Tyco UK and ADT, a Tyco Business, have launched SprinklerSense, an intelligent sprinkler monitoring and maintenance system.
By utilising solid-state sensors instead of traditional mechanical flow switches, SprinklerSense significantly reduces the risk of failures.
Suitable for both new and retrofit scenarios, the system delivers a range of installation, compliance, monitoring, testing and environmental benefits.
Sprinkler Sense provides organisations and Facilities Management providers with a new and effective approach to the management, monitoring, testing and recording of the water flow of sprinkler systems. Loss Prevention Certification Board approved, the new system offers insurance and authority compliance.
Installation is simple and cost effective. The compact and lightweight Sprinkler Sense system only requires a single hole for fixing, and uses less pipework than traditional systems. The ability to test the system remotely at ground level also reduces the need for contractors to be working at height – improving health and safety conditions during the installation process.
The SprinklerSystem benefits from having no moving parts but instead utilises solid-state sensors, reducing the chance of failure and increasing reliability. The system can also help an organisation to lower its environmental impact with no drainage required for the system testing and the ability to identify slow leaks.
“We understand that there are a number of pressures facing organisations when it comes to upgrading and maintaining sprinkler systems,” explained Mike Davies, Fire Product Manager at Tyco. “Therefore, we have responded to market needs with an intelligent system that is simple to install, reliable and environmentally friendly and one that helps businesses protect both lives and assets should a fire occur.”
Finally, helping to enhance safety on site, SprinklerSense can be connected to an MX fire detection control panel, which enables the system to be fully monitored.
