Apart from early smoke and fire detection systems, IDTek also installs fire panel systems. The GE Security fire panel systems are used because of their functionality, durability, reliability and also exceptional accuracy. The versatile fire panel systems include 16 to 64 display zones and incorporate advanced I/O features. The fire panel systems can operate a multiple panel network and have the ability to communicate with global repeaters. Service reminder signals are included as well as service switches. The fire panel system allows for online statistics as well as diagnostics and features automated time on and off zones. It also features a day or night setting ensuring ultimate fire panel control.

IDTek incorporates various fire suppression technologies for the protection of building and equipment including ANSUL® INERGEN® fire suppression technologies. The ANSUL® INERGEN® fire protection systems are well-suited for close areas where immediate reaction to a fire may be required. Such instances include areas such as hotels, halls, night clubs and any area where more conventional methods cannot be applied. The technology used is environmental friendly and also safe to use around humans. A flammable liquid fire can be extinguished in around 21 seconds depending on the liquid, heat and other factors. IDTek uses fire suppression technologies in combination with fire and smoke detection systems for the protection of buildings.

The Honeywell smoke sensor Filtrex as available from IDTek is well-suited for areas where dust particles may hinder early smoke detection and may also cause false alarms. The Filtrex smoke sensor has a protective casing for the smoke sensor compartment to prevent false alarms. It is well-suited for any area where heat sensing may be the only alternative to early fire detection. The Honeywell Filtrex smoke sensor draws air into a chamber where particles and mist are removed. The smoke level is assessed through a sensor and communicated through a line to the control panel system. IDTek incorporates various Honeywell Life Safety products to ensure maximum building protection against fires. Various other Honeywell products are also available through us.

By the time a fire is detected in a building it is often too late to do anything about it, but to evacuate. The secret to preventing a full blown disaster lies in VESDA smoke detectors which provide early warning of smoke. The pre-combustion stage is the best time to prevent a fire from spreading through a building. The second level is visible smoke and for this there should also be smoke detectors before the visible flames and uncontrollable heat phases set in. VESDA smoke detectors as available through IDTek can be set-up for early detection and alarming of smoke particles ensuring minimal loss of equipment, structure, and ultimately lives. The VESDA smoke detectors work well in office blocks, archives, power stations, museums and any area where conventional smoke detection systems often fail.

Aspirated smoke detector systems are based on the application of nephelometers which enable the early detection of minuscule particles of smoke that hang in the air. This is made possible through the detection of scattered light from the combustion particles in the sample compartment. Aspirated means drawn in. It is exactly how the aspirated smoke detector systems operate. Smoke is drawn in to a chamber where the light scattered from particles will be detected and the alarm set. A fan is required to draw air into the sample chamber or compartment. VESDA is a brand of aspirated smoke detector systems and is available from IDTek. Early warnings of smoke ensure that buildings can be evacuated in time and that valuable equipment can be saved.
