Disruptive technology Case study – London Borough of Harrow
FOCUS
THE LONDON Borough of Harrow is now using some of the latest smoke alarm technology to full effect, having fitted Aico’s mains powered Multi Sensor fire alarms into its domestic properties to upgrade them to at least a category LD2, Grade D standard. Multi Sensors are being fitted in the main living rooms, landings and hallways of the properties, as well as a heat alarm in the kitchens. Where additional risks have been highlighted, further alarms
will be installed on recommendation from the installers.
RadioLINK+ RF technology is also used
to interconnect alarms on the system without the need to hard wire them together. This has proved an invaluable feature for the council, which uses RadioLINK+ wireless alarm interconnection during refurbishments to avoid any unnecessary disruption at a property. The Multi Sensor fire alarm features
data extraction technology in the form of AudioLINK and RadioLINK+. AudioLINK enables real time data to be extracted from each alarm – sounding directly to a smartphone or tablet via a free app, an alarm status report is created. RadioLINK+ enables whole system data to be extracted and accessed securely from within or even outside a property if access is an issue.
Both data extraction technologies not only enable issues to be identified and dealt with on site, but can also help with maintenance and asset management records. The maintenance support team at Harrow Council will be able to make use of the data retrieval technology as an extra tool, to help diagnose problems and give extra support and advice at properties, as needed. In addition to the mains powered Ei2110e Multi Sensor fire alarm, Harrow Council is installing Aico alarm controllers, and other devices and accessories, where they are recommended by the installers
