Working in partnership with Fire Action, Hyfire’s world-beating Taurus wireless fire devices have been installed at the prestigious Crowborough Beacon Golf Club. The rapid specification and installation was necessitated by the unexpected failure of the club’s previous fire system.
Crowborough Beacon Golf Club is one of the premier clubs in the South East. With the golf club lacking adequate fire alarm coverage due to the previous system’s failure, a quick and efficient solution was imperative. The Hyfire Taurus wireless system, comprising 46 devices, along with a fire panel, translator, expanders, and base sounders, turned out to be the ideal solution, given its seamless integration and minimal disturbance to the club’s aesthetics and structure.
John Fletcher, Fire Safety Surveyor at Fire Action, explained the project’s criticality: “When we were approached by the club regarding their fire alarm system failure, we knew that time was of the essence. Normally, these things can be planned over time and the installation can be conducted with the existing system still in operation, but we didn’t have that luxury here.
“Using a wireless system was crucial due to the historic nature and decor of the building, as well as the need to get the new system live as rapidly as possible. The collaboration with Hyfire and the timely support from Gemma, who conducted the wireless survey for us, ensured we could install and commission the new system in record time.”
Hyfire offers the widest range of commercial standard wireless fire devices on the market, ranging from optical, multi-criteria and heat detectors to EN54-23 Approved VAD’s, all fully certified to EN54. All products offer the highest performance and quality in the industry, and are also fully compliant with BS5839 Part 1. Fire panels are wired via a loop to translators, from which wireless devices can be used on their own to build fully wireless systems of virtually any size, or mixed with Hyfire wired products to provide seamless hybrid solutions, offering total flexibility to specifiers and installers.
Gemma Hand, Regional Sales Manager London, Herts & Essex. for Hyfire, commented: “Our close collaboration with Fire Action on this project underscores the adaptability and efficiency of our Taurus wireless systems. We are proud to have played a pivotal role in restoring the fire systems at Crowborough Beacon Golf Club, getting the members and staff back on track as rapidly as possible.”
Developed in Trieste, Italy, the global centre for wireless fire design, Taurus features Pathfinder Technology, which allows the devices to communicate over 1km, point to point in open air, and further where expansion hops are used. Antenna technology has been optimised to allow communication across different frequencies and environments, which means that Taurus can do the job with less equipment and less batteries, thus saving on costs.
Gary Bateman, Maintenance Manager at Crowborough Beacon Golf Club, expressed his gratitude, saying: “The unwavering dedication of both Fire Action and Hyfire in ensuring our club’s safety was truly commendable. The swift installation and flawless operation of the new system have not only ensured our a rapid return to ‘business as usual’ for our members, but also reaffirmed our trust in both companies.”
