Fire Protection At A Turkish Hotel

Apr 1, 2007 12:00 PM

Acomprehensive fire detection system from Bosch Security Systems, Denmark, has been installed in the Kempinski Hotel The Dome in Turkey. Opened in 2005, the luxury hotel is located on the Mediterranean coast near the ancient harbour city of Antalya.

The fire detection system, installed during the building of the hotel, comprises detectors from Bosch's 400 and 500 Series and Universal Fire panels that feature associated interface, alarm and control equipment.

Flush-mounted 500 Series automatic smoke detectors are installed in the hotel's Royal Suite, the General Manager's office and the automation control room to ensure protection aesthetically — without compromising safety requirements.

The hotel has deployed Bosch 400 Series smoke or heat detectors in the its 157 guest rooms, public areas and 18 private villas. A total of 1,092 detectors are installed throughout the complex and are connected through Bosch's Local Security Network (LSN) to three Universal Fire Panels located in the automation room.

Bosch's LSN is a freely configurable security system that offers a choice of fire, intrusion and malfunction detectors, operator units and arming devices from multiple manufacturers. The system in use at the Kempinski Hotel The Dome is configured in a loop set-up providing automatic component identification and address assignment support. The system also allows easy connection of additional detectors if required.

The three 2000 Series LSN fire panels are configured in a System Ring Technology (SRT) network to provide reliable and malfunction-tolerant operation at all times. Each panel has a maximum of 96 LEDs indicating faults and/or alarms on detectors or in the hotel's 14 detector zones.

A 1000 Series remote operating panel is located in the reception area to allow front desk personnel to monitor the status of the fire alarm system. In addition to the status of the fire alarm system, the panels indicate the status of the water extinguishing system, including butterfly valves, flow switches, wet alarm valves and pumps.

The system was installed by Bosch's Turkish distributor for fire systems Saglam Yangin Güvenlik Ltd.
