Around 40% (approximately 100,00) of all construction site fires are started deliberately. In line with HSG168 regulations all sites must NOW display a visual AND audible alert to fire. The ALERTEX fire system has been designed specifically for temporary and evolving sites and complies with HSE Fire Safety Guidelines.
QUICK AND EASY TO INSTALL
Alertex units are delivered pre-programmed so once the batteries are inserted units can be screwed or cable tied in place and the system is ready.
NO BASE STATION OR INTERFACE
Unlike other systems, Alertex units are standalone meaning they do not need a base station, bridge, or inter-face to communicate.
UNRIVALLED TRANSMISSION RANGE
Units can be placed up to 1km line of sight and the mesh protocol used means that even on the most challenging of sites, when one unit is triggered, it will activate all other units in range.
AUDIBLY DISTINCT
With an adjustable decibel level of up to 117 dB and 32 alarm sounds to choose from, each system can be configured to suit the requirements of the site. Alternatively, sounders can be replaced with annunciators allowing a bespoke message to be aired on activation. Both variants can be used on one site if required.
FIRST AID ALERT
A combined Fire & First Aid unit is now available. All units trigger when the FIRE button is pressed, when the FIRST AID button is pressed it activates a designated master with the activated unit number so that the appropriate assistance can be made.
WIRELESS ANNUNCIATOR
Allows for bespoke site wide safety messages to be announced in several languages.
ROBUST DESIGN
External units have a durable IP66 weather-rated enclosure. For additional protection from falling debris, units can be fitted with external cages if required.
CONNECT SITES
Larger construction sites may have zones where evacuations are not necessary due to their proximity. Alertex programming allows users to set different site codes for these areas if required.
PROTECTION FOR PART BUILDS
The protection of part-builds from fire is always a concern on an evolving site. Alertex heat and smoke detectors will trigger Alertex alert points within a 100m range. Heat and smoke detectors have a 10-year battery life and will automatically power up when the detector is installed on a mounting plate.
AN INTELIIGENT SYSTEM
If required, you can add an IP Bridge to the system. This reports which unit has been activated, reports battery and signal strength, allows for email and text notifications to key personnel and allows for part or full testing of the system.
NEW PAGER
Designed to work with our Fire & First Aid Alert, the pager can be used as an alternative means to alert key personnel who are on the move, of a first aid event.
