Fire detection goes wireless

Wireless technology allows systems to be installed faster with less disruption, minimal impact on the building’s fabric, and less need for complex cabling. Technoswitch has added two world-class wireless fire detection ranges to its portfolio.

Taurus by Hyfire is a fully wireless offering that can easily answer the needs of both small, medium and large sites. It handles up to 128 devices per wireless translator and 240 per loop, with a 10-year battery life on input and five years on output devices. The Taurus wireless fire system delivers unprecedented system reliability and performance using SafePath Mesh Expander Technology. If any expander in the chain fails, the transmission path uses an alternate route, ensuring communication continuity.

Apollo’s REACH hybrid-wireless fire alarm solution delivers flexible solutions for buildings, temporary structures and high-rise residential apartments, extending detection without compromising the level of protection from fire.

REACH allows an existing Apollo protocol fire system to be extended by bridging wireless devices to the wired loop, using the REACH Loop Interface. Technoswitch works closely with our clients to ensure an extensive site survey specifies the best wireless solution for a specific application.
