Centralised monitoring
Jesus College at the University of Cambridge, has installed a new fire alarm monitoring system to enhance the level of protection in external staircases, the houses located in surrounding streets, each of which provides accommodation for 6 to 8 undergraduates.
Developed by Drax Technology, the new AMX system will enable fire alarms installed in diverse locations to be centrally monitored to deliver higher levels of protection and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements including the ANUK Code of Practice for the Management of Student Accommodation.
The installation of the system enables the Porters’ Lodge to deliver a rapid and appropriate response for all alarm activations instead of having to rely on graduates to raise the alarm.
The AMX platform will also help ensure that maintenance staff complete all testing to the required standards and allow electronic logbooks to be maintained for each connected system for audit purposes.
