Our Advanced Fire Alarm System Options
Voice Evacuation/Mass Notification
In an emergency, clear communication can make all the difference. That’s why voice evacuation and mass notification systems have become essential tools for modern fire safety. These advanced systems provide precise instructions, guiding occupants safely through chaotic situations and reducing confusion.
Voice evacuation systems offer zone-specific messaging, ensuring large spaces like warehouses or office buildings receive tailored escape instructions. They integrate seamlessly with existing security systems, enhancing overall safety without compatibility concerns.
Linear Heat Detection
Linear heat detection uses a wire or cable instead of a thermostat to identify heat occurring in the event of a fire. Linear heat detection systems, like Protectowire, offer a continuous run of heat-sensitive cable designed to detect fires in challenging environments. These cables are ideal for areas where traditional fire detection methods are impractical, such as hazardous locations, harsh conditions, or spaces requiring close-proximity detection.
How It Works
Linear heat cables use advanced polymers and zinc-coated steel conductors to detect heat along their entire length. When exposed to heat above a fixed temperature, the conductors make contact, triggering an alarm or suppression system. For added precision, Protectowire’s CTM-530 modules pinpoint the exact location and temperature of activation, while patented Confirmed Temperature Initiation (CTI) technology minimizes false alarms by verifying thermal activation before signaling an alert.
Applications and Benefits
- Reliable performance in demanding environments like cold storage, outdoor areas, and hazardous zones.
- Multiple cable coatings, including UV- and chemical-resistant options, to suit diverse applications.
- Fiber optic options provide continuous temperature monitoring and are restorable up to 235°F.
- Seamless integration with Fike fire alarm panels for enhanced system functionality.
- Easy installation, low maintenance, and maximum hazard coverage.
With unmatched flexibility and advanced technology, linear heat detection systems provide economical and comprehensive fire protection for businesses across New England.
