Cygnus brings SmartNet solutions to Fire Safety Matters Live Coventry

“SmartNet has transformed fire safety since its launch to market two years ago, becoming a preferred choice across various sectors, from commercial properties through to public institutions,” stated Stephen Marsh, head of sales at Cygnus. “We are excited to be presenting our SmartNet range and accessories at Fire Safety Matters Live Coventry and we’ll demonstrate the continued evolution of our products.”

SmartNet is a BS 5839-1 compliant system. It’s up to 20 times faster to install than wired systems with minimal disruption, significantly reducing downtime and disturbance to daily operations and building occupants.

The SmartNet network is built on a combination of radio devices operating on a patented self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh network with multipath network redundancy using innovative channel hopping technology to deliver a reliable and robust solution.

SmartNet-Pro offers a scalable solution with the capability for each panel to connect 511 devices and up to 96 zones, with networking of up to five panels available via a software release code, in turn providing a combined solution of over 2,500 devices.

While SmartNet-Pro caters for the larger applications, SmartNet 100 provides all of the key benefits of SmartNet-Pro in a more cost-effective solution, designed to support a maximum of 100 devices. SmartNet-100 is best suited for small-to-medium applications where the scalability of the SmartNet-Pro isn’t going to be required.

Accessories range

Members of the Cygnus team will also be on hand at the CBS Arena to talk through the Cygnus accessories range. Those accessories include:

Cygnus ALERT

The perfect remote notification and monitoring complement to Cygnus’ 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 presents easy user management to view and notify across multiple sites and a variety of environments

Cygnus Configuration Software Tool and Mesh Analyser

Simplifies system set-up and provides complete system visibility, including radio communication paths, signal integrity and diagnostics, while ‘cause and effect’ functionality can be set up through the configurator. It delivers a more efficient installation and commissioning process, ensuring installers and end users have a robust and stable network from the outset

Portable Programming Unit (PPU)

Helps with the planning and deployment of the SmartNet system. The PPU allows installers to deliver firmware and configuration updates to devices wirelessly while they’re on site, making the process faster and more efficient for areas that are hard to access

Site Survey Kit

Streamlines the planning and deployment of SmartNet fire detection and alarm systems, allowing installers to deploy three bespoke detectors that replicate the mesh network to ensure the suitability of the system for the environment
