Fire Alarm repeater panels are available for most fire alarm systems and are required where the fire brigade or fire wardens may enter a building from more than one entrance, where security staff are located away from the main panel or where operational staff need the system information in more than one location, for example in hospital wards.
All fire control panels including most repeaters, require two forms of power supplies. The back up supply is built into the panel and is provided by sealed lead acid batteries, but a secure mains supply is
required for the primary power source. Fuses/isolation switches
should be clearly marked with “FIRE ALARM DO NOT SWITCH OFF” to ensure that the fire alarm system is not inadvertently powered down.
However, you will usually find that most repeater do not have a fire detection connected to it, but some manufactures do provide an option for this facility as a network.
This looks to be an incredibly interesting product, working in the realms of fire security I always like to stay up to date with the latest gadgets in this regard, and will reccomend it the next time we get the new budget through, thanks!
