Honeywell Fire Lite Systems

High Rise Security Systems, a Chicago-based fire and security systems company, represents Fire-Lite by Honeywell detection and notification devices designed for protection in multiple building configurations. Using SWIFT® wireless technology, addressable devices are designed to integrate to provide the utmost in protection for occupants in case of smoke and fire outbreaks.

Honeywell builds upon a century of experience in atmospheric and temperature sensing devices. With Honeywell Fire-Lite detection systems, the company manufactures an entirely integrated system to detect trouble, notify and direct occupants, and alert monitoring agencies and emergency services. With the many high-rise buildings and expansive campuses in Chicagoland, early detection and rapid response are necessary to protect individuals and properties.

What is an Addressable Fire Detection System?

Honeywell Fire Lite is an addressable fire alarm system which means every smoke or fire detection device has an address or location. Moreover, each detection device connects to and communicates with each other and a central control site. In large buildings, this interconnectivity allows the control personnel to identify the place or “address” where the discovery first occurred. The information allows emergency response to direct their efforts to the precise location of the developing problem and eliminate the problem quickly.

How Does Fire-Lite Systems Work?

The system starts with Fire-Lite’s Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel. Fire-Lite offers four models of differing size and capability. Each is easily programmable and come equipped with:

• addressable point identification
• digital communication
• NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) synchronization

SWIFT Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technology provides reliable connectivity among the devices using mesh technology that allow interaction among the devices.

Fire-Lite’s Emergency Command Center (ECC) brings all of the devices together for state-of-the-art monitoring and coordination. The ECC provides multi-zone observation, mass notification, and evacuation management from a single location.

Communicators automatically connect the central control point to external emergency agencies and monitoring services to initiate firefighting and other emergency efforts.

Annunciators are essential elements of the entire system. The annunciators advise arriving firefighters of the location of all detection and alarm systems. The system will graphically show firefighting personnel where the fire may have started and its current status. Annunciators monitor and report the status of AC power, alarms, and the extent of damage to other devices.

Choosing the Best Fire Alarm Monitoring Company

Cutting corners on fire alarm systems in a high-rise or other heavily occupied building is not an option. Building owners and managers are responsible for ensuring the complete safety of the occupants and should employ the highest level of safeguards possible.

In the case of any threat of fire, the quickest possible response is critical. When smoke, fire, or other threat to safety are detected within the building, occupants are alerted to evacuate. Simultaneously, an emergency signal is sent to the monitoring service that a problem is developing. The service alerts the fire department and other appropriate emergency agencies immediately.

Minutes can make a difference between safety and disaster. Constant, uninterrupted surveillance and timely notification are the reasons building managers should work only with highly professional and proven companies to monitor internal fire detection and warning systems.

Why a Fire Alarm Monitoring Service?

Some building managers and owners have believed that if they have an alarm that makes enough noise, then having an outside service to monitor is a waste. However, situations can occur in which qualified, off-site monitoring professionals can make a difference between no resulting casualties and minimal damage versus possible disaster and extensive damage.

Sometimes when a fire suddenly breaks out, the very first action is to identify the location of the fire and ensure that everyone safely evacuates the building before notifying the fire department. Clearly, evacuation and occupant safety are the primary steps. Waiting minutes before alerting the authorities may be disastrous.

Alternatively, a sudden fire late at night in a residential or dormitory building can render occupants unconscious, unable to call for help. A monitoring service will ensure help arrives quickly.

What To Look For in a Fire Alarm Monitoring Service

An effective fire alarm monitoring service must be a company that:

• is experienced
• has a reputation for reliability
• is fully licensed and certified
• installs, and maintains entire detection and notification systems
• understands your system completely
• is responsible for maintaining all fire equipment in the building
