Safety & Security Advanced Saves Arizona School £14,000 on Fire Systems Update Hochiki Europe Builds On Success At Ecobuild 2016 The high level of integrity and diagnostic tools on its systems have helped an Advanced systems integrator save a client school £14,000 on a retrofit installation. Alarm Electronics & Communications was contracted by the Flagstaff Unified School District in Arizona to update the fire detection system at Coconino High School. Having experienced two massive remodels and several lightning strikes over the years, school officials noticed during the latest remodel that the fire systems were unstable, with obsolete parts that made repairs difficult. To address these issues, the company used Axis AX intelligent fire panels from Advanced. The panel has four fully filtered, voltage regulated SLC addressable circuits that would accommodate the old wiring types and methods, as well as the sheer length of wire in the school’s current system. Using the Axis AX panel, Alarm Electronics & Communications could engineer and commission the upgrade on the go. Hochiki Europe will be on stand E6096 at Ecobuild 2016, exhibiting its innovative FIREscape emergency lighting system. The leading manufacturer of fire safety solutions will be at London’s ExCel, from 8-10 March, providing visitors with the opportunity to discuss the latest building and life safety issues and product improvements within the fire detection sector. Ecobuild delegates will also have the opportunity to learn more about Hochiki Europe’s core fire detection systems. Building designers, architects or specifiers attending Ecobuild can also find out about Hochiki’s new range of BIM content, which is based on a selection of its core fire detection and emergency lighting products.
