C-TEC’s BF366 keyswitch isolatable relay is at the heart of the life-safety systems at a new care home in the Norwegian capital Oslo.
Stovner Forest Nursing Home has over 100 elderly people. Wigan-based C-TEC’s 24V 5A keyswitch isolatable relay allows communication between the fire system and the sprinkler system to be temporarily disabled during routine test and maintenance, to prevent it from accidentally activating. Crucially, the relay also provides a indication of when the sprinklers are ‘isolated’ to satisfy specification requirements.
Trond Rossing of Schneider Electric, the installer of the system, said: “As almost all new buildings in Norway must be equipped with an integrated fire alarm and sprinkler system to alert the fire brigade, C-TEC’s BF366 represents a vital means of integrating the systems and allowing communication to be disabled during testing periods to reduce the impact of false alarms.”
