Wireless Overview www.incitefire.com.au Overview Fundamentals FIREwave is a wireless based family of products which is fully integrated into Hochiki s renowned ESP intelligent hardwired system. This seamless integration provides the user with maximum flexibility in configuring the system to meet the specific needs of the building into which it is to be deployed. FIREwave employs the latest technology, providing a simple and economic wireless fire detection system installation with minimal disruption to the fabric of the building and its operation. Flexible and versatile, FIREwave is suited to a wide range of applications, matching the requirements of any building from busy hotels to sensitive heritage buildings. FIREwave is the most flexible fire detection solution available that is simple to install and maintain, overcoming installation and maintenance challenges on the most demanding sites; advanced patented technology is used to achieve optimum performance. Operation Through patented and proven wireless technology, FIREwave is built around intelligent Translator and Expander Modules and the advanced wireless communication protocol facilitates the delivery of fully intelligent field device integration, allowing analogue values, device addresses and type codes to be transmitted to the system control panel. Powered directly from the detection loop, Translator Modules ensure a reliable and secure connection between the field devices and control equipment. Each Translator Module can support up to 32 field devices (maximum 16 output) via the proven wireless protocol. Communication between the Translator Module and devices is bi-directional and uses the 868MHz frequency range in Europe, 916MHz in Australia and 433MHz in India. Automatic system adjustments, including channel hopping and signal amplification, are implemented to support the security and stability of communications. Each field device has a range of 100m in free air, but greater distances and complex architecture can be addressed with Expanders to extend the coverage area the signals transmitted, allowing FIREwave systems to be configured to any size and complexity. All FIREwave devices are powered by standard lithium batteries which are both economical and environmentally friendly. Dependant on design and device type, a battery life of up to five years can be anticipated from the primary cell, with a further two months of operation from the support cell. All FIREwave batteries are monitored continually, and any low battery condition is automatically displayed at the control equipment. FIREwave sensors are supplied in three variants: Optical, Thermal and Multi Criteria, which cover a wide range of applications. The Optical and Multi Criteria detectors feature double dust traps and adaptive signal processing to prevent false alarms. Thermal detectors can respond to a fixed temperature threshold, or detect a rate of rise in temperature. The range of FIREwave devices provides a visually attractive wireless fire detection solution, encompassing a wide variety of installation types and sizes. Wall and base mounted audio devices have adjustable volume levels and multiple tone settings, and are available as stand-alone Sounders, or as combined units. Wall mounted units can be supplied in red or white, and weatherproof options are also available. Features Advanced, patented wireless technology ensures optimum system performance Expandable: configurable to any size and complexity of building Simple to install: fast deployment, with minimal disturbance Flexible and versatile: suits all building types 95
Wireless sensors Sensors The FIREwave intelligent wireless sensors come in three variants, Photoelectric/Optical (Smoke), Thermal (Heat) and Multi Criteria (Smoke & Heat). All devices are compatible with the FIREwave Loop Translator Modules and Expander Modules. The detectors parameters are programmed via the Translator Module (RSM- WTM-AS) via a PC link.
