The chosen 30-zone fire safety management plan comprises nine 4-loop GFE fire control panels, 2,700 detectors, and more than 500 sounders and Manual Call Points (MCPs).

The system incorporates GFE’s ODYSSEY Graphics Display and Alarm Management System which enables up to 64 fire alarm panels to be connected and controlled by a PC. Each panel can then be displayed on the computer screen as though the operator was standing in front of the actual panel.

sophisticated and intelligent system

Reza Akhavan, CEO of Pars Ajirak, GFE’s appointed distributor for Iran, comments, “The sheer scale of the AVA General complex meant that the fire safety system needed to be sophisticated and intelligent."

Reza Akhavan adds, "We worked closely with the client and the experts at GFE throughout the design, installation, and commissioning stages to ensure the final solution would meet the bespoke requirements for each of the different areas in the complex.
