MAGNA HOUSING UTILISES AICO’S 3000 SERIES IN LD1 UPGRADE FOR SHELTERED HOUSING SCHEME… Aico’s 3000 Series: a vital component in Magna Housing’s safety upgrade
M agna Housing, a leading housing provider in the southwest of England, specified Aico’s 3000 series detectors to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its residents following a significant upgrade project in their sheltered and supported housing schemes to comply with the standards set out in BS5839:6 2019. Collaborating with T2 Fire & TECS, a Yeovil-based company that are specialists in fire detection and warden call solutions, Magna chose Aico’s 3000 Series detectors due to their advanced technology and full-circle protection capabilities. The primary issue faced by Magna Housing was the necessity to upgrade their fire detection and warden call systems to comply with the British Standards. The chosen solution to meet Magna Housing’s requirements was the installation of Aico’s 3000
region, such as successful installations at other housing providers, supported this choice. LD1 requires the installation of a comprehensive fire detection system, including fire alarms in every room except the bathroom and areas forming part of escape routes, along with a heat alarm in the kitchen. The Aico Relay Ei128RBU plays a crucial role in facilitating seamless integration between Aico’s fire detection and alarm systems and the warden call systems. This integration is essential in sheltered and supported housing schemes, where the quick response to emergencies is paramount. The recommendations from Aico and T2 Digital & TECS will lead to the successful installation of approximately 14,000 Aico devices. The seamless integration and wireless connectivity offered by Aico’s 3000 Series ensures quick response and enhanced protection for Magna’s valued residents.
Housing. As a contractor, it is our responsibility to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of the residents we serve, and this project allowed us to do just that. Working closely with Aico and Magna, we identified the need to achieve the highest level of fire protection, Category LD1, to ensure comprehensive safety coverage in the housing schemes. A pivotal element of our solution was the seamless integration of Aico fire alarms with the warden call system through the Aico Relay Ei128RBU. This ingenious product allowed us to connect fire alarms in every room, except for bathrooms, and areas forming escape routes, along with the installation of a heat alarm in the kitchen. The Aico Relay Ei128RBU proved to be a game changer, enabling immediate alerting and response to potential fire incidents. We take great pride in knowing that our integrated solution empowers Magna Housing to provide rapid and efficient responses during emergencies, enhancing the safety and security of the residents. We extend our gratitude to Magna Housing for trusting us with this critical project and for their unwavering commitment to resident safety.” For more information on the Aico 3000 Series, visit: www.aico.co.uk
