Product Focus

Today (Monday 15th February 2010) Notifier launched the ground breaking digital protocol of automatic detection called OPAL

Notifier's new OPAL digital detection range

The product is a revolution for the Notifier brand and is in fact two protocols in one, the traditional CLIP protocol and the new digital OPAL protocol.

What does this mean for the users?

The new range can be used on the existing Notifier systems as CLIP protocol and in the newer panels can fulfil the potential that the OPAL range has to offer including;

The new protocol will provide up to 318 devices per loop (On the new panel range), increasing the loop loading capacity, built in loop isolators and advanced fault finding capabilities designed to speed up troublesome wiring issues during the ever pressured commissioning stage of the new installation.

The use of intelligent systems in the UK has seen some changes throughout the history of automatic fire detection and alarm systems and now WFP are pleased to be able to offer this new and powerful digital protocol to our customers.

Please call our office and ask how the new digital system can provide a fire detection and alarm solution for you.  0845 481 0307.

Key advantages of Notifier (by Honeywell)

1. Long Term - Its tried and tested and is based on a platform of backwards compatibility, in short its here for the long term

2. Easy set up -  It is a solid analogue system using a simple dial address setting

3. Reliable – Backwards compatibility is a key strength of the Notifier product and recently we have upgraded Notifier systems that were installed over fifteen or twenty years ago.

The older range of Notifier systems include;

ID 200, ID 1000, AFP panels

4. The Brand – Solid and good quality

The current ID range consists of the ID50, ID60, ID2000 and the superb ID3000.

The ID50 is the entry level single loop addressable control panel running the SDX-751 optical smoke detector, for greater cause and effect programming the ID60 is available in the single loop market. If you need greater device loading then the multi-loop ID2000 can cost effectively run up to eight loops and for the larger and more complex multiloop sites the ID3000 is available.

XPander – Wire-Free devices on a Wired system

Wire-Free fire alarm devices on a wired loop

Radio devices that can now be connected to an existing fire detection system running the world class Apollo XP95 protocol.

If the panel that is installed runs this protocol then the XPander  product can be used.

WFP are at the forefront of utilising technology to the benefit of our customers and are pleased to announce that following an evaluation period and full product training by the manufacturer we can now offer a hybrid solution for our customers.

• Temporary building works
• Temporary buildings within schools
• Aesthetically sensitive buildings
• Asbestos issues affecting a wired solution

XPander is a system in which individual detectors, call points and alarm devices communicate with the XP95 loop by radio signals. An interface is connected to the loop in the same way as any other interface, such as an Input/Output Unit.

Radio on wired

Every XPander device is assigned an address and this address is recognised by the control panel in the same way as is the address of any device connected directly to the loop wiring.

The XPander range consists of:

• Optical Smoke Detector
• Multisensor Smoke Detector
• A1R Heat Detector
• CS Heat Detector
• Sounder
• Sounder Beacon
• Manual Call Point
• Interface Module
