THE CYGNUS SYSTEM
COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE
The Cygnus Alarm system is fully compliant for use on construction sites. We understand the legislation that applies. Read more about the relevant regulations that cover their use.
unrivalled connectivity
Cygnus covers impressive distances and huge areas due to a meshing system which allows devices to communicate through one another and not directly to the control panel.
A solution for every site
The Cygnus system can be configured to suit your bespoke requirements, including GSM capability and intruder alarms etc. Contact us for bespoke solutions.
low cost of ownership
Cygnus alarms have a low cost of ownership. Manufactured with long life batteries, all components are demountable in case of damage so parts can be replaced individually.
intended use
The Cygnus fire alarm system is able to link no less than 480 units in 15 zones. Individual units may be either a fire alarm call point, first aid alert point, smoke detector, heat detector and the new combined call point/first aid alert alarm. Further capabilities include out-of-hours notifications via an auto dialling panel to key holders. Cygnus has been specifically designed for use in dense concrete and steel structured buildings, and areas where there are many other radio frequencies in use. Particular attention has been given therefore to achieving an extremely long range connection and distances in excess of 1.5km have been recorded in an open air environment. Whilst this range is not guaranteed on site due to limiting obstacles, Cygnus covers impressive distances and huge areas due to a meshing system which allows devices to communicate through one another and not directly to the panel.

CYG4L – Cygnus Lithium Smoke Detector
Cygnus lithium smoke detectors have an optical smoke sensor and are an integral part of the system, providing essential detection in and out of working hours on all types of construction projects. Optical smoke detectors work using the light scatter principle. The detector changes to alarm state at a pre-set threshold of smoke penetration into[…]
CYG5 – Cygnus First Aid Alert Point
The Cygnus first aid alert point has been designed to operate differently from all other types of alerts and alarms. Once triggered the fi rst aid alert will beep intermittently every 8 seconds at 85 decibels. The control panel notifies the user the exact location within a zone where the alarm has been triggered. This helps[…]
CYGDI – Cygnus Detector Interface
The Cygnus detector interface has been purposely built for use with the ALMWS01 smoke, ALMWS02 heat and ALMWS04 CO detectors. These detectors are radio linked and are designed to work in groups of up to eleven detectors per interface. The interface module can be assigned to a zone and has an individual unit number like[…]
CYGIOU – Cygnus Input/ Output Unit
The Cygnus input/output unit has been designed for interfacing with other fire systems, turnstile gate entry systems and door release systems. In the case of an alarm activation, the interface will trigger the door release and will deactivate the turnstile so a quick evacuation can be made to the assembly point. Where a site has[…]
PIR – PIR Intruder Sensor
The PIR functionality is available on all Cygnus alarms. This additional feature helps utilise fire, first aid alarms, and detectors for intruder activities. PIR works with the CYG1-GSM/GPRS control panel and sends users an SMS text alert should an intrusion occur. Alerts can also be sent to a third party monitoring station. The sensors are[…]
