Hyfire wireless devices chosen to protect landmark Stavanger office building

A total of 35 Hyfire wireless devices, connected to an Advanced MxPro fire panel, have been installed in the commercial and industrial building, which was constructed from concrete in 2010 with concrete floor dividers.

The system is now used not only for fire detection, but also for the release of INERGEN gas extinguishant. If two wireless detectors are in alarm, the Hyfire wireless input/output modules will activate the solenoids on the gas bottles and INERGEN gas is then released.

“We’re thrilled to showcase the capabilities of the Hyfire brand through this installation, which happens to be in our own building,” said Torger Nordbø, project engineer at Holta & Håland Safety. “We completed a detailed site survey using Hyfire’s TauREX software to ensure optimal locations for the detectors, translators and expanders, resulting in a robust and reliable connection. The ease of installation and the system's reporting features are a significant benefit for both ourselves as the installer and our end user client.”

Nordbø added: “The wireless system was integrated into the building for comprehensive testing and presentations, functioning as a full-scale demo and test facility, as well as a live and active fire system. Despite numerous changes and alarms due to its daily use, the system has proven its resilience and demonstrated flawless operation.”

Exceeding expectations

Karleif Holta, general manager of the Randabergporten, remarked: “The Hyfire system has exceeded our expectations in every respect. The convenience of wireless installation, the adaptability of the system to our building and the safety it ensures for our tenants are all second to none. We’re happy to be serving as a showcase for this technology and look forward to witnessing the further impact of Hyfire ‘sdevices in the Norwegian marketplace.”

Tom Crane, international director at Hyfire, concludedd: “We’re delighted with the positive feedback from our second project with Holta & Håland Safety. As more installers and end user customers in Norway recognise the logistical and cost benefits to be derived from wireless fire technology, we anticipate seeing more Hyfire devices integrated into fire systems right across the country.”
