Compact Fire Alarm System for Kindergartens, Hotels, Small B&Bs and Retirement Homes
Telenot has developed the Hifire 4100 XS fire alarm system especially to meet the needs of kindergartens, hotels or small B&Bs, and retirement homes. Telenot has started a new chapter in the book of single-loop fire alarm systems with the Hifire 4100 XS. It is compact in size, and the programming can be done either with or without a computer. It is intuitive to use and components can be connected either via a cable or wirelessly.
Telenot has continuously expanded its range of fire alarm products. The electronic safety technology experts have now introduced a fire alarm system, the Hifire 4100 XS, that is specifically designed for use in kindergartens, hotels or guesthouses with up to 60 beds, as well as in retirement homes. „This group of building types was largely unregulated for many years. The introduction of DIN VDE V 0826-2 however clearly defines the requirements that fire alarm systems in such situations must meet. So for example, it states that all the components must meet the EN-54 list“, explains Simon Schurr, Product Manager for fire alarm systems at Telenot.
Telenot wants to set a new level in the single-loop fire alarm market with this system. It can be easily set up with simple parameters for example, is easy to maintain and is reliable. It is simply commissioned at the main panel with the help of a configuration assistant that is built into the system and controlled via the app-based GUI on the 7-inch color touch display. This is where users are defined and passwords set, groups and detector numbers assigned, as well as user-specific customer texts entered. Alternatively, the Compas-F 4000 parameter setting software that is already used for multiple Telenot fire alarm products can be used here too.
Installation and Usage
Operation of the system via the display is just as easy. Visual menus and submenus with prompts and app symbols lead the user intuitively to the individual elements. Additional built-in status LEDs help to stay aware of the configuration and status of the fire alarm system at any time.
A further benefit is the installation: the system is compact and cleverly built from just three modules – a mother board in the case made of hot-dip galvanized and painted metal, an electronic unit that is fixed with just four screws to make installation and maintenance quick, and a signal white plastic cover in a timeless design.
The hybrid connection capability allows all types of detectors from Telenot to be connected to the system, either in the loop or wirelessly, which makes it equally easy to use in both new and old buildings. This means that up to 128 fire detectors or up to 254 loop components can be connected to the system. The loop components can be both automatically and manually addressed. In total, up to 999 detector groups can be set up, and the power supply is built in.
Optional Web Server
The Telenot Webserver 5088 can optionally be built in to provide a visual interface and as an interface for building management. In the future it will be possible to connect the Hifire 4100 XS to a fire brigade panel and/or a separate display.
The system also provides protection against short circuits, broken wires and faulty loop components. The short circuit and broken wire recognition is localized to show the exact location of the problem, directly to the central unit as well as when checking the loop.
