EMS Wireless fire alarms - Professional radio fire alarm systems

The EMS Group has been developing and manufacturing radio components in excess of 30 years and has supplied over 50,000 systems to the security and fire industry for installation in some of the most prestigious and important buildings in the UK.

Recognized for the highest quality radio technology available within the industry, EMS developed (probably the most advanced of its type in the world) a unique digitally processed analogue addressable radio fire detection system 5000.

System 5000 was first introduced into the UK market in 1997 after 4 years’ research. There are now a substantial number of installations ranging through universities, commercial premises, schools, industrial sites and heritage buildings. Some systems are for temporary protection whilst the greater majority have been installed to overcome the problems associated with cabling.

There are a wide variety of controllers, transponders, detectors, call points, radio sounders, radio interface units available to achieve economical system design for any type of application, whether it is a completely new fire system, an extension to an existing system, temporary protection or changing standards. System 5000 will provide the economic solution.

System 5000 uniquely operates on frequencies, which avoid signal clash, and ensures substantial range for command signals.
Device reporting VHF 173 MHz
Command signalling UHF 459 MHz
Panel communication UHF 459 MHz

Site coding, quality design of transmitters and experience with 50,000 installations ensures no cross interference with other fire, intruder or nurse call systems or interference with/from mobile telephones, 2 way telephone systems, radar or microwave installations.

Attempted deliberate interference is immediately reported as a system fault.
All System 5000 radio components are fully tested and approved by the DTI Radio Communications Agency to MPT 1305 and MPT 1328.
Components are designed and manufactured by EMS to ISO 9001. All components are CE tested and approved. Controllers are millennium compliant.

System 5000 conforms to BS 5839 and EN54 Parts 2 and 4.
To meet the ever increasing requirement for system flexibility, the main controller's range is available in 4 models, each of which can be supported by remote modem, repeater and mimic panels, transponders and/or remote receivers.

This range of controllers provide the system designer with solutions for every fire alarm application due to the radio "wirefree" communication employed.
