Cygnus’ world first EN 54 certified and 100% wireless SmartNet-Pro fire detection and alarm system has been selected by Ceaton Security, to deliver a robust and reliable solution for industrial factory, A5 Hub.
Originally an industrial paint factory, the new A5 Hub has been completely restructured to create individual spaces for multiple tenants in Treforest, South Wales. To provide the entire building with efficient heating, the A5 Hub was fitted with an enclosed biomass boiler, which required the protection of a fire detection and alarm system to meet the building’s insurance obligations. As the boiler had already been installed, the system needed to be implemented quickly, therefore SmartNet-Pro was selected, for both its ease and speed of installation. During the site meeting with the A5 Hub team, Ceaton Security noted that the fire detection and alarm system for the main factory building was also no longer operational so suggested SmartNet-Pro as the ideal choice to expand the system.
The site consists of the main factory building, the small unit containing the biomass boiler and fuel hopper, as well as an additional seven smaller units. The seven separate smaller units further demonstrated the requirement for a 100% wireless solution as creating cable routes to each of these buildings would have been complex, time-consuming and costly.
“During our site meeting, it became instantly evident that SmartNet-Pro would be the ideal solution for A5 Hub to fulfil the immediate requirements of the biomass boiler as well as expand to replace the existing non-operational fire detection and alarm system for the main factory and seven units. In total the installation took just over a week to complete, whereas if we had used a wired solution the installation would have taken a couple of months due to the scale and complexities of the site. Installing SmartNet is our preferred wireless solution.”

“Through referral from one of my contractors, I contacted Ceaton Security who recommended SmartNet-Pro due to the fast speed required for installation with its minimal disruption. I was thoroughly impressed by the speed in which Ceaton Security were able to install SmartNet-Pro, as well as the lack of disruption installation caused to the site. I am currently in the process of arranging a pre-site meeting with Ceaton to install SmartNet in another one of my properties.”
