Notifier- Wireless Smoke Detectors- RFX Wireless Smoke Detection System

Notifier RFX Smoke Detection System

Solution to Wiring Problems

RFX (Radio Frequency Control Detection) - Too often, plans to add fire detection equipment to commercial buildings are halted or run over budget because of wiring challenges created by ceiling or wall designs, some involving materials such as marble or rock. Our wireless RFX smoke detection system can be the solution.

Notifier- Wireless Smoke Detectors- RFX Wireless Smoke Detection System

The key to the system is a translation device, the RFX gateway, which can communicate with up to four remote receivers. The RFX-R receivers monitor wireless signals from up to 80 wireless smoke detectors. They transmit the status of those detectors via communication wiring to the RFX gateway.

RFX Gateway

The RFX gateway in turn connects to a NOTIFIER intelligent panel via the SLC loop to give each wireless smoke detector its own address and custom status indication.

Applications

  • Buildings with high-marble walls and ceilings
  • Structures with walls and/or ceilings where drilling or running wires is difficult
  • Cultural/heritage properties such as museums, libraries, state and federal buildings
