Siemens Building Technologies - Sinteso: The best fire protection for today and tomorrow
The innovative Sinteso fire detection from Siemens Building
Technologies not only sets new standards for performance and
reliability, its modular design also means that Sinteso
installations can cost-effectively meet the current requirements
of almost any type of building, and can also be readily extended
and adapted to reflect future changes in building configuration
and use.
Furthermore, the operation of Sinteso detectors is determined by
a user-installable parameter set, which enables their
performance to be precisely matched to their operating
environment, as well as allowing that performance to be modified
easily if the environment changes.
These features, together with easy installation and low lifetime
costs, make the Sinteso system an ideal choice for all types of
new-build and refurbishment projects, including those involving
areas that would be hard to protect effectively using older
technologies.
Developed after ten years of intensive research, and now fully
optimised to meet the specific needs of users in the UK, Sinteso
products are ideally suited to helping users meet their
obligations under the new Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (RRFSO).
The Sinteso product family includes a broad range of detectors
and accessories, complemented by versatile yet easy to use fire
control panels.
Central to the range are Sinteso S-Line detectors. Easily able
to satisfy even the most demanding requirements, these detectors
use Siemens new and patented ASA (Advanced Signal Analysis)
technology. This works with a pre-stored parameter set chosen by
the installer or user to accurately match the operating
environment.
Using dynamic algorithms that continually adapt to changing
conditions, S-Line detectors compare the signals from their
sensors with the chosen parameters to produce an accurate
real-time assessment of the situation. This novel arrangement
allows high sensitivity to be achieved while virtually
eliminating the risk of false alarms.
To emphasise its confidence in the new S-Line products, Siemens
is backing them not just with a System Lifetime Guarantee, but
also with a Guarantee Against False Alarms. This is the first
time that any UK supplier of fire safety equipment has offered
such a comprehensive combination of guarantees.
Sinteso fire control panels offer a clear and intuitive user
interface and logical menu driven operation, which makes them
easy to use, even under stressful fire conditions. The panels
are available in versions which support up to 504 connected
devices, and they can easily be linked to form networks of
almost any size.
Highly customisable to suit individual applications, Sinteso
fire control panels also incorporate Ethernet/BACnet support as
standard, allowing straightforward connection to PC-based remote
access terminals, and to building management systems.
