FireCell from EMS Fire & Security is reportedly the UK’s first fully certified EN54 Part 25-compliant wireless fire detection solution.
EN54 Part 25 provides CE marking for fire detection systems that use bi-directional radio links instead of electrical cabling to communicate. FireCell will link to over “500 tried and trusted” industry standard sensor units via “Smart Cluster” technology, creating up to 64 radio clusters, for “totally wireless communication and full building protection”.
The system comprises an industry standard control panel, linked to a radio hub and radio cluster communicators (RCCs) that act as bi-directional range extenders. Each control panel communicates with a single hub. This, in turn, manages up to 64 RCCs, each of which links to 31 devices across a building.
The use of diversity reception, multipath techniques, and multiple frequencies, ensure maximum coverage, while automatic changeover between frequencies.
eliminates radio interference. With no cabling required, installation time and cost are “dramatically reduced”.
