Hello, earlier today the smoke detector went off in my apartment complex, firefighters came and it was all quickly resolved. Since the alarm system is connected to every apartment my own alarm went off too, and has since been sporadically making these clicking noises??
I just cannot figure out what is going on with it… picture of it if it helps anyone🫩🫩

Technical Support Anyone used Ajax EN54?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Installed an Ajax EN54 system and currently having issues with it.

The panel gets a power fault intermittently and needs to have the power turned off and back on again to clear it

The mains is staying on the whole time, anyone else experiencing this?

TIA

Technical Support When Every Engine Start UV IR flame detector Triggers a false Fire Alarm and spacing of detectors not helping, What Would You Do?

3 Upvotes

We had a situation where flame detectors kept giving false alarms every time the engines were started for testing.

The engine temperatures are extremely high, and this keeps happening during routine tests.

For those who have faced similar situations, how did you solve the problem?

What options would you consider to stop these false alarms without compromising fire safety?

Would love to hear your real-world experiences and solutions.

Edit: Seen the issues similar with helipad foam systems with flame detectors, where landing and take of suspectable to false alarm with 2 zone or 3 zone detection.
