From touchscreen displays to mobile setup and cloud, the aim of the latest fire alarm panel technology is to make them easier to install, program and use.
Today’s security and life safety technologies are heavily influenced by the technology advancements and conveniences end users have come to expect in their daily lives.
A number of high-value, high-security facilities across the country have implemented Silent Knight’s FAAST (Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology) aspiration detector from System Sensor to provide highly accurate, early-warning smoke detection.
Addressable fire alarm systems would appear to be tailor-made for the K-12 educational market — and many schools already have adopted the technology, simplifying maintenance and providing more detailed information in the event that the local fire department must be called in. Yet, budget issues have prevented some schools from installing addressable fire systems and have prevented some schools with older addressable systems from obtaining the latest generation of the fire alarm technology.
Although I spent part of my career in the fire alarm industry, I was never really impressed with the types of technologies available in fire control panels. After the advent of point-addressing and remote detector diagnostics, it seemed that fire panel innovations had slowed sometime in the mid-1990s. As IP continues its march into the technologies of our industry, it was only a matter of time before fire alarm control panels would harness the power of networks for the good of both installation companies and their clients.
The Cancer Treatment Centers of America hospital in Phoenix, needed highly accurate, very early warning fire detection to protect its mission critical patient data and systems from smoke and fire. They chose the FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology® from System Sensor.
