VPS FireAl­ert Wes+product range is an inno­v­a­tive con­struc­tion site fire safe­ty sys­tem to pro­tect per­son­nel, mate­ri­als and build­ings on con­struc­tion sites.

The aim of VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ wire­less fire alarm sys­tem is to give the work­force the ear­li­est pos­si­ble warn­ing of fire, allow­ing the max­i­mum time to escape and call the fire and emer­gency ser­vices if required.

  • Quick and easy set­up – it takes just a few min­utes for units to be on active duty
  • Flex­i­ble, prac­ti­cal and reli­able — the sys­tem can eas­i­ly be adjust­ed as con­struc­tion progresses
  • Real-time sys­tem mon­i­tor­ing — each unit mon­i­tors itself (bat­tery, sig­nal, etc.)
  • When a VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ unit is trig­gered, the entire zone will be alert­ed min­imis­ing the risk of mate­r­i­al dam­age and injury to personnel
  • Wes+ wire­less fire alarm sys­tem units can be reused on future projects
  • Cost-effec­tive — there’s no wiring, so no need for spe­cial­ist installation
  • 3+ years bat­tery life; reduc­ing life­time costs and need for con­stant replacement
  • Unlim­it­ed num­ber of Wes+units can be con­nect­ed on one site
  • VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ app allows the fire safe­ty offi­cer to check the sta­tus of the net­work at any time

Deploy­ing the VPS FireAl­ert WES+ devices on a con­struc­tion site:

  • VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ devices can be deployed as soon as the cab­ins are on acon­struc­tion site and the build is out of the ground.
  • Fire Points are placed accord­ing to your fire plan
    • Nor­mal­ly at every stair­well or lift shaft – and can be added as the build progresses.
    • Heat, smoke or dust-proof smoke detec­tors pro­vide active fire pro­tec­tion in enclosed areas and in tem­po­rary accom­mo­da­tion units.
  • All your VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ sys­tem devices are con­nect­ed into a net­work. In the wake of fire, any unit can trig­ger a site wide alarm, whether active­ly in the case of the detec­tion units or man­u­al­ly via the Fire Points.
  • The Base Sta­tion will inform you where the trig­ger­ing unit is so you can pin­point the fire. You can also set up text alerts to help you pro­vide an imme­di­ate response. If you have the VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ app, you can also export reports of your silent test results and any acti­va­tions for full report­ing and tracking.
  • Once the con­struc­tion project is com­plete, you can eas­i­ly re-use your VPS FireAl­ert Wes+ units on your next project.
