More Online: SDM February, Page 84
Silent Knight by Honeywell, Northford, Conn., announced its IntelliKnight 5820XLfire alarm system was chosen by the nation’s sixth largest public transportation system, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), to protect an expansive maintenance facility. The ease of use, longevity and cost-effective qualities of Silent Knight’s non-proprietary systems led SEPTA to standardize on this technology for use in dozens of its other facilities.
Two main hubs for servicing SEPTA’s 1,545 buses, 159 rail trolleys and 38 trackless trolleys, the Callowhill and Frankford Depot facilities required a large-capacity, code-compliant fire alarm with the sophistication to control various ancillary systems — all within tight budgetary parameters.
