SecuriFire fire alarm panel

Can a fire detection system continue to operate without a hitch even when it has been affected by multiple faults? With the new SecuriFire, all the hardware and software components, from the microprocessor to the cable lines and the operating system, are duplicated by the redundant design. This means an autonomous secondary system in hot standby mode operates alongside the active system at all times. So if the active system fails, the secondary system takes over full operations – seamlessly. That in turn guarantees maximum availability.

SecuriFire is not just reliable in operation with its modular, decentralised system architecture, it is also versatile. Up to 16 control units can be combined into an overall system without using a superordinate computer. The control units themselves, which may be located on different floors, are connected using the redundant SecuriLan. Instead of a multitude of cable lines leading to a mainframe, all that is needed here is a powerful loop. And with the new SpiderNet technology the control units can even be networked among themselves. Over a maximum distance of 3500 metres, these loops act as a reliable data highway for up to 250 loop participants, such as signalling, alarming, display and control units.
