Similarly, in buildings with particularly thick floors and walls or an unusual layout, installation costs can again be significantly increased. In such situations, radio communications between the detectors, call points and panel will reduce the implementation cost of the fire system. System Sensor's new radio capability consists of a stand alone radio based system and extension to the traditional Series 200 plus wired system. The addressable system consists of a gateway module that extends the wired system on the loop, by translating the radio detectors address into a wired equivalent. Up to 98 radio call points and 99 radio detectors can be addressed through each module, each detector being seen as a unique address by the panel. The unit's range is 300m in free air, automatic frequency and channel changing through channel monitoring guarantees robust communications between the module and devices. The stand-alone control panel controls up to 32 detectors or call points in two fire zones. Both the addressable and conventional units sequentially interrogate each radio detector and radio call point every 90 seconds. The radio detector is approved to EN54 part 7. It consists of a fixed sensitivity optical chamber, and two 57°C fixed temperature detectors; all three detectors operate independently of each other, the device signals an alarm condition when any one detector goes into alarm. Two types of call point are available: a dual-action German style call point or European style KAC call point. *** Ends: body copy 266 words *** Notes to Editors For further information: Stuart Ball System Sensor Europe 15 - 19 Trescott Road Trafford Park Smallwood Redditch B98 7AH Tel: + 44 1527 406700 Fax: + 44 1527 406699 sse.sales@systemsensor.com www.systemsensoreurope.com Agency contact: Nigel May Parkfield Communications Limited Parkfield House Damerham Hants SP6 3HQ tel: + 44 (0)1725 518321 fax: + 44 (0)1725 518378 nigel.may@parkfield.co.uk www.parkfield.co.uk System Sensor Europe is the world's largest manufacturer of fire detectors for use in conventional and addressable fire detection systems.
