless sensors, sounders, beacons and manual call points and offer unique advantages when compared to the installation of wired systems:
On a full wireless installation this requires only limited cabling, with a greatly reduced installation time, they are ideal for time-limited applications, But with most things that does come at a extra cost.
Because wireless devices only have to be fixed to the building, there is no need to run fire resistant cable, trunking, conduit or concealed cables, saving in both materials and labour. The lack of cables also means that there is minimal damage to the fabric of the building, which can be especially important in heritage sites or prestigious areas.
There is also the option to add just some parts of the fire alarm system in wireless tecknology, this can reduse the cost of the installation.
