Software-supported planning and dimensioning of signaling devices in fire alarm systems
The right fire alarm can save lives. Especially in industry a well and efficiently planned alarm solution is very important. When planning and projecting, many details have to be taken into account. Not only standards and guidelines have to be observed, but also the alarm solution has to be planned effectively and above all economically.
Xenon or LED: the application decides the technology
Two different technologies are usually considered in the choice of lights for a signaling application: LED and XENON. Both technologies have their place but the application decides the technology. The question is not "which is better" but "which is better for which applications and when".
Large spaces pose high risk of fire: audible fire alarm systems in logistics centres
Pfannenberg equips the distribution hub at one of world's largest online retailers with audible signaling devices. Around 3 billion parcels are dispatched every year in Germany and with the trend rising, more and more logistics centres are being built to manage the huge numbers that will be sent in the future. Large quantities of cardboard packaging make distribution hubs extremely susceptible to fire. Pfannenberg provides a safe solution.
Fire protection in accordance with VDE 0833-2: changes relating to visual signaling devices in fire alarm systems
The provisions of the standard for visual signaling devices in fire alarm systems, DIN EN 54-23, are legally binding in Germany.The following article explains the significance of this development for suppliers, installers and designers of fire alarm systems.
3D-Coverage: performance in a given space is crucial
3D-Coverage, Pfannenberg's new, practical demonstration method for the first time visualises the actual performance of signaling devices in a given space under real environmental conditions, thus helping planners to design the ideal signaling solutions.
