Honeywell, one of the leading brands in fire and life safety, today launched the first fire alarm system with EN-approved Self-Testing smoke detectors that can be tested automatically, changing the way fire and life safety systems are installed, tested and maintained. The NOTIFIER INSPIRETM fire alarm system with Self-Test detectors is designed to help create a safer building environment by increasing facility managers’ awareness of system needs while equipping service providers with digital Self-Testing tools that streamline maintenance and support regulatory compliance and system uptime.
NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ is a high-speed fire alarm panel that delivers reliable protection, scalability, efficient monitoring, as well as flexible and timely reporting. It helps enhance fire technician efficiency as it is designed to scale based on the building’s needs, minimises the need for equipment changes, and provides secure connectivity.
A connected fire and life safety ecosystem
NOTIFIER INSPIRE series with Self-Test smoke detectors are securely enabled through Honeywell’s Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) cloud-based platform. CLSS provides real-time visibility of the fire system to installers, service technicians and facility managers, and allows technicians to diagnose and troubleshoot problems ahead of time, improving first-time fix rates and reducing time spent on-site.
A life safety system that grows with a building
NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ features modularity for easy expansion and upgrades, creating a system that grows with a building. The system reduces the amount of equipment needed, further decreasing potential maintenance, replacement parts and overall inventory management. Its modern and intuitive touchscreen display helps minimise human error while providing a stylish aesthetic. It can help enhance technician efficiency by minimising disruption, maximising remote productivity and supporting compliance.
A solution that Self-Tests and detects
NOTIFIER Self-Test eliminates many of the physical barriers during test and maintenance, such as locked rooms, high ceilings and other hard-to-access spaces – areas that often may go untested, which can ultimately put buildings at risk. The detectors introduce small amounts of heat and smoke into their own detection chambers, testing both the Optical and Thermal sensors as well as verifying that the smoke entry points are free of obstruction.
Most importantly, a single technician can initiate the test at the NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ panel for the entire building, minimising disturbances in working spaces and eliminating the need to access difficult-to-reach areas like elevator shafts. The inspection report is digitised and delivered electronically via the CLSS application within minutes –thus creating a complete end-to-end electronic audit trail to support full compliance.
NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ series with the Self-Test detector is currently available in UK, Germany, and Spain through NOTIFIER by Honeywell Partners and will be released across other parts of Europe in the near future.
