Fit for purpose
30 June 2015
A major expansion by Gym Group, a UK leading gym operator, has seen new fire safety systems, using Kentec fire alarm control panels, installed in new premises across the country to protect users and staff.

The fire safety systems at twenty-one of the Gym Group’s latest locations have been engineered and installed by independent system specialists Southern Fire Alarms, using Kentec Syncro AS fire control panels with Hochiki open communications protocol.
24-hour member access means that gyms are not always staffed, so consideration had to be given to the positioning and accessibility of the fire control panels. Kentec’s unique tamper resistant window was chosen to protect the fire alarm panels from unauthorised access to its controls, whilst allowing access to the LED display and Zonal indicators.
Fire alarm indicators were designed into each system to provide visual naming of alarm activation.
