Fire Alarm Upgrade in Bow E3

Introduction

Electro Pulse Ltd completed a wired fire alarm panel upgrade at an occupied HMO property in Bow, E3.

Customer Request

The existing fire alarm panel had developed a fault and required replacement.

The customer needed the fire alarm system restored to reliable operation while keeping disruption to the occupants of the HMO to a minimum.

Existing Fire Alarm System

The property already had a wired fire alarm system serving the communal areas and accommodation.

The faulty control panel was no longer operating as required, so a panel upgrade was agreed.

Installation Challenges

The building remained occupied while the work was carried out.

Some devices were also positioned at high level, requiring careful access and planning. The work was organised to minimise disruption to residents while the system was upgraded and tested.

Work Completed

The project included:

  • Isolating the existing fire alarm system safely
  • Removing the faulty control panel
  • Installing a new Fike fire alarm control panel
  • Reconnecting the existing wired fire alarm circuits
  • Checking the smoke detectors
  • Checking the heat detectors
  • Testing the sounders
  • Testing the manual call points
  • Testing the operation of the fire alarm system
  • Labelling the upgraded control panel
  • Providing a fire alarm installation and testing certificate
  • New Fike fire alarm control panel installed at an HMO in Bow E3
  • Smoke detector connected to the wired fire alarm system at an E3 HMO
  • Manual fire alarm call point tested during panel upgrade in Bow

Testing and Certification

After the panel upgrade, the fire alarm system was tested to confirm the connected devices and circuits were operating correctly.

The customer was provided with a fire alarm installation and testing certificate for the completed work.

Final Result

The HMO now has an upgraded Fike fire alarm control panel connected to the existing wired detection and alarm devices.

The system was tested and returned to operation with minimal disruption to the building’s occupants.
