Fire systems protect data centre

Advanced’s Québec partner Roberts Fire Protection was selected to provide over 200 smoke detectors, 120 horn strobes, 40 pull stations, 12 Vesda units, three network panels, a BMS interface, an annunciator and other ancillary equipment, all controlled by and linked to three Axis AX fire panels. The Axis panels are then integrated with a third-party control panel that operates the sprinkler preaction system.

Francis Jean, director general of Roberts Fire Protection, said: “The Advanced panels will play a pivotal role in protecting over C$100 million worth of equipment in the centre.”
