EMS Ltd.

SmartCell is the newly developed “smart” fire system designed for smaller properties and SME’s. With “EMS” technology inside, SmartCell provides big system features, benefits and protection in a compact, yet powerful system, that supports up to 64 fire devices. Using next generation wireless technology, SmartCell is a connected system that allows users and service companies full remote access and diagnostics using an optional “on board” communications module. Any activity on SmartCell can be transmitted by text or email, almost instantaneously giving up to the minute information on what’s happening in the protected building.

The EMS Wireless Door Controller (WDC) is BS7273-4 and EN certified and provides a fast and efficient way of providing effective door control. Using EMS FireCell wireless 868 MHz technology the WDC seamlessly integrates into any FireCell system and can be added to a Radio Cluster Communicator (RCC), Radio Loop Module (RLM) or a Wireless Zone Monitor (WZM). The WDC takes a single address and like all other FireCell devices can be incorporated into any cause and effect programming. Despite recent campaigns against wedging fire doors open, it is still a huge problem in all buildings and contravenes building safety regulations. The use of FireCell WDC overcomes this problem, simply, without protracted delays and is cost effective.

The EMS FireCell fire detection platform has been developed and engineered in the UK to meet the stringent demands of building users and owners, and to make compliance with local fire standards and legislation, easier and quicker to implement. Using the EMS ethos of pioneering and focusing on wireless technology for almost 60 years, FireCell has become the first choice whenever wireless or hybrid technology is specified. From a few devices, up to multiple control panels wirelessly networked, FireCell is flexible, scalable, as well as being easy to install, commission and service, and has become the system of choice for many specifiers and end users alike. Since its launch, FireCell has undergone many updates and revisions, making it not only the most reliable and robust wireless platform, but also the most trusted. Incremental improvements, as well as the introduction of new devices and architecture have ensured that FireCell is selected whenever wireless fire detection technology is desired. FireCell uses Alkaline battery technology, that is both economical and reliable. All fire devices have two sets of batteries to meet BS:5839 requirements, and with unique EMS battery management the 3-year mandatory life expectancy (EN54-25) is exceeded, with typically a 5-year life based on normal usage. Each FireCell detector, for example, would require a battery change around year 5 at a cost of a couple of pounds per set. This makes FireCell ownership both cost effective and stress free
