A new analogue addressable fire alarm system has been installed at Milton Keynes magistrates’ court to replace the existing single loop fire system.
A fire alarm company installed around 260 Apollo fire detection devices, including optical smoke and heat detectors, loop-powered beacons, manual call points and interfaces.
The fire alarm system was designed on a network of three fire alarm panels.
The fire alarm system with the Apollo fire detection was interfaced to a voice alarm system.
If an fire alarm is raised by the fire detection within the courtroom areas, evacuation procedures are initiated in these zones and an alert is transmitted to the custody suite. Equally, should an incident be detected in the custody suite, this area will be evacuated immediately and the court areas are put on stand-by.
This project did not incorporate any wireless fire alarm detection, and all detection was hard wired to a local fire alarm panel.
However, if a wireless fire alarm system had been considered, the installation would have been so much easier.
