Fire Alarm Installation- Bishop Wordsworth's School, Salisbury, Wiltshire.

The school consists of several buildings varying from three storey blocks to single storey blocks to pratten buildings and spread over a fairly large area. The design had to address this situation by offering a Fire Alarm system that would inform various parts of the site of an alarm state without necessarily having to evacuate the whole school.

For the Fire Alarm Installation, we selected an Analogue Addressable system, with four loop circuits. Each device on the loop has it's own 'address' which when activated will appear on the LCD display on the main and repeater panels, such as 'Manual call point - First floor science block' or 'Smoke detector - reception office'. Any activation is recorded in the systems memory and can be printed out via its own built in printer. Several thousand metres of cable were installed to achieve this very important safety installation.
