WES+ system components
Base Station
- WES+ base stations provide site wide reporting and configuration for the fire alarm system.
- Wireless and battery powered eliminates inflexible wired control
- Full reporting functionality combined with mobility and reusability.
- Includes programming functions to edit site name, unit numbering and set up SMS alerts.
- System log records activations and warnings to monitor activity and history.
- GSM version enables up to 6 users to receive SMS notifications of alarm, tamper or system faults.
- Access code protection of all system settings and alarm reset for maximum accountability
Call Point
- WES+ call points are the primary alert units in the WES wireless emergency system range.
- Call points incorporates fire alarm sounder, optional strobe alert and a manual call point for activating the alarm.
- Units are installed in accordance with the fire plan and when commissioned, will create a secure mesh network, forming a site-wide alarm.
- Long battery life, reduces lifetime costs and need for constant replacement.
- Unique identification pinpoints which units trigger in the event of an alarm.
- Add, remove and clone units in a few button presses.
- Transit mode to allow safe removal and storage without any risk of activation.
Interface
The WES+ Interface unit connects the WES+ temporary fire alarm to other alarms, building management and emergency systems, making sure the complete system works together.
- WES+ fire alarm Interface allows the WES+ temporary fire alarm to connect to other building management and emergency systems, making sure the complete system works together.
- The WES+ Interface unit will trigger and external system, or be triggered by an external system e.g. auto-dialer or access control.
- Interface units do not connected to mains current and only suitably qualified person should connect the WES+ Interface to external systems.
Link Unit
- The WES+ Radio Repeater Link unit is a simple and cost-effective way to extend the range of the WES+ temporary fire alarm system on large-scale sites.
- Simply connect to existing WES+ units, set up on site and the unit will act as a relay to link together, separated sections of the site.
- The link unit incorporates the same long battery life and anti-tamper controls to ensure system integrity and compliance.
- Transit mode to allow safe removal & storage without risk of activation
Dust-resistant Smoke & Heat detectors
- WES+ smoke & heat detectors protect the site around the clock. Battery powered automatic detectors are easy to install, straightforward to use and can be operational within minutes.
- The range includes standard and dust-resilient smoke and heat detectors.
- Detection units are silent and connect directly to the WES+ system to activate the fire alarm system across the site in the event of smoke and heat detection.
- Long battery life, reduces lifetime costs and need for constant replacement.
- Once activated, the detector unit flashes red LED for 30 minutes to enable easy identification.
- All detectors send and receive radio signals, for maximum robustness of network coverage.
- Early warning of fire risk to all site staff during the working day and site protection out of hours.
