2 Highly Experienced in the Fire Sprinkler Industry. Manufacturer and distributor of code compliant and approved products. Products provide benefits for end user, contractor, consultant and environment. Leading innovator in fire sprinkler technology.

3 In the next 30 mins we shall show you how you can Automate Flowswitch Testing Automate the Weekly Alarm Valve Test Conduct Live Sprinkler Modifications Provide Pre- Action Sprinkler Protection Achieve Efficient Construction with POD Technology

4 Traditional Flow-switch Testing

5 Traditional Flow-switch Testing is Required at least quarterly under EN12845 Required to prevent the flow switch paddle sticking Required to simulate a single head in operation Wasteful (around 320 litres of water per test) Time consuming Costly

6 Problems Testing Costs Multiple Engineers Business Disruption Difficult Access Energy & Water Costs Hassle Of Co-ordination/Admin (Including Tenants) Out Of Compliance / Non-compliant Testing Accelerated Levels of Corrosion Water Disposal Fire Pumps Activate Potential for Stock Damage Poor Record Keeping

7 The Future of Testing How do I remain compliant? How do I simplify testing? How do I save water & energy?

16 The only available Life Safety Approved Fire Sprinkler Detection System.

17 Alarm-Valve Testing

18 Traditional Testing Is Required weekly under EN12845 Ensures correct operation Wasteful Circa 600 litres/test Daunting for non-specialists Costly A 15mm test valve is fully opened, draining off water from the system.

19 ZONECHECK Solution

20 ZONECHECK How it Works Bellcheck works by re-circulating water around the alarm-valve causing the clack to lift. Drawing water from above the clack (reducing the pressure above) and discharges water beneath the clack (increasing the pressure below).

21 Case Study: Mixed Use Development - Leicester Square 95,000 sq ft office development arranged over floors 2-8. Rated BREEAM Excellent, completed in Q The Bellcheck units installed will save over 60,000 litres of water every year.
