VigInSite

As a Gent 24 Approved Systems Integrator, CDS Security & Fire are able to utilise VigInSite, a powerful software based tool that can be used to quickly identify the age of the various components of a fire detection system. An industry first, VigInSite helps ensure that safety levels are maximised, while allowing end users to actively schedule and budget for maintenance activities.

VigInSite has been developed in direct response to the Fire Industry Association’s (FIA) 2014 Guidance on the Life Expectancy of Fire Detection and Alarm Systems document. It warned that poorly maintained life safety systems that produce regular unwanted alarms can engender a sense of complacency amongst those who they are designed to protect. It also suggested that equipment manufacturers are in the best position to advise on the expected lifetime of the equipment they produce.

As a Gent 24 Approved Systems Integrator, CDS Security & Fire engineers can simply plug VigInSite directly into a Vigilon control panel, at which point its advanced software identifies the age of each device. After this process is completed, it formulates an inventory and uses a traffic light system to provide an instant visual guide as to what action should be taken;

GREEN denotes products that are well within their operational lifetime
AMBER indicates that replacement is imminent
RED signifies that remedial action should be taken within reasonable timescales.

CDS Security & Fire can send you a copy of the document along with any suggested recommendations.
