Fixfire® can modify your Fire Alarm system to provide Lock-down functionality.
Whilst available solutions will vary according to the type of Fire Alarm System you have installed; use of your existing Fire Alarm system infra-structure is a cost-effective means of generating a site-wide alert.
The typical arrangement includes actuation points which are installed in strategic positions, usually including main reception areas. These units can either take the form of a key-switch or Manual Call Points which are coloured ‘Blue’ or ‘White’ and clearly labelled according to your requirements.
Upon activation, the intelligent multi-tone Fire Alarm sounders are configured to sound a distinct tone which is selected to be different from other tones eg Class Change, Fire Alarm, Factory Machinery etc Depending on the type of system we can incorporate voice sounders that will annunciate a pre-programmed message of your choice. It is also possible to select specific sounders which will operate ie it is not necessary for all of the existing Fire Alarm sounder positions to sound in a ‘Lock-down’ Scenario.

Any ancillary connections eg Access Control system interfacing etc that would normally operate under a Fire Alarm situation is configured to remain in normal status in a Lock-down scenario.
AlertLog™ offers a further enhancement. Following activation of a Lock-down alarm, AlertLog™ will alert any number of staff via their mobile phone via the ‘Notify App’, text-message or e-mail. AlertLog™ will also confirm the location of the actuation point without the need to visit the Fire Alarm Control Panel for this information.
