Fire Protection for the Communications Industry

Telecommunications facilities can range from large network Control centers to unmanned remote switching locations. Both types of facilities contain high-value electronic equipment which must operate 24/7 or the facility’s owner is out of business. Fires normally occur as the result of overheating situations or short circuits but can also be caused by natural disasters or sabotage. They often go unnoticed—in an electronic equipment cabinet or in a subfloor—until they’ve grown to a size and intensity that threatens the entire facility.

Detection

Kidde ORION® XT HSSD® System

Laser-based high-sensitivity smoke detection system designed to detect fire in the incipient stage. Recommended for critical facilities such as data centers and telecommunications facilities. Thousands of times more sensitive than conventional detectors, the ORION XT employs particle size discrimination technology to reduce the occurrence of nuisance alarms. System consists of a detector head, piping network and optional LCD display module.

Suppression

Kidde ADS™ FM-200® Fire Suppression System

The Kidde ADS FM-200 Fire Suppression System catches a fire before it has a chance to interrupt business operations. High sensitivity smoke Detection provides an extra margin of time to facility managers to investigate the fire event, remove the source and prevent the need for activation of the suppression system. ADS stands for Advanced Delivery System which enables the facility owner to protect larger complexes more effectively and economically with remotely located agent storage cylinders. The ADS System also features a network of intelligent detectors and a multiprocessor-based control unit to sound alarms and trigger the release of FM-200, a clean, people-safe, environmentally-friendly gaseous agent into the protected enclosure.
