A dazzling
new luxury student accommodation development in the heart
of historic Durham is the perfect location for Kentec’s highly
acclaimed Taktis fire detection and alarm technology.
Ernest
Place, just 10 minutes away from the city’s vibrant centre and the
university’s Durham city location, is a complex of 5 and 6 bed
apartments and studios boasting deluxe features such as a gym, sauna
and on-site cinema, and delivering a modern student lifestyle that is
described as University student living at its finest,
Such a prestige
development demands a fire safety system of the highest
pedigree, performance and reliability, which is why leading specialists
MRM Solutions opted for an open protocol system built around the
sophisticated features of the new Taktis Technology Platform.
A fire safety system
comprising three 8 loop Taktis networked fire control panels, one in each
accommodation block, plus a Vision repeater using Hochiki ESP protocol
is connected to primarily Hochiki smoke and sounder beacon bases
(VADs).
Kentec’s Taktis fire
detection and alarm system combines the very latest in hardware and
software to produce a control and indication system that is both powerful
and sophisticated, yet simple to understand. Available in 2-8 loop or
2-16 loop versions and certified to EN54-2 and EN54-4, Taktis is ideal for
installation in larger buildings. Its capacity to be networked up to
128 panels and repeaters gives reassurance to all
building owners/operators that they’re in safe hands.
Not only does Kentec’s
Taktis provide solutions to the most technically challenging applications
in life safety, it delivers added value through ease of use, displaying
clear information to ensure that when an event occurs appropriate
action is taken swiftly.
