Quality fire solutions

February 2016 Fire & Safety, Products & Solutions

The modern approach to fire detection has become an increasingly complex process with more choices on offer to both installers and end-users. From the choice between conventional, addressable panels or aspiration smoke detection, the variations can have a significant impact on the level of protection afforded to fire detection applications.

In recent times, the fire detection market has steadily evolved to meet the needs and expectations of end-users. With the development of architectural design, it has become more difficult for traditional fire detection methods to quickly and accurately detect a fire. For example, open spaces pose a challenge when monitoring the entire interior with existing models and products. The technology has therefore had to adapt to ensure that modern buildings are adequately protected from fire risk.

Comprising a comprehensive range of fully approved quality products designed and manufactured in Europe, FireClass is the latest fire detection technology packaged as an easy to install, out-of-the-box, digital open-protocol solution. Designed and engineered in Europe, FireClass technology is part of Tyco International.

Tyco has been specialising in fire detection control equipment for the last 50 years. It is backed by expert engineers and designers who have been developing fire detection solutions for a wide range of environments, from simple conventional systems to complex integrated systems for hazardous industrial installations.

The FireClass range of equipment distributed by Elvey includes conventional, addressable and gas extinguishing control panels with a suite of ancillaries including detectors, sounders and call points.
