FIRE & SECURITY sounder beacons Switchtec's D
istributed by Switchtec, Sirena's M-Line range of beacons and sounders has been updated in order to expand its potential uses and tailor the units to specific tasks and applications. Each component of the M-Line range has been engineered with an easy snap-on technology that allows easy and safe installation even in the most challenging of environments. New colours for the units' bases have been added. The allRED line has been developed for fire warning applications and to complement the civil line when the colour red is required. allRED is designed to be aesthetically pleasing yet also highly noticeable when turned off. The allWHITE line has been introduced for those applications where aesthetically appealing and non- intrusive devices are required. The allWHITE line's clean appearance is ideal for use in hotels, offices, airports,
stations, hospitals and so on. A black version (allBLACK) is also available.

ince 1999 the WTCHG has been based in the Henry Wellcome Building of Genomic Medicine, which is located on the University of Oxford's Old Road Campus. The WTCHG houses more than 400 occupants spread over three floors. The original fire alarm and detection system installation, which was more than 10 years old, was in need of replacement. The use of Hochiki devices and Kentec control panels for all replacement and new systems has been the norm for the past twenty years. The project involved installing a 12 loop, 96 zone, analogue control panel and associated devices utilising the existing cabling infrastructure. Approximately 1,000 devices were installed including nearly 500 ACB-E analogue multi-sensors, which incorporate a variable temperature heat element and a rate of rise heat element – both of which are controlled from the control panel, allowing either one or both elements to be active in making the fire decision.

Ricochet Mesh Technology L
eading security product manufacturer Texecom is launching Ricochet MT2, the next generation of the company’s award-winning mesh network technology for reliable wireless security.
Already
compatible with the Premier Elite Control Panels and Elite XP-W expanders (V2.00 and higher), Ricochet MT2 brings significant enhancements to
the technology that Texecom believes is already more reliable, easier to use and effective over a greater range than any comparable
wireless system. The new technology has enabled the use of multiple expanders, increasing the number of wireless devices that each Premier Elite control panel can support, and wireless keyfobs are now separately supported to detection devices with 25-256 different users available depending on the control panel. Programming and commissioning has been simplified, with setup of wireless devices and keyfobs now done directly via the zone or user menus on the control panel.
