IoT Makes Fire Detection Systems Smarter

A combination of cloud computing, sensors, and an IoT gateway provide valuable intelligence for firefighters before they get to an emergency.

Networked Fire Detection Control and Indicating Equipment

Prior to 2015 if AS 1670.1 talked about networks it meant the Telecommunications network, the Aspirated SD pipe network or the fire monitoring network.

Honeywell launches smart fire system, connecting emergency responders to fire data and digital building blueprint

Honeywell has launched the first tools from its new Connected Life Safety Services suite, an all-in-one cloud platform for fire safety systems.

Solutions for Effective Fire Detection in Large Open Spaces

The key for effective control of fires in Large Open Spaces (LOS) is to detect and manage them at the earliest possible stage.

Why VESDA? Leveraging Air Sampling Smoke Detection within Your Fire Alarm System

A VESDA “Aspirating Smoke Detector" alerts a facility’s fire safety system before an emergency unfolds, giving you time to evaluate and eliminate the potential hazard before it becomes a true safety issue.

Effective Response to a Fire - ASD Solution and Project examples

To continue the previous discussion around the code requirements and the latest standard for implementing effective response to a fire event. In this article, I will share some industry practices of the Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) systems solution to be used as Effective Response.

Wireless fire alarm standards explained

Fire Alarm standards in Australia for Wireless Systems have recently changed with AS1670.1:2018 no longer referencing AS4428.9, many of the older systems certified to this standard can no longer be used.

Network Topologies for Wireless Fire Alarms

Understanding the network topology of wireless systems is critical to designing and installing a reliable wireless fire alarm system.

Understanding Visual Alarm Devices- VADs

The introduction of AS 7240.23 was an important shift in the provision of Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) in Fire Detection and Alarm Systems (FDAS) in Australia.

Use Cases

5 Ways CLSS Can Make You and Your Buildings More Efficient

As a society, we are more connected than ever. Modern day technologies enable us to communicate, monitor, troubleshoot, diagnose, and more - even when we’re not physically together.

Advantages of integrating the Fire System with BMS

There are many reasons for integrating fire alarm systems with building automation and control systems including smoke control, unified access to building information, easier maintenance, sharing sensor data, location information of people during an emergency, and providing infrastructure for new technology to improve performance and safety.

Challenges for Fire Detection in Large Open Spaces

Large open space (LOS) areas are a key feature in commercial and public buildings that serve many diverse purposes.

Connectivity, Remote Access and the Fire Industry

Fire Alarms and Cloud connectivity? Not too long ago these were different worlds unheard of in the same sentence!

A “SWIFT” response to COVID-19 challenges

A Fire Alarm System’s purpose is to detect an occurrence, alert the control panel and proper authorities, and notify the occupants to take action.

Using Walk Test as efficient testing and fault-finding tool

Walk Test is a common function on most Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) providing a method to test fire alarm devices that saves time and requires fewer technicians on site.

Productivity, Efficiency, Compliance And Save Money! Why Not?

Every business looks to find avenues where they can increase productivity and efficiency and at the same time, save the much-needed cash reserves.

There many shortcuts I have learnt over the years some more useful than others.

How To's

How to Configure NEW VESDA Addressable Series Detectors

NOTIFIER has introduced a new range of Addressable VESDA Detectors that can occupy the loop next to our full range of Addressable detectors and Modules.

How to gather VESDA baseline data

Baseline data is the capturing of system design and performance requirements for fire detection and alarm systems. How to gather baseline data? Ideally at commissioning time, or when the pipes have been cleaned thoroughly.

How to Optimize Smoke Detection and Minimize Disruption in Large, Busy Buildings - Part 1

Large facilities with multiple rooms present various challenges to traditional fire detection, particularly when it comes to installation and maintenance.

How to Optimize Smoke Detection and Minimize Disruption in Large, Busy Buildings - Part 2

Switching to addressable aspirating smoke detection can help revolutionize how fire safety is managed and enhance safety.

Effective Response to a Fire - Code Requirements to Best Practice Part 1

When it comes to fire safety, knowledge of the location of a fire in a building is paramount to responding fire brigade services for effective search/rescue and targeted operation of the building’s fire safety systems.
