XFP508X BS 5839-6 Hush Button (Apollo)

Around 80% of all UK fire deaths and injuries occur in dwellings. Nowhere is the risk greater than in houses of multiple occupation where a fire in one ‘dwelling’ can quickly spread to another.

Unfortunately, an increased risk of fire means an increased risk of false alarms. Failure to reduce false alarms can lead to unnecessary building evacuations, irate tenants, system vandalism and true alarm signals being ignored.

C-TEC’s Hush Button fire alarm solution tackles all of these issues head on.

Designed to work with widely available Apollo XP95 or Hochiki ESP analogue addressable fire alarm systems, it meets and exceeds the requirements of BS 5839 part 6 (the code of practice for fire alarm systems in dwellings) by providing reliable, fully monitored fire detection, alarm and silencing facilities INSIDE each individual flat or apartment.

How does the system work?

Each Hush Button can be looked upon as a miniature fully monitored, self-powered single zone fire alarm panel that sits and is addressed on an analogue loop (see diagrams below) with the ability to communicate its status back to the host fire panel.
