Cygnus ALERT under discussion at Fire Safety Matters Live Manchester

The Cygnus team will be available to discuss the recently launched Cygnus ALERT, the remote notification and monitoring solution that adds to Cygnus’ EN 54-certified and 100% wireless SmartNet range of fire detection and alarm systems. Using Cygnus ALERT, installers and site administrators can receive event, fault or mesh information in real-time, enabling swift responses to on-site situations. Cygnus ALERT affords easy user management to view and notify across multiple sites.

In addition to Cygnus ALERT, the new Cygnus Mesh Analyser will be on display. The latter provides an enhanced diagnostic and maintenance tool, delivering a graphical display of mesh signal strengths and connection paths for each device in the system.

Further, the Cygnus Mesh Analyser aids the commissioning process of fire safety systems, shows the device history and provides suggestions in terms of how to strengthen the network.

The Cygnus stand will also feature SmartNet . The SmartNet network is built on a combination of radio devices, operating on a self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh network with multipath network redundancy using channel hopping technology and delivering a reliable and robust solution.

Additionally, SmartNet is BS 5839-1 compliant and up to 20 times faster to install than wired systems with minimal disruption at the host premises.

For its part, SmartNet-Pro offers a scalable solution with the capability for each panel to connect 511 devices and up to 96 zones. It’s possible to network up to five panels. SmartNet-Pro provides a solution of over 2,000 devices.

While SmartNet-Pro caters for larger applications, SmartNet-100 (pictured) provides all the key benefits of SmartNet-Pro in a more cost-effective solution and is designed to support a maximum of 100 devices. As such, SmartNet-100 is best suited for small through to medium-sized applications where the scalability of the SmartNet-Pro isn’t required.
