Digital Protocol
for flexible installation
The digital protocol has been used in the marine and
offshore industries for over 20 years and has been
proven to withstand poor, damp and damaged cables in
the most hostile environments. FireClass uses a robust
digital protocol that supports various wiring configurations
to simplify installation and retrofit applications easily.
FireClass is flexible for all types of environments where
people, property and asset protection is important, from
schools and hospitals to offices, industrial and retail premises.
Easy to install
Ease of installation and engineering underpins the concept
of FireClass. It runs throughout the product range.
For example panel installation is simplified by allowing
electronics to be easily removed for first fix while simple
user-friendly configuration software and fault finding tools
speed up commissioning.
Field device installation is simplified through the flexibility
of the FireClass digital protocol and other features such
as the ceiling tile adaptor that can significantly speed up
detector installation.

 FireClass
Detection Range
Resilience to false alarms is highly important for any
detection system. The FireClass range of high
quality optical smoke and multi-sensor smoke
detectors and triple sensor detectors provide
the ultimate in false alarm rejection.
With “two-detectors-in-one” this allows
various false alarm reduction strategies and
the Day/Night mode reduces false alarms when
the building is occupied.

The FireClass range of detectors include

separate optical and heat, combined
optical and heat, and Triple Sensing
technology combining CO, optical and
heat in one detector.

Detector bases and accessories

The range of standard, isolator,
sounder and sounder/beacon bases
can be programmed via a download
to adjust volume and tone.
The analogue addressable indoor
and outdoor call-points are suitable

 FireClass
Loop Programmer
The FireClass programming tool allows the fire alarm
engineer to quickly address detectors, callpoints
and accessories and also provides useful diagnostic
functions. Not only saving time, but providing valuable
device information, the LCD screen displays
confirmation of the device address and can also
provide status information with sensor readings in
degrees C, percentage obscuration of smoke and
carbon monoxide levels in parts per million.
Programming Tool
enables safer and easier
installation and program-
ming of detectors.

FireClass
Graphics Software
FCG - FireClass Graphics is based on a graphical
alarm monitoring system that has been installed on
many large fire detection and alarm monitoring
systems around the world and provides
annunciation, status display, and control for
FireClass networks.

This Microsoft Windows® based graphical interface

with a high resolution colour display includes
responsive on-screen buttons with configurable icons
to control switches specific to the operation required.
Utilising a combination of symbols, floor plans,
pictures, text, voice messages and video input,
FCG displays the precise location and gives
instructions on what emergency action should be
taken. A detailed map of the area affected can be
printed automatically for use by emergency
response personnel.
