EAC Fire & Security recently completed a fire alarm upgrade at Yeatman Funeral Directors in Ashley Cross, Poole.
The existing EDA fire alarm system was removed and replaced with a new EN54 Ajax wireless fire alarm system, providing updated fire detection and alarm coverage throughout the building.
As a funeral directors premises with multiple rooms, corridors and public-facing areas, the customer required a reliable fire alarm setup with suitable coverage across the property.
Removal of the Existing EDA Fire Alarm System
As part of the upgrade, the existing EDA system was removed and replaced with a modern wireless fire alarm solution.
Older fire alarm systems can become harder to maintain over time, especially if replacement parts, detectors or system support become more limited. Upgrading the system helps improve reliability and makes future servicing more straightforward.
EAC Fire & Security provides professional fire alarm installation and fire alarm upgrades for commercial premises, offices, shops, funeral directors, schools and residential buildings.
New EN54 Ajax Wireless Fire Alarm Control Panel
For this project, we installed a new EN54 Ajax wireless control panel as the main fire alarm system control unit.
The new wireless setup reduced the need for extensive cabling around the building while still allowing the property to have smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual call points and visual/audio alarm devices fitted in the required areas.
Wireless fire alarm systems can be a practical option for existing buildings where running new cables may be disruptive, difficult or time-consuming.
Smoke Detectors, Heat Detectors and Call Points Installed
As part of the new system, EAC Fire & Security installed a range of fire alarm devices throughout the property, including smoke detectors, heat detectors and manual call points.
Smoke detection was fitted in suitable areas to provide early warning in the event of a fire. Heat detection was used where appropriate, and call points were installed to allow the alarm to be raised manually in an emergency.
Visual and audio alarm devices were also fitted throughout the building to help alert people on site if the system activates.
Category L1 Fire Alarm System Coverage
The upgraded fire alarm system was installed as a Category L1 fire alarm system, providing comprehensive fire detection coverage throughout the premises.
Category L1 fire alarm systems are commonly used where a high level of automatic fire detection is required across a building. This helps provide early warning and supports safer evacuation if the alarm is triggered.
For businesses and public-facing premises, having the correct fire alarm coverage in place is important for staff, visitors and anyone using the building.
