Online Tools Simplify AV Design
When designing an audible/visible (AV) system, there are several upfront tasks and calculations that must be made that can be tedious and complicated. System Sensor assists in this process by providing tools online (www.systemsensor.com/tools): the Voltage Drop Calculator, the Mounting Options Tool and the Equivalent Facilitation Calculator.
Phoenix Children’s Hospital: Anatomy of a Fire System Project
Detection Logic, a UTC Fire & Security Company of Phoenix, Arizona, rose to the challenge to win the design and installation of the fire system job for the massive expansion and renovation of Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
St. Anthony Hospital Completes First Construction Benchmark
The fire and life safety contractor shares how project magnitude and special requirements impact planning.
Hospitals are complex buildings in terms of fire safety — quite different from any other type of building. As a result, in a dedicated patient-care environment, fire systems can be very complex and several common practices may not apply. So the [...]
Loud and Clear
Because System Sensor has been listening to your current needs and looking ahead to what the industry will require, we are now making SpectrAlert® Advance speaker data available to model systems in EASE (Enhanced Acoustical Simulator for Engineers) software. EASE enables professionals to model voice system intelligibility and determine optimal speaker placement. While only a [...]
Q&A: Acoustical Engineering is Enhancing Intelligibility in Audible Fire Notification Designs
Thomas Trask is an acoustical engineer and senior associate at Newcomb & Boyd, an Atlanta, Ga.-based multidiscipline consulting and engineering firm providing innovative solutions for facility design, construction and maintenance. His acoustical engineering responsibilities have included acoustical analysis of performing arts centers, museums, laboratories, houses of worship, data centers, commercial buildings, production studios, high-rise [...]
Product: Heat Detector
The System Sensor 5600 Series mechanical heat detectors are the choice for property protection against fire and for non-life-safety situations where smoke detectors may be inappropriate. Some examples are small confined spaces where rapidly building high-output fires are expected, in areas where ambient conditions would not allow the use of other fire detection devices, or [...]
SpectrAlert® Advance Speaker Data Published for Use with EASE Software
To predict intelligibility of a voice system, System Sensor SpectrAlert® Advance speaker data is now available to model systems in EASE (Enhanced Acoustical Simulator for Engineers) software.
EASE 4.3 is a software solution designed to model sound properties for specific environments and speaker configurations. Voice evacuation system designers can use EASE to predict the intelligibility [...]
i3 Sounders/Accessories
The System Sensor i3 Series photoelectric smoke detectors with sounders are ideal for residential applications, especially those that require synchronization of the alarm signal throughout the system. These two- and four-wire models generate an 85 dBA temporal tone. When used with the RRS-MOD synchronization module, technicians can easily synchronize i3 sounders to meet interconnectivity requirements. [...]
Design Notification Circuits with Revised Voltage Drop Calculator Tool
Quickly plan and model notification appliance circuits (NACs) using the entire line of SpectrAlert® Advance appliances with the Voltage Drop Calculator. System Sensor has completely redesigned this user-friendly tool as a stand-alone application that users can download to their computers.
