FIRE SAFETY Nittan Evolution Fire Detection: Unparalleled Design, Unique Features he Nittan Group has been at the forefront of the international fire Tprotection industry since 1954 and operates sales, R&D and manufacturing bases in Japan, China, Sweden and here in the UK. The company was established in 1972 in the UK and now supplies in excess of 500,000 detectors per year, all of which are made to marine standard for exceptional quality. Nittan’s Evolution analogue addressable and conventional fire detection equipment is renowned for its reliability with a very high degree of protection against false alarms. This equipment has been successfully operating in fire detection systems around the world for many years now, but most recently has been expanded to offer customers a first class and complete end-to-end BS EN 54-13:2005-certified systems solution. At the very heart of this first class Evolution system from Nittan are a number of unique features for the practising fire safety professional... Utmost reliability Evolution is based on Nittan’s advanced, highly flexible FSK digital open protocol, which is uniquely resistant to noise. The FSK protocol also allows for substantial amounts of information to be transmitted back to the panel, but without message collision and with minimal transmission errors due to a sophisticated data packet mechanism with built-in parity and check-sum features. The communication protocol is capable of very high speeds and not affected by the number of devices on the loop. Maximum flexibility Evolution comes with sophisticated EEPROM addressing and 254 addresses per loop for maximum flexibility and convenience in system design, as well as providing a highly cost-effective fire system solution from reduced cabling and installation work. Award-winning detection technology Nittan’s patented, awardwinning Dual Optical technology is unique to Nittan and provides an excellent solution to false alarms in those locations prone to steam and dust, including hotels, student accommodation, hospitals and other areas of multiple occupancy. Using the scattered light principle inherent in optical detectors, Nittan’s Dual Optical detectors go one step further and use both IR and blue LEDs to provide a more accurate measurement of particles within the chamber. By calculating the ratio of these light sources, which operate at different wavelengths, the detector can determine the particle size and distinguish between smoke and non-combustion products. This remarkable technology has been incorporated into Nittan’s Evolution EV-DP analogue addressable and EVC- DP conventional detectors. Comprehensive product range Using engineering expertise, Nittan’s Evolution fire detection products are designed to work together in perfect harmony and each type has been rigorously tested. Evolution detectors include Optical, Heat, Multi and Dual Optical variants. A number of detectors are unique to Nittan, including the Dual Optical (see above) and the EV-PS (which comes supplied with an in-built sounder for quick and simple installation). evo+ and Evolution Series fire alarm control panels are fully-compliant with BS EN54 Parts 2 and 4, with evo+ further certified to BS EN 54- 13:2005, the latest European Standard that ensures optimal fire system performance. Both ranges are built to meet the highest quality standards and provide many years of reliable service. Each has been designed with specific features and benefits in mind to suit different market segments. In addition, Evolution is home to a range of manual Call Points, DDA-compliant looppowered audio visual devices, modules for the monitoring and control of many types of third party equipment, isolators and plenty of accessories for all eventualities. All Evolution products come with EN54 approvals and are certified by either the LPCB, VdS, the DBI or Intertek for total peace of mind. www.nittan.co.uk 6 www.risk-uk.com
