So much planning has gone into the new office block for G2 Fire and just as they are doing the final touches, someone points out there is no fire detection! Now what?

Luckily for the new office block in Walmer Main Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, they called upon Jean-Paul (JP) Germishuizen and Jacques De Beer of DynaFire (Pty) Ltd to come to the rescue. At the point where they were called in, the building was 99% completed and installing wiring and conduits would have been very difficult, especially considering how quickly it needed to be completed.

The wireless devices can be easily re-located, offering long term cost and time savings

Wireless was the obvious answer, as it offered quick installation and flexibility should the internal layout change, which would result in detectors needing to be moved in the future. As the building tenants move in and make changes, the wireless devices can be easily re-located, offering long term cost and time savings.

For the wireless portion of the installation, they used the tried and tested EMS Firecell Wireless range of radio devices. However as an early adopter, and wanting to offer the new office space a panel befitting of its new modern design, DynaFire installed the newly launched Teledata MiniOne touch screen panel.

Understanding that DynaFire only had limited time to complete the installation, G2, using design plans from upon Jean-Paul (JP) Germishuizen, helped by doing some of the pre-programming of the wireless devices onto the panel, before shipping down to Port Elizabeth.

Working over the weekend, Jean-Paul (JP) Germishuizen and Jacques De Beer installed and commissioned the entire system.

Equipment used includes:

  • Teledatata OneMini (selecting Apollo protocol)
  • EMS Wireless Loop Modules
  • EMS Wireless Optical Smoke Detectors
  • EMS Wireless Heat Detectors
  • EMS Wireless Manual Call Points
  • EMS Wireless Base Sounder Beacons
