- First UL-approved self-testing smoke detectors automate
testing and system maintenance
- New products integrate with Honeywell's all-in-one
cloud-based Connected Life Safety Services platform, further
improving ease of installation, maintenance and compliance
ATLANTA, March 7,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(Nasdaq: HON), a global leader in fire and life
safety, today launched the first fire alarm system with UL-approved
self-testing smoke detectors that can be tested automatically,
changing the way fire and life safety systems are installed, tested
and maintained. The NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ fire alarm system with
Self-Test detectors is designed to help create a safer building
environment by increasing facility managers awareness of system
needs while equipping service providers with digital self-testing
tools that streamline maintenance and support regulatory compliance
and system uptime.
NOTIFIER INSPIRE is an all-in-one fire system that delivers
reliable protection, scalability, efficient monitoring, as well as
flexible and timely reporting. It helps enhance fire technician
efficiency as it is designed to scale based on the buildings'
needs, minimizes the need for equipment changes, and provides
secure connectivity.
"Honeywell is integrating intelligence across all aspects of
fire and life safety systems," said Jurgen
Van Goethem, global president, Fire, Honeywell. "By
digitalizing the most essential system in the building, we're
creating efficiencies during commissioning and maintenance, we're
further improving system reliability and we're improving the
end-user experience. We're also working to change building owners'
mindsets to think about fire and life safety systems not just as a
necessary system to be able to occupy the building, but as a system
with a wealth of data that going forward, we can tap into to
ultimately better protect lives. This will help move the industry
toward the creation of safer and more compliant
buildings."
A connected fire and life safety ecosystem
NOTIFIER INSPIRE series with Self-Test smoke detectors are
securely enabled through Honeywell's Connected Life Safety Services
(CLSS) cloud-based platform. CLSS provides real-time visibility
into the fire system to installers, service technicians and
facility managers, and allows technicians to diagnose and
troubleshoot problems ahead of time, improving first-time fix rates
and reducing time spent on-site.
A life safety system that grows with a building
NOTIFIER INSPIRE features modularity for easy expansion and
upgrades, creating a system that grows with a building. The system
reduces the amount of equipment needed, further decreasing
potential maintenance, replacement parts and overall inventory
management. Its modern and intuitive touchscreen display helps
minimize human error while providing a stylish aesthetic. It can
help enhance technician efficiency by minimizing disruption,
maximizing remote productivity and supporting compliance.
A solution that self-tests and detects
NOTIFIER Self-Test eliminates many of the physical barriers
during test and maintenance such as locked rooms, high ceilings and
other hard-to-access spaces – areas that may go untested, which can
ultimately put buildings at risk. The detectors introduce small
amounts of heat and smoke into their own detection chambers,
testing both the photo and thermal sensors as well as verifying
that smoke entry points are free of obstruction.
Most importantly, a single technician can initiate the test at
the NOTIFIER INSPIRE panel for the entire building, minimizing
disturbances in working spaces and eliminating the need to access
difficult-to-reach areas like elevator shafts. The inspection
report is digitized, delivered electronically via the CLSS
application within minutes, a task that previously took as much as
one hour, and creates a complete end-to-end electronic audit trail
to support full compliance.
NOTIFIER INSPIRE series with the Self-Test detector is
currently available in the United
States through NOTIFIER by Honeywell and will be released
globally in the near future.
