Fireco – ‘Introduction to DMS’
Digital Messaging Service (DMS) is a mass notification system that can send emergency text, email, Whatsapp or voice messages to an unlimited amount of users who are subscribed to the service.
DMS allows you to set up alerts for many scenarios and can help a wide variety of businesses. For example, in the fire industry, DMS can be used for pre-alarm notifications and evacuation alerts. For the security industry, it can be used for CCTV camera activations or access control breaches.

Rottguard – Direct Acting Low Pressure (DLP) fire suppression systems
Rottguard manufactures direct acting low pressure (DLP) fire suppression systems, using heat sensitive pneumatic tubes, for the protection of unoccupied spaces. DLP systems comply with PED, 97/23/EC and offer round the clock protection from the devastating consequences of fire, having been tested to LPS 1666 and internationally recognised test fires, as per NFPA, AS ISO & I.S. EN standards.
DLP systems extinguish fire automatically, when the 6mm pressurised tube, attached to the non-conductive clean agent extinguishant storage vessel burst; on exposure to flames in access of 80°C, thus releasing the gaseous suppressant, orientated in the direction of the fire; leaving no residue.
Such extinguishment of the fire at source generally only necessitates the replacement of the individual faulty component within an enclosure; thereby minimising operating down time and repair costs. Find out more at Tech Talks!
