Detect the fire when it is about to start
With a broad portfolio of fire detection components, we can offer a tailored solution consisting of exactly the detectors and associated extinguishing measures that are optimally suited to the industry and company in question.
The detectors are positioned at the critical points in production facilities, storage facilities and production lines, so that the system provides maximum safety for employees, raw materials, equipment and end products.
With fire detection from Nextech you get:
- Reliable detection of all kinds of critical temperature and smoke developments
- Immediate, automatic alarm and/or initiation of countermeasures in hazardous situations
- Quick access to data for the relevant detector in case of alarm
- Complete overview of all detectors – and their data – in a single control system
- Access to data over time, so critical developments or problem areas can be easily identified
- Option of centralised or decentralised system administration
- Ability to connect detectors of different types and from different manufacturers in a single system
A fire detection system consists of three core functions:
1. Installation and configuration
The selected detectors are installed and configured in a single control system. Administration can be carried out either from a central location in the company or decentralised from control units in the company’s departments.
The control consoles can be positioned at relevant locations close to e.g. production plants and storage facilities, and the system’s multi-touch display makes it possible to retrieve data and enter commands into the system easily and quickly.
It is also possible to download operating instructions through the control consoles, so that they are always easily accessible to employees.
2. Monitoring
Each detector monitors the condition of the area in question and automatically triggers an alarm or warns in case of acute temperature rises, gradual critical temperature rises or smoke development.
3. Alarms/countermeasures
If a fire detector detects an acute situation or critical development, the detector automatically triggers an alarm. In some systems, the detector can also automatically initiate extinguishing or other countermeasures to limit the extent of the fire.
Alarm data is sent to the control system, where company staff can quickly see the type and cause of the alarm and initiate shutdown, alarm action, etc.
Via the control console, staff can also see data on the system trends over time – for example, the frequency of alarms or an overview of areas with many alarms – and thereby decide on any measures that can be taken to reduce the fire risk at the locations in question.
