The SWIFT Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technology wireless system offers intelligent (addressable) devices which provide secure, reliable communication with the FACP across a Class A mesh network. Wireless devices create an opportunity for applications where it is costly (concrete walls/ceilings, buried wires), obtrusive (surface mount conduit), or possibly dangerous (asbestos) to use traditional wired devices.
SWIFT Smart Wireless AV Base
Description
SWIFT® AV bases WAV-CRL, WAV-CWL, WAV-RL, and WAV-WL are intended for use with compatible System Sensor L-Series AV notification appliances to meet a comprehensive range of notification requirements.
The AV Base provides power for the audio and visual signals and supports wireless communication with the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The L-Series AV notification appliance is mounted directly to the wireless AV base allowing flexibility in color, placement and signal output.
Power is supplied through two sets of 4 batteries – one set provides power for wireless communication, and the other provides power for the notification appliance’s audio and/or visual signal. Battery life of the wireless portion is UL listed for at least 2 years. Battery life for the AV set of batteries depends upon the activation time and output level of the audio or visual signal. The AV base boosts output voltage to support 24 VDC options on connected devices.
The SWIFT synchronization module (W-SYNC) provides audio and visual synchronization between SWIFT notification appliances and System Sensor wired notification appliances supporting the integrated wired-wireless solution. The module only operates with notification appliances that use the System Sensor synchronization protocol. Synchronization of the SWIFT notification appliances within a single mesh network is inherent in the wireless system so a wireless synchronization module is not needed. The W-SYNC also provides wireless control and monitoring of a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) expander or power supply. The wireless synchronization module operates from 24 V power with supplemental battery support and communicates through the mesh network with the gateway and Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
SWIFT System Overview
The SWIFT Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technology wireless system offers intelligent (addressable) devices which provide secure, reliable communication with the FACP across a Class A mesh network. Wireless devices create an opportunity for applications where it is costly (concrete walls/ceilings, buried wires), obtrusive (surface mount conduit), or possibly dangerous (asbestos) to use traditional wired devices. It allows fast installation for time-critical situations and provides the flexibility to add wireless onto wired systems for retrofit installations. Both wired and wireless devices can be present on the same FACP for an integrated solution.
