System Overview

MULTI-SYSTEM SUPERVISION

Placed in the top level of our addressable system integration structure is the PC based software platform, that in conjunction with the panels advanced data output, offers a reliable solution of multi-system supervision and control. Such integration is put in place, with one ADV-COMS interface in each system main panel.

Advanced graphical capabilities available in ODYSSEY software and browser enabled Juno-Web control page, offers a solution to either day-to-day operation or maintenance and technical support purposes. From industrial sites to touristic, commercial, residential or telecommunication infrastructure support sites, that don't have permanent human presence, all can be remotely managed.

Alternatively, it is also possible to integrate our systems with 3rd party BMS software packages, using well known industry protocols.

NETWORKED SYSTEM

Today's building construction technology has an immense variety of resources that lets architects and civil engineers, elaborate the most complex edifications, each one optimized for a very specific purpose. GFE had that into consideration while creating our middle communications layer, in which our systems have the necessary flexibility and intelligence to cope with those challenges. The ability to have up to 21120 addressable devices sharing the same cause-effect programming and using up to 32 networked sub-panels, secured by redundancy and local intelligence, is a truly remarkable achievement for the industry.

Such integration is possible using our J-NET-INT interface range, which opens the required flexibility to Fire System designers to provide a solution that accommodates virtually any building configuration.

This network level or Data-Loop, as we call it, apart from linking all networked panels into one single decentralized system, also supports active & passive repeater panels, remote printers and mimic panels. All the above communication platforms can be implemented with fiber-optics, RS485 or TCP/IP.

ADDRESSABLE LOOP

When it comes to field devices, the 96 loops capability in each Juno-Net system, our high end addressable system, warrants that there are no unprotected areas, whatever the building size.

On the other hand, our principle that systems should be as cost-effective as possible and that complexity should be adequate, seamless integration of GFE's conventional systems with addressable panels detection loop is as simple as connecting any other addressable device.

In conclusion, Global Fire Equipment offers up to four integration levels, with bidirectional independent control, from the simplest conventional system, to the intuitive logical programming of multiple addressable systems, fully controlled from remote locations. These are the necessary means for a fast response to Fire alarm events, with the sole objective of saving human lives and decreasing property loss to a minimum.
