Fire alarm systems for community housing are raised to top category protection with Aico


Watford Community Housing (WCH) has installed Grade D, LD1 fire detection systems in two 16-storey tower blocks using Aico Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms and accessories, wirelessly interconnected with Aico’s award winning RadioLINK+ RF technology.


A


bbey View and Munden View tower blocks on the Meriden Estate, are Watford landmarks and part of Watford Community


Housing’s portfolio of over 5,000 homes. David Wright, Surveying Manager at WCH explains: “Our tenants’ safety


and wellbeing is our highest priority. With this in mind, and due to the known risks around high-rise buildings, we decided that full fire detection would be appropriate.” As an existing Aico customer, David said: “We believe the products deliver the best in safety for our tenants. We are also aware of what is required from a maintenance point of view, helping us to minimise the time we spend in the properties.”


This was a consideration for WCH when specifying alarm types, leading


them to Aico’s Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm which uses optical and heat sensors to constantly monitor smoke and heat levels. The Multi-Sensor has two types of data extraction technology. AudioLINK enables real time data to be extracted from each alarm directly to a smartphone or tablet via a free App to create an Alarm Status Report. RadioLINK+ can extract total system data from a property, for a record of the alarm system in every property managed. And RadioLINK+ data extraction doesn’t even require access to the property. Three to four Multi-Sensors have been installed per flat with an Ei164e Heat Alarm in the kitchen and a wall mounted Ei450 Alarm Control Switch. The Switch allows residents to test the alarms, silence them and locate the trigger alarm from a safe, accessible location.


Product News


Protected: residents in two landmark tower blocks in Watford are now benefiting from Aico Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms and accessories, wirelessly interconnected with Aico’s RadioLINK+ RF technology.


The devices within each flat are interconnected wirelessly using Aico


RadioLINK+ RF technology. Aico’s Ei414 Fire/CO Alarm Interface provides a dedicated connection


between the Aico Part 6 Fire Alarms in each property and the Part 1 system in the communal hallway. Also benefiting from RadioLINK+ wireless interconnection technology, the Ei414 did not require apertures for wiring. The Ei414 will also enable the Part 6 Fire Alarm systems to be readily interconnected to sprinkler systems at a later date.

New corridor function for Scolmore Inceptor EVO LED Bulkheads


S


colmore is committed to making improvements to existing products as well as launching new and innovative products. The new Inceptor EVO LED Bulkhead is a prime example,


offering the same great features of the original version, but with a corridor function to help reduce energy consumption. Scolmore has a patent on the product’s unique design. The corridor function feature provides dimmed light for periods of


vacancy. It is activated automatically when no movement has been detected, with the operator defining the set time period for no movement (between 8 seconds and a maximum of 20 minutes). A switch on the driver activates the corridor function. Switch to ‘on’ and light output will dim to 15% of its rated lumen output when no movement is detected. Switch to ‘off’ and the light output will turn off when no movement is detected. Quick to install and simple to use, the Inceptor EVO Bulkhead offers


features and benefits unmatched by competitor products. As well as integrating the control gear and the light source within the diffuser, the bulkhead features a Flow plug which allows fast and simple connection and disconnection for testing and maintenance of the luminaire. Scolmore believes the Inceptor EVO is the only bulkhead currently available to incorporate a Flow connector. With other bulkhead products, the installer first needs to unscrew the

diffuser and then the gear tray, fix the base to the wall, terminate the conductor, re-attach the gear tray and re-screw the diffuser. Scolmore has taken away the need for time-consuming and unnecessary screws and integrated the control gear and light source within the diffuser and added a Flow connector. The installer, therefore, simply removes the diffuser, fits the base to the wall/ceiling, wires the conductor into the flow connector and secures the diffuser in place. The IP65-rated Inceptor EVO comes in Circular and Eye-Lid, with each


offered in Standard, Emergency, Microwave Sensor and Emergency and Microwave Sensor combined. This provides contractors and installers with a range of easy-to-install LED bulkheads, suitable for a variety of domestic and commercial applications. In addition, vandal-resistant metal housings with an IK10 rating are available in Circular, Eye-Lid and Grille formats.
