Fast detection

Innovative detection algorithms simultaneously convert signals such as smoke density and temperature into mathematical gradients and constantly evaluate according to present values. Carbon monoxide detection is combined with this unique technology providing optical, thermal and electrochemical CO sensors, which offer extremely fast detection as they continually monitor all three fire criteria – smoke, heat and carbon monoxide.

Superior intelligence

It is based on a modular and future-proof technology platform that employs detectors with unparalleled immunity to false deception. Advanced Signal Analysis (ASAtechnology) is integrated in the detector itself, making each device highly intelligent and 100% reliable.

Zero false alarms

Every detector is configured with a unique set of parameters for each location, enabling the system to differentiate between a real indicator of fire and false fire phenomena, such as steam, fumes, humidity or a change in temperature.

Secure, reliable fire system operation

If there is power failure during a fire, there is no loss of device and alarms are still reported even in degrade mode; sounders will still function as designed, and cause & effect will continue to operate throughout the entire fire system network. Furthermore, advanced system architecture shares information and collective responsibility, enhancing system resilience through distributed decision making.

Maximum availability

The Sinteso FC2080 fire panel offers exceptional power; as one single unit it can manage up to 5,000 peripheral devices and detectors, as well as store circa 13,000 events in its memory. Developed specifically to manage larger, complex fire systems that demand the highest safety standards, it delivers maximum system availability due to multiple redundancies, so in the event of power failure it will maintain functionality, as well as enable continuity of alarms.

Future-proof technology

The Sinteso product portfolio delivers a lengthy forward lifecycle. Siemens’ fire portfolio roadmap ensures customers are always offered full forwards/ backwards compatibility. This safeguards against obsolescence, facilitates hybrid systems, enables customers to benefit from latest developments and delivers business continuity.

A fire industry milestone

Sinteso is not just a smart fire safety system, it also offers innovative smart testing to ensure detectors remain operational throughout the test process, meaning no loss of coverage. This is a significant advantage over conventional technologies that effectively require a zone or line of devices to become inoperable during the test process.

Smart Test enables all systems to be tested without losing any coverage, even during normal working hours, and without causing costly unwanted evacuations. The outcome means business continuity is ensured, fire safety performance is maintained, and engineering resources are utilised more efficiently.

Service efficiencies

Smart Test enables a full analysis of your Sinteso fire system, with no loss of functionality during the test process. Siemens has made this possible by developing detectors that don’t require the isolation of output controls during testing, and importantly, detectors and zones are never put into a test mode that could mask a real fire. Furthermore, a suite of innovative smart tools, including mobile apps, enable testing to be carried out by a single engineer.

Non-invasive testing

Sinteso smart devices ‘self-monitor’, constantly evaluating and seeking out any potential faults to ensure system availability; this enables reduced service costs by extending the functional test from 12 months to 24-36 months. Furthermore, innovative Clean Testing using light particles instead of synthetic products or corrosive smoke capsules, prevents contamination within the detector and increases lifespan; even multiple, continuous testing will not impact the operation of the Sinteso detector.

Desigo CC The Desigo CC platform is highly scalable, offering software that will control small to medium installations, right through to the most complex fire safety systems. It delivers a single point of entry for users to operate, monitor and optimise their fire safety system. You will benefit from major advances in fire safety software development and gain from greater cyber protection.

Centralised control

Desigo CC offers all the benefits of an advanced fire management software platform, providing visibility of events and alarms, facilitating a fast and efficient response, displaying the status of fire detection devices in real time and improving safety by adopting a rule-based response to incidents.

User-centric design

A customisable interface supports multiple user profiles and provides each operative with the critical information they need. With its easy-to-read, workflow-driven interface, it displays the severity and category of each fire event, as well as the number of unacknowledged events. As a result, you will have better visibility and clarity of each event, enabling a faster and more informed response.

Multiple integrations

Not only does Desigo CC offer users the ability to operate, monitor and optimise fire safety, it also enables interoperability with other systems such as security, energy and power management. This integration capability delivers improved intelligence and situational awareness, and enables you to create a more automated, secure and energy efficient workplace.
