How does Remotest™ work?

Remotest™ incorporates a concealed arm which is remotely actuated and rotates and positions in front of the OSID detector, proving both ‘Fault’ and ‘Fire’ functionality.

The self-test function is either configured to operate via the Fire Alarm system or built in Wi-Fi operated via an internet browser.

Remotest™ requires a low voltage 24v dc supply and incorporates space to accommodate loop powered Fire Alarm modules for Gent by Honeywell and Apollo Fire Detection protocols.

Applications

Their anti-ligature design means that they are perfect for anti-vandal applications, such as for Hospitals, Mental Health Wards and Prisons. The shock-resistant metal faceplate is fitted with anti-tamper screws, ensuring that the detector is completely secure and minimises safety hazards in healthcare and custodial environments.

Fixfire® offer a unique, custom surface-mount option for concrete ceilings, where a hole would have to be cut out for the flush system to be installed. This offers a bolt-on alternative that provides the same anti-tamper solution.

Additionally, the sleek, flat design of flush-mounted detectors offers an aesthetic and discrete solution for environments such as art galleries or luxury hotels. With faceplates available in both white and black, they blend seamlessly into most ceiling finishes, maintaining the visual integrity of interior spaces without compromising on safety.

Installation Conditions

Flush Fire Detectors are only compatible with 24v dc addressable fire alarm systems operating the ‘Apollo’ protocol. As they are not mains or battery powered, they are not typically suitable for small residential premises such as houses or flats and are only used in commercial buildings.

Additionally, Flush Fire Detectors do not come with built-in sounders, so separate audible warning devices must be installed to meet compliance standards. If you're considering these detectors as part of your fire safety solution, it's important to assess whether your current system includes compatible sounders. If not, while there are flush and discreet sounder options available, the additional equipment and installation requirements could lead to higher overall costs than initially expected.

When not to use

It's essential to understand where Flush Fire Detectors may not be appropriate. These detectors are sometimes purchased without full awareness of their intended applications, which can lead to increased costs, delays, and compromised fire safety. To ensure effective protection and compliance, avoid installing Flush Fire Detectors in the following environments:

  • Areas exposed to steam, high dust levels, or fumes (bathrooms, kitchens, rest rooms). This is due to the sensors not being able to distinguish the difference between this and smoke.
  • Rooms smaller than 1m x 1m.
  • Locations without 500mm clearance on all sides.
  • Near doorways - door movement can trigger false alarms.
  • Close to lights or air conditioning units - may interfere with sensor detection.
  • Residential homes - incompatible with domestic detection systems.
  • Kitchen applications - smoke-only detection inappropriate for cooking areas.
