Smoke detectors protect UNESCO site

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Nittan fire detection equipment has been installed in to the UNESCO World heritage site Piazza del Duomo in Pisa, Italy.

Piazza del Duomo is a magnificent square that represents the best example of the Pisa Romanesque style as well as being home to four outstanding monuments: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Camposanto (cemetery) and the world famous “Leaning” Tower of Pisa.  In addition, there are two museums – the Sinopie Museum and the Opera del Duomo Museum.

EL.MO. Spa. who have been a leading Italian fire and security organisation since 1975 and a long term Nittan partner, were selected by Opera della Primaziale Pisana (OPA) – a non-profit organisation which oversees the Piazza del Duomo – as these historically significant sites and precious works of art require round the clock protection afforded by a highly reliable integrated security and fire protection system. 

Nittan fire detection devices were specified by EL.MO for this prestigious project due to their impressive reliability, compatibility with EL.MO’s FX series of analogue addressable control units and features, such as a 360° OMNIVIEW LED indicator which permits clear and visible indication of the sensor's operation from any angle.  Nittan devices have been installed within the Camposanto, the Cathedral, two museums and within Piazza del Duomo’s administrative offices. The fire detection system features 1,000 zones and seven fire detection control units.
