Revolutionizing Fire Detection Maintenance
Fire detection systems are perhaps the most critical component of any life safety strategy. Relied upon to safeguard people and property, they require attentive maintenance and inspection to ensure the safety and security of any building and its occupants.
The downside is that traditional methods of testing detectors can be labor-intensive. Testing often involves cumbersome processes using canned smoke or heat guns, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential inaccuracies.
Integrated Electronics alleviates that burden and proudly offers the Notifier Self-Test Series detectors. These intelligent plug-in smoke and heat detectors automatically perform functional and smoke entry testing in accordance with NFPA 72 requirements. The Self-Test detectors meet the three core NFPA requirements for detector maintenance: functional test, smoke entry test, and ability to verify a visual inspection has taken place. And they eliminate the need for canned smoke or heat guns when used with a compatible fire alarm control panel and supporting self-test app.
The groundbreaking technology found in these Self-Test detectors comes complete with a wide range of features and benefits. Some of the most notable features include:
Self-Test Functionality: Our Self-Test Series detectors introduce small amounts of smoke and heat into the chamber to test the sensors, ensuring that they are functioning correctly.
Smoke Entry Test: The detectors automatically test if the photo sensor smoke entry points are blocked by the dust cover, ensuring optimal performance.
Visual Inspection Verification: Through its built-in beacon and the self-test app, the detectors verify that the technician has completed the visual inspection. When it comes to fire safety, this level of peace of mind is priceless.
UL Listing: Compliance is key when it comes to fire. These detectors are listed to UL 268 7th edition and/or UL 521 to comply with industry standards and regulations.
The benefits are many, as well:
TIME SAVINGS: These Self-Test Series detectors we offer can test detectors across multiple loops and panels concurrently, which is a big time-saver during maintenance checks. Anyone who performs NFPA-mandated life safety system test and inspection knows all too well that the process can take takes days, sometimes weeks, depending on the size of the campus or facility and requires multiple technicians. These techs need to access some challenging spaces, such as occupied private rooms and elevator shafts, disrupting the occupants using these spaces or completely disabling the spaces for the duration of the inspection.
But Notifier Self-Test Series detectors can be tested automatically – cutting the test and inspection process down from days and weeks to hours and minutes.
Accuracy: Our detectors consistently perform self-tests to ensure they’re always working at peak performance levels. This reduces the risk of false alarms and ensures timely detection of potential fire hazards. It also provides building occupants with peace of mind that their safety is being monitored and maintained effectively.
Versatility: Our Self-Test Series detectors are compatible with a wide range of fire alarm control panels and can be integrated seamlessly into existing fire detection systems, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution for various building types and applications.
