Fire and life safety systems are a necessary expense, but they can often cause headaches for construction, engineering, and building management teams throughout their lifecycle.
Antiquated fire alarm systems don’t provide technicians or building managers with the information they need, which can lead to extensive troubleshooting and costly repeat visits to diagnose and repair issues with the system.
The code-mandated systems also come with annual inspection requirements that can disrupt business operations and involve time-consuming trips from technicians.
Inspectors are often handcuffed by locked doors, difficult to reach detectors, and the complex system designs frequently required in large facilities.
Connected Life Safety Services
New products from Honeywell, like Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS), offer a solution to many of these problems for building managers, inspectors, and technicians.
Paired with new Notifier Inspire Series Fire Alarm Control Panels and Self-Testing Detectors, these innovative, code-compliant technologies provide scalable solutions to minimize disruptions while enhancing visibility and simplifying compliance reports.
CLSS can connect all the components of a fire alarm system through the cloud, allowing users to monitor their entire system from their computers and mobile devices, anytime, anywhere.
CLSS Accessibility
There are several ways that CLSS can be connected to a fire alarm system, using cellular, IP and/or Wi-Fi based pathways.
Common ways to connect a fire alarm to CLSS include:
- CLSS Gateway
- CLSS Pathway
- CLSS Third-Party Integration
- CLSS Horizon
CLSS Capabilities
CLSS Facility Manager provides an end user with access to several valuable details about their system(s), including:
- Real-time and historical events from their connected system(s), through both a browser and mobile application.
- Modern, compliant reporting data for their system(s), including common industry reports like NFPA test and inspection reports and record of completion reports.
- CLSS compliance manager details, including past, current, and future inspection statuses and deficiency management.
- System composition details, including device addresses, descriptions, history, photos, and equipment make/model.
When paired with other leading technologies, such as Notifier’s N16 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel with patented self-testing detectors, CLSS can minimize disruptions, and streamline the testing and inspection process, ensuring all mandated requirements are met throughout the process.
Tech Electronics Fire and Life Safety Technology Director Casey Bennett will be hosting a webinar on the benefits of CLSS, along with two panelists who have already implemented the technology, on Jan. 13. Together, they will demonstrate their real-world experience with the solution.
