Pfannenberg to Showcase Industrial Fire Alarm Signaling Solutions at 2024 NFPA Conference & Expo

 

Meet Us at Booth #2220 to learn more about our solutions

 

Pfannenberg will present innovative fire alarming solutions tailored specifically for industrial applications at the upcoming 2024 NFPA Conference & Expo, scheduled from June 17 to 19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.  Meet us at Booth #2220 to see a range of visual alarms (strobes), audible alarms (horns), and combined devices. These essential technologies meet NFPA standards, establishing our signaling devices as a quality piece of an effective fire protection system.

“Pfannenberg is continually innovating and improving fire protection alarms, striving to ensure their effectiveness and compliance with the latest safety protocols for industrial and warehouse spaces,” says Jacob Vernon, Product Manager – Audible and Visual Signaling. Our signaling solutions are specifically designed to comply with NFPA 72 guidelines for both public and private mode applications. The T3 tone found in our sounders meets the offset requirements with 10dB for Private Mode and 15dB for Public Mode, ensuring optimal performance in various environments. Our PATROL & PYRA range of products are UL listed and fully compliant with NFPA 72 standards.

Additionally, we go above and beyond the requirements outlined in NFPA 72 18.5.5.6 for “Performance based alternatives.” Our sizing requirements exceed the minimum requirements specified in sizing chart Table 6-4.4.1 for 0.4l/m2, providing enhanced safety and reliability for customers.

We integrate cutting-edge technology into its fire alarm solutions, ensuring seamless planning and implementation. Our products are easily adaptable to Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, facilitating the planning of alarm systems with accurate 3D coverage. Also, our proprietary 3D coverage software enables users to design and plan alarming systems with precise coverage information for each signaling device. This optimization allows for the efficient deployment of units, reducing costs and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the alarm system.

At the conference, we will showcase the PATROL and PYRA Series Audible and Visual Alarms, engineered to excel in adverse conditions such as high ambient noise levels and bright surroundings. With sound outputs ranging from 100 dB to 122 dB, these alarms ensure clear and unmistakable signaling, even in the most challenging environments. Our PATROL PA X Series Audible and Visual Alarms feature a range of extremely bright and highly visible flashing strobe lights with a choice of 5 to 15 Joules flash energy, and high-quality components ensuring 70% light emission even after 8 million flashes, making them ideal for fire prevention as they can be seen through smoke, enhancing safety in critical situations.

“By leveraging cutting-edge technology and industry best practices, Pfannenberg’s comprehensive approach to fire prevention aims to safeguard lives and protect assets in the face of fire hazards,” emphasizes Vernon.

Pfannenberg to Showcase Fixed Gas Detection Audible and Visual Alarms at IIAR Natural Refrigeration Expo 2023

 

Meet Us at Booth #756 to learn more about our solutions

Pfannenberg will highlight our combined visual-audible signaling products at the upcoming IIAR Natural Refrigeration Conference & Heavy Equipment Expo March 12-15, 2023 at the Long Beach Convention Center. As the industry expert in ammonia gas detection alarming, we produce visual alarms, audible alarms, and combined devices. Our signaling devices are industry leaders in quality, safety, and robustness for proper ammonia coolant system design under IIAR-2A standards.

Ammonia gas leaks can be both dangerous and deadly. Ammonia leaks continue to rise due to:

• the increased use of natural refrigerants over fluorinated gas counterparts, and
• population growth, which increases the need for cold storage. In the face of this increased risk to worker safety, the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) has updated its standards for the safest regulation of this dangerous gas.

As of 2021, IFC refrigeration systems that use ammonia refrigerant, along with the buildings where they are used, must comply with IIAR–2 for system design and installation, IIAR-6 for maintenance and inspection, and IIAR-7 for operating procedures. Though these standards help ensure safety and efficacy, guidelines for selecting the correct audible and visual alarms can be buried deep within this regulatory code and, accordingly, these standards can be difficult to adhere to.

Pfannenberg offers an effective approach to product selection, one that assists the customer in choosing the correct signaling device based on the conditions of the area where ammonia is present. This approach, known as Signaling 3D-Coverage, ensures that the workers can hear and see an alarm when it is activated, no matter where they are when ammonia is present.

Pfannenberg specifically seeks to foreground the durable PATROL PA X Series Audible and Visual Alarms, the ideal solution for alarm applications for adverse environmental conditions like high ambient noise levels or bright surroundings. The PATROL PA X Series Audible and Visual alarms range from 105 dB to 122 dB in sound output. The PA X Series is easy to install making it extremely safe. It also boasts extremely high efficiency and good penetration of acoustical obstacles, which significantly reduces the required number of sounders for a location. The alarms feature 80 tones and a 5-15J Xenon Strobe.

 

The updated IIAR-2A regulations harmonize with Pfannenberg’s cutting-edge methods for selecting proper signaling devices, such as the PA X PATROL Series Alarms. In light of the incredibly high risks of ammonia leaks, this combined effort can save lives.
