The System
In order for the radio system to operate correctly each device must be within radio range of a panel. For larger systems booster/repeater panels (which have no indication capabilities) are required to relay the information back to a master control panel which displays information about the condition of the system. Multiple control panels can be used in the system - all communicating via radio signals so no cabling (apart from a mains supply to each panel) is required.

To ensure a system will function correctly once installed a site radio survey is required. This determines the exact positions for control and booster/repeater panels ensuring adequate radio coverage is achieved around the site. This service is carried out by one of our appointed distributors.

Each device sends a regular 'status ok' signal to its' local radio panel. Should these signals not be received by a panel a fault message is displayed on the control panel(s). If a device detects a fire or fault condition it will send a signal to its local panel immediately which then in turn transmits a message to the master control panel. On larger systems two radio frequencies are used to ensure this process completes in a matter of seconds.

Control Panels
The control panel displays any alarm or fault information and is used to control the system. The main functions include an Evacuate, Alert, Silence and Reset button. A key pad is also featured to allow access to menu functions which include isolating the system, selecting test modes and viewing a history of events. An engineer with the correct password can configure the system from the keypad. The panel essentially controls the rest of the system, but a high level of integrity has been built into the system to ensure that if part of the system failed the remainder of the system would operate as effectively as possible.
