The multinational power management giant is pitching BiWire Ultra at environments – such as primary schools, small hotels, offices, restaurants and retail stores – where standard conventional systems are typically installed. Unlike standard conventional systems, the BiWire Ultra allows all detectors, call points and notification devices to share the same zone wiring, slashing cabling requirements by up to 50%.
Supporting the launch Eaton has developed a new CPD-certified seminar to educate electrical engineers and installers on the different type of fire systems available and how two-wire can cut costs compared with a conventional system.
“Our new BiWire Ultra system has been designed with simplicity in mind,” says Chris Anderson, business leader for fire products at Eaton. “It is quick and easy to install, reducing cabling costs and the time spent programming and operating the system.
“Feedback from our customers has so far been extremely positive.”
BiWire Ultra comprises a fire-alarm control panel and a range of call points, a five-in-one fire detector and EN 54-23 approved beacons and sounder beacons. The system is conformant to the requirements of BS5839-1.
The system boasts the following features:
Continues Anderson: “The BiWire Ultra range is the first of its type to offer EN 54-23 approved beacons so, whatever the risk assessment, premises fitted with a BiWire Ultra system comply with the latest standards for fire notification.
“However, the legal and moral obligations of fire safety are not only concerned with installation but also ongoing maintenance and testing, and BiWire Ultra is designed to make that process straightforward. With all of this in mind, we believe this range will appeal to a diverse cross-section of small and medium-sized premises where owners need protection without problems.”
