Twenty-two fire stations in Scotland have recently benefitted from C-TEC’s VdS-certified EN54-4 power supplies.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service called on Safe Services to install CSL DualCom fire units powered up by C-TEC’s bF360-24 power supplies to add remote monitoring to fire systems at its stations.
As a result of the remote monitoring, any faults are now reported to a 24-hour alarm-receiving centre to ensure additional protection at the sites located across the Scottish Borders, West and East Lothian.
Said Graeme Millar, Director at Safe Services, a Galashiels-based SP203-1 accredited company:
“As fire legislation in most European countries now states any power supply performing a mandatory function of a fire alarm system must comply with EN54-4/A2, C-TEC’s power supplies were the obvious choice for this project.”
C-TEC is a UK specialist of life-safety electronic systems including fire alarm control panels, detectors, call systems, disabled refuge systems, induction loop amplifiers and power supplies.
Mitsubishi Electric will host a CIBSE Journal webinar on Wednesday 24th April 2024 at 1pm to discuss the legislation and initiatives driving changes in the way we will need to heat, cool and ventilate large commercial buildings to reach net zero emissions in the UK.
