Kentec Reduces False Alarms At Stoke Mandeville

A new fire system designed to tackle a chronic false alarm problem at the world renowned Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire has been hailed a resounding success with an 80% drop in incidents in its first year.

Fire systems specialists Pyrotec Systems, appointed for the design, installation and maintenance of this massive Private Finance Initiative (PFI) funded re-development, chose an open protocol system that interfaces with Kentec Syncro AS control panels, as they offer both versatility and a very high level of intelligence, allowing more accurate interrogation and interpretation of possible fire events within the hospital.

This open protocol system consists of 28 Kentec panels and 5000 Hochiki devices, allowing seamless integration to a Building Management System that provides fire data intelligence for fire alarm management at many levels, with clarity of zone identification as a major feature of the system and provision for future expansion of the PFI development.
