Fire Essentials: Multiplexing, Distributed Intelligence, Peer-to-peer Panels
When it comes to extensive remodeling and expansion of facilities, more often today safety and security buyers scrap their current fire system in exchange for multiplexed systems with distributed intelligence, thanks to peer-to-peer panels and self-diagnostic capabilities.
One example is the MXLV fire detection system with FirePrint application-specific, intelligent smoke detectors, both from Siemens Fire Safety of Florham Park, N.J. Uniquely, the detectors program to match the specific background environment where each is located. This makes them less sensitive to ambient influences while continuing to react quickly to real fire emergencies.
