C-TEC’s new Hush ActiV BS 5839-6 Grade C domestic fire alarms are providing fire protection at several Ministry of Defence-managed residential properties in north Wales.
Located on the banks of the Menai Strait, the residences are part of The Joint Service Mountain Training Centre Indefatigable, a facility designed to provide affordable holiday accommodation for members of the UK’s armed forces and their families.
Each of the three-bedroomed properties comes with Hush ActiV smoke detectors in the entrance hall and stairs, a heat detector in the kitchen and sounder beacons in the bedrooms, all connected to a Hush ActiV controller. With its controller, the system offers detection, alarm, silencing and test facilities at light-switch level – occupants press ‘HUSH’ on the controller to silence an unwanted alarm.
Olympian Fire was the specialist installation company that completed the project. Darren Morrell, Director of Olympian said: “Our client required a system that would provide the families staying in the properties with the highest levels of fire protection and minimal false fire alarms. We specified Hush ActiV, a high-quality cost-effective fully-monitored BS 5839-6 Grade C solution, as it offers greater levels of protection than the unmonitored battery alarm Grade D systems typically used in these properties and virtually eliminates false alarms.
“Hush ActiV is a fantastic option for domestic dwellings that don’t require all-out conventional fire alarm systems. Our client is delighted and the success of the project has led to C-TEC’s more sophisticated Hush Pro domestic fire solution being specified at some other MoD facilities where connection to a communal/landlord system is required.”
