FireClass Scenarios
FireClass for Hotels
Hotels often offer a complex challenge with
varying room sizes, restaurants, leisure
facilities and public areas all under one roof.
The reliability of the system is paramount as
its primary function is to protect life. FireClass
systems provide the most effective cover,
performance you can count on with minimum
disruption to the operation of the building and
its occupants.
Most hotel bedrooms have en-suite facilities
containing bath and shower. Both of these can
generate substantial amounts of steam which
is known to trigger some smoke detectors.
This disruption could be extreme and result
in an unnecessary full evacuation. Various
sensitivities are available to truly tailor the
system to the building owner’s needs. Guests
can be inconvenienced if sleeping, eating
in the restaurant, relaxing in the bar, or in a
meeting or conference in one of the hotel’s
meeting rooms. Not to mention the financial
penalties when guests refuse to pay or take
their business elsewhere for the next visit.
The FC460PC Multisensory uses
sophisticated technology to ensure that the
steam escaping from the en-suite facility will
not trigger an alarm. However the sensor
is still highly sensitive to the products of
combustion generated by a smouldering fire
and will raise an alarm even before a normal
sensitivity smoke detector, due to its ability to
sense the combustion gas; carbon monoxide,
produced by the fire.
