Fire Detection & Suppression
VESDA Early Warning System
A VESDA early warning system is installed in the return air path of all Down Flow Units within the technical areas. This VESDA system is to provide early warning alerts only. The alarm will be raised in the technical area and repeated to the fire system.
Fire Detection Systems
All technical areas have a detection and alarm system fitted at high level and low level. The system incorporates fire detection panels, break glass contacts, heat detectors or smoke detectors and alarms.
Fire Suppression
The data centre operates using centrally stored FM200 gas cylinders to the technical and selected landlord areas.
The system is fully integrated with the fire detection system to operate on a double knock system and is fully interfaced to the gas extract and fresh air systems.
- Analogue addressable fire detection system to all areas (smoke and heat) with manual break-glass units
