With the launch of the new version of the fire protection system, Cerberus FIT, Siemens Smart Infrastructure expands its offering for the small to medium-sized buildings market. Various small to medium-sized buildings can now be covered with a simple and cost-efficient solution.

auto-configured solution 

Cerberus FIT maximizes fire safety, due to greater functionality and enhanced productivity for those working on protecting the buildings.

The intuitive interface as well as the auto-configuration tool allows the technician to install, commission, and maintain the system in a fast, easy and reliable way.

With the delayed alarm function staff will be informed first to identify what an alarm is about in order to assess the situation. This ensures business continuity and reduces disturbances to occupants of smaller buildings such as small-to-medium-sized hotels, kindergartens, or nursing homes.

Safety in every situation

The Cerberus line offers a broad portfolio of detection and alarming devices including pre-configured Cerberus FIT devices to choose from: from fast and reliable fire detectors to configurable alarming devices (including EN 54 compliant sounder and voice sounder beacons) which enables smart evacuation.

Updated Cerberus FIT system

Cerberus FIT fire protection system allows for a second loop, supporting a maximum number of 252 devices

The newest portfolio member, the updated Cerberus FIT fire protection system allows for a second loop, supporting a maximum number of 252 addressable peripherals and devices, such as detectors as well as alarm devices.

Compared to one loop panels with only 126 addressable peripherals, the second loop offers more possibilities to wire devices to the panel. All detectors and peripheral devices have an integrated line separator.

In case of an interruption, the loop turns into two stub lines while making sure the system is running. This significantly increases the safety of building occupants and ensures business continuity. Because every device is also powered by the loop, less wiring is needed, enabling the customer to achieve cost-efficiency.

Intuitive and easy operation

The new version of the Cerberus FIT control panel comes with an intuitive interface, including LED indicators with self-explanatory icons and an easy-to-read display. This avoids extensive training and allows facility staff to perform simple operational tasks on their own, without the help of experts.

Due to its auto-configuration feature, the Cerberus FIT control panel detects and automatically reads in all connected devices, providing immediate and simple operation. The integrated 'Panel Configurator' enables the configuration to be changed quickly and easily on a PC or laptop, without additional software.
