Sabre

The Sabre conventional fire alarm system incorporating the Multipoint combined smoke and heat detector with built-in sounder means the whole system can be installed using only two pairs of wires.

Using the Fike Multipoint detector as part of the Sabre 2-wire fire alarm system means that when a detector is wired in, a sounder is too – with no extra wiring, therefore greatly reducing the number of points that need to be installed and the time it takes to install. As Multipoint offers 7 different modes of detection, the installation is made even simpler as this one device suits all applications. Whatever type of detection is required, for any part of the installation it can be selected by the flick of a switch at the time of commissioning. 3 different smoke modes, 2 fixed temperature heat modes, a rate of rise mode and a combination smoke or heat mode can be selected.

As the Multipoint detector is available with or without a full specification integral 90 dBA sounder (for only a marginal cost difference) no extra devices need to be purchased when audible warning is required. (As the built-in sounder meets the audibility levels recommended in BS5839 Part 1:2002.) If extra sound is required, or, for areas that do not require detection, then a choice of several different stand alone sounders can be used on the same two wires, as well as a call point/sounder combined unit and a sounder beacon.

The panel has the ability to differentiate between call point or detector alarm, can accommodate 32 devices per zone, has separate fault monitoring display for each zone, one man walk test facility and zones are configured without the need to use resistors or capacitors on unused zones. To make the Sabre system even more flexible,

Channel can also provide a special Output Unit. It can be situated anywhere on the zone circuit, and is ideal for connecting to plant shutdown, door release mechanisms etc.

All Sabre systems have the ‘Quantum’ alarm confirmation feature drastically reducing false alarms.

Repeater panels are also available for the Sabre system, which use key switch access and have the facilities of silence, sound alarms and reset.
