FIM Expo 2018 will feature two free seminars on BS 5839-1:2017, taking place 4 October 2018 in Doncaster.

Presented by FIA technical manager Will Lloyd the seminar will cover changes made to the standard since the 2013 version and conclude with an opportunity to ask questions.

Attendees will be eligible for a CPD certificate.

Topics include:

  • Multisensors in escape routes
  • L2 and L3 systems
  • Use of manual call point covers
  • ‘Place of ultimate safety’ and how this affects placement of call points
  • Communication with fire and rescue service
  • Staff alarms
  • Video fire detectors
  • Types of fire detectors and their selection
  • Spacing and siting of automatic fire detectors
  • Siting of optical beam smoke detectors
  • Power supplies and cabling

The seminars will take place at 11am and 2pm.

FIM Expo, run by the Fire Industry Association (FIA), will have a range of fire detection and alarm products on show from manufacturers.

A free lunch plus breaks with free tea and coffee and light refreshments provide a chance to network with other attendees.

The expo runs between 9.30am and 4pm.

The event is being held at Doncaster Racecourse, which is easily accessible from the A1 and M18 motorways by car, or a 10 minute cab ride from Doncaster train station (where a taxi rank is available). Free parking is available for all attendees.
