Fire alarm systems resettable manual call points from STI Europe have been installed at London's Underground stations as part of an upgrade of fire protection by London Underground Limited.
Help points for London Underground
Fire Alarm manual call points, which were already installed in London Underground stations, have now been incorporated into help points – alarm boxes set up across the Underground for commuters that are interfaced onto the fire alarm system. The help points, which have been fitted on both the underground and external, use an IP-65 rated solution. The expansion followed trials in Great Portland Street, Baker Street and Euston Square underground stations.
Jonathan Summers, business development manager at STI (Europe), who worked with Mike Mannering, maintenance fire engineer with London Underground Maintain, said:
“At the start of last year Mike and I worked together to develop a new back box for the fire alarm call point – a 50mm version rather than the 30mm version – to ensure that it could accommodate all aspects of the existing cabling installations required within the London Underground remit.
"This had pretty significant consequences across the whole network. We also produced a simple ‘not in use’ label to readily identify those call points which had been decommissioned.”
London underground are preparing all their fire alarm systems for the 2012 Olympics.
