With current UK regulations stating all business premises must have ‘an appropriate fire detection system’, installing a wireless alarm system can bring peace of mind to company owners, events organisers, landlords, and anyone else responsible for fire safety – all while ensuring full compliance and fire safety.
There’s been a notable shift towards wireless fire alarms – systems that operate without the need for extensive wiring – and for good reason. Our new and improved Commander Wireless Site Alarm, for instance, is packed with a range of high-tech features, helping businesses comply with regulations and enhance fire safety in a range of settings.
Here, we outline the advantages a wireless alarm system can bring, and why they’re increasingly preferred over traditional wired systems.
As with conventional fire alarms, wireless fire alarm systems are designed to detect smoke and fire, then issue an effective warning to alert building occupants. Through use of audible and visual alerts, a wireless alarm system can facilitate timely evacuation. Unlike conventional fire alarms, the wireless models do not need extensive wiring to operate. Instead, they use radio frequency (RF) to communicate between detectors, sounders, and control panels.
The main difference between wired and wireless fire alarm systems lies in how they’re made up. Wired systems rely on physical cables to connect each component, which can be more expensive to install and maintain, especially if a business needs to move location. In contrast, wireless fire alarm systems use RF communication, so there’s no need for extensive cabling or long installation times. Plus, they’re more flexible to use in various situations. As always, though, it all depends on specific preferences and site requirements.
Without the need for wiring, wireless systems boast excellent adaptability. This makes them ideal for a range of applications and industries, including:
Wireless fire alarm systems make installation a breeze. Our new Commander Wireless Site Alarm, for example, features a hinged door for easy setup – simply open the door, follow the easy 7-step instruction installation process and the pairing process will be complete.
A high-quality, modern wireless system should be tough, loud, and always ready to respond. With its new and improved design, Commander Wireless Site Alarm boasts these robust benefits:
For larger premises, such as complex construction sites and holiday parks, Commander Wireless Site Alarm’s radio-link module allows multiple units to communicate without a central control panel. This innovative radio ‘meshing’ technology ensures that if one alarm is triggered, up to 20 connected units within 100m of open air to one another will communicate.
Reputable wireless fire alarm systems, such our Commander Wireless Site Alarm, are designed to comply with UK regulations, providing premises with reliable and effective fire detection and alerts.
For full peace of mind, it’s vital to ensure that a wireless fire alarm system has been designed by a reputable fire safety company. For unparalleled performance and flexibility, with easy installation, learn more about our Commander Wireless Site Alarm.
