ADT Fire & Security has upgraded the fire detection system at Chapel Allerton Hospital, in the north of Leeds, from an analogue to a digital addressable system – with addressable smoke and heat multi-sensors, manual call points, addressable interface modules, and a PC-based emergency management system and digital repeater panels installed throughout the site.
The system includes audible and visual alarms to comply with BS5839 Part 1. ADT had installed the original fire detection system, later partially upgraded, at the hospital – which is known for its dedicated Orthopaedic Centre, specialist dermatology ward, and Department of Clinical Genetics, but, ‘as a result of technical progression’, the fire detection system at Chapel Allerton Hospital, in the north of Leeds, from an analogue to a digital addressable system – with addressable smoke and heat multi-sensors, manual call points, addressable interface modules, and a PC-based emergency management system and digital repeater panels installed throughout the site. The system includes audible and visual alarms to comply with BS5839 Part 1. ADT had installed the original fire detection system, later partially upgraded, at the hospital – which is known for its dedicated Orthopaedic Centre, specialist dermatology ward, and Department of Clinical Genetics, but, ‘as a result of technical progression’, the analogue technology had ‘become increasingly obsolete’. The company won the latest contract thanks to its site knowledge and experience, and, it says, ‘because the Tyco Zettler addressable fire alarm offered the best value solution, providing a faster, more advanced, fire alarm technology’.
The new ADT control panels are part of the latest digital-based Tyco Zettler Technology ‘system family’ that offers ‘greater functionality and advanced capacity’ in the number of field devices available on each loop, up from 100 to 250.
The new equipment replaced all the control equipment and all addressable devices. The triple technology detectors installed can detect smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide gas.
