Cygnus — a major innovation in wireless emergency fire alarms for construction sites.

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.
