EAC Fire & Security recently completed a fire alarm installation at a block of flats in Wareham.
The customer required a new wireless fire alarm system suitable for a multi-occupancy residential building, with detection fitted throughout the communal areas, electrical cupboards and individual flats.
Our team installed a new EN54 wireless Ajax fire alarm system, set up as a Grade A LD2 system for the property.
Wireless Ajax Fire Alarm System Installed
For this project, we installed a new EN54 wireless Ajax fire alarm control panel and associated wireless devices throughout the building.
Wireless fire alarm systems can be a practical option for blocks of flats, converted properties and buildings where running new cables throughout the site would be disruptive or difficult.
EAC Fire & Security installs professional fire alarm systems for residential blocks, commercial premises, communal buildings and managed properties.
Grade A LD2 Fire Alarm System for Flats
The system was installed as a Grade A LD2 fire alarm system, providing fire detection in key areas of the building.
As part of the installation, we fitted 8 wireless heat sounders, with one installed for each flat. This helps provide warning within each individual flat while also forming part of the wider fire alarm system for the building.
Smoke detectors and manual call points were also installed in the communal areas and electrical cupboards.
Wireless Heat Sounders, Smoke Detection and Call Points
The completed system included a combination of wireless heat sounders, smoke detectors and call points to provide suitable coverage throughout the property.
In blocks of flats, it is important that communal areas, service areas and electrical cupboards are properly considered as part of the fire alarm design.
The new system gives the building a modern fire alarm setup while reducing the need for extensive cabling throughout the property.
Wireless Signal Booster Installed
Due to the layout of the building, a wireless booster was also fitted to improve signal strength to devices positioned further away from the control panel.
This helps support reliable communication between the fire alarm control panel and the wireless detectors, sounders and call points across the site.
For larger buildings, blocks of flats and multi-level properties, signal strength is an important part of any wireless fire alarm installation.
