Silent Knight Addressable Fire Systems Make Maintenance Quicker, More Cost-Effective

With Silent Knight’s “Addressable Advantage,” Advanced Reporting, Problem Identification Help Systems Locate Maintenance Issues More Efficiently for Service Personnel

MAPLE GROVE , Minn . - Silent Knight, a Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company and provider of industry-wide compatible fire alarm solutions for small to mid-size institutions and commercial sites, offers fire alarm systems with advanced capabilities that can greatly facilitate maintenance procedures. Maintaining fire systems can often be an expensive, time-consuming proposition. Yet if not done frequently enough – or thoroughly enough - system effectiveness can be severely impacted.

The company’s core offering of addressable fire alarm control panels (FACPs), including its Farenhyt IFP Series and IntelliKnight products, provide a plethora of installation advantages over conventional systems that translate into reduced maintenance costs and enhanced system performance. At the core of these capabilities is the addressable system’s ability to communicate with every sensor and module in the fire system.  The panel can be queried to indicate NFPA compliance on all sensors within the system, and can provide detailed history reports on individual system components to enable easy maintenance and reduce false alarms. The specific features that expedite maintenance include:

Addressable Sensors and Modules . By using an addressable fire system from Silent Knight, every aspect of the system—from determining which device on the fire system is in alarm (or trouble) to providing detailed history on system activity—has pinpoint accuracy. This eliminates the need to painstakingly search for problem components, a problem that is common on conventional fire systems.

Advanced Maintenance Tools . Every Silent Knight addressable FACP uses advanced, PC-based tools to provide detailed reports for use during commissioning and troubleshooting. These reports will subsequently provide a wealth of information to the installers as well as maintenance personnel.

Built-in Communicator. Each Silent Knight FACP features built-in communication capability which allows the panel to provide detailed reports to central station and maintenance personnel. The system is so flexible, it can even be queried from an offsite location prior to a maintenance or service call. This helps establish the system status and highlight which components will need to be checked upon arrival, saving valuable time for service personnel.
