Dry Fire & Occupant Warning Systems
Elektron specialises in the design, installation, and integration of life safety systems to protect both property and personnel.
We work closely with fire consultants and certifiers to ensure every system meets rigorous Australian Standards (AS 1670) and local building codes.
Whether you require a new system for a large-scale development or an upgrade to an existing facility, we provide reliable solutions designed for early detection and orderly evacuation.
1
Fire Detection Systems
We install advanced fire detection technology tailored to the specific environment of your building. This includes:
• Addressable Fire Indicator Panels (FIP): High-tech panels that pinpoint the exact location of a fire or fault, allowing for a rapid response.
• Smoke and Heat Detection: Strategic placement of sensors, including multi-criteria and high-sensitivity aspirating smoke detection (HSSD) for critical areas like server rooms.
• Flame and Beam Detection: Specialized solutions for large open spaces such as warehouses or atriums where traditional detectors may not be effective.

Occupant Warning Systems
Ensuring occupants are alerted quickly is vital for safe evacuation. We provide:
• Emergency Warning and Intercommunication Systems (EWIS): Integrated systems that allow for staged evacuation tones and clear voice communication from a central point.
• Building Occupant Warning Systems (BOWS): Robust alert systems designed to notify everyone on-site through synchronized sounders and visual strobes.
• Public Address (PA) Integration: Linking fire systems with building-wide PA for clear instructions during an emergency.

Interface & Building Integration
A critical part of "Dry Fire" is how the system interacts with other building services. Elektron ensures your fire panel is correctly interfaced to:
• Mechanical Services: Automatically shutting down air conditioning or activating smoke spill fans.
• Lifts and Access Control: Triggering lift grounding and releasing electronic security locks for safe egress.
• Magnetic Door Holders: Releasing fire doors to prevent the spread of smoke and flame.
• Remote Monitoring: Connecting your system to Fire & Rescue NSW via private monitoring providers for 24/7 protection.

Testing & Certification
Beyond installation, we ensure your system remains compliant and ready for action with ongoing routine testing in accordance with AS 1851. We provide comprehensive documentation and certification to give building owners and facility managers total peace of mind.
