Our Fire detection & alarms
Fire alarm systems are one of the best investments your business can make to ensure it is protected from fire. Having the best fire protection in place is essential to protect staff and property, and to reduce the potentially devastating impact of a fire.
CDS Security & Fire are fully accredited to BAFE SP203 (British Approvals for Fire Engineers) and the FIA (Fire Industry Authority), all systems are fully designed, installed, commissioned and maintained to BS 5839. A Certificate of Competence is issued, aiding your compliance with the RRFSO (Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order).
It is vital that the quality of fire protection ensures “fit for purpose” and is installed and maintained by “competent persons”. Choosing fire protection from a BAFE Registered Firm ensures that its products and services conform to recognised standards. Where relevant an independent third party certificate of conformance is issued that can be used as part of a statutory defence in law, should the necessity arise.
Our BAFE and FIA accreditations ensure the quality and competence of our designers, engineers and administration to help meet your fire safety obligations and prove you are using a “competent” contractor.
Carefully matching technology to application, CDS Security & Fire offer a full range of detection, alarm, aspirating/VESDA Systems, beam detection, extinguishing systems and wireless/radio systems in the North East. So, if you’re looking for quality fire alarm installers in Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Teesside or North Yorkshire, look no further.
Not only do we install, but we also maintain and service all types of Open and Closed Protocol Fire Alarm Systems; from those comprising of only one or two manual call points and sounders, through to complex networked systems, incorporating a large number of fire detectors, manual call points and sounders connected to inter-communicating control panels, and further on to Voice Evacuation Systems.
Types of system include;
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Conventional fire alarm systems are the entry level for most fire system requirements. These alarms are suitable for small offices, nurseries, small hotels, warehouses, shops and any small business.
Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Addressable fire systems transmit data over the detection circuit that provides intricate information for the user including the exact location of the fire. Addressable fire alarm systems are ideal for larger premises such as hotels, office blocks and large factories.
Wireless/Radio Fire Alarm Systems
Radio fire alarms (also known as wireless fire alarms) are the same as a standard analogue addressable fire alarm system but with the advantage of no wires to interlink the detection and sounders. Wireless fire alarms are ideal for existing or multiple buildings such as historic buildings, schools, colleges or science parks.
Aspirating / VESDA Pipe Detection Systems
An aspirating smoke detector (ASD), consists of a central detection unit which draws air through a network of pipes to detect smoke. Aspirating smoke detectors are highly sensitive, and can detect smoke before it is even visible to the human eye. Aspirating Systems are ideal for voids, lift shafts, dusty areas, warehouses etc.
Reflective Beam Detection System
Optical beam smoke detection is a very cost effective method of protecting large areas, especially using reflective technology that only requires wiring to one end.
Voice Evacuation Systems
Voice Evacuation systems can utilise pre-recorded emergency Voice messages, warning that an emergency has been reported and to evacuate the building (often also mentioning not to use lifts), and can also be used by personnel and firefighters to give specific information and/or instructions over the alarm system. Usually they are either tied into the building’s public address system or are outfitted with their own speakers.
Remote Monitoring
The monitoring of fire signals and subsequent transmission to the relevant fire brigade authorities to ensure automatic fire brigade response can be carried out by our 24-hour monitoring and alarm-receiving centre.
