New Siemens fire protection system for small to medium-sized buildings26 April 2021

Siemens has launched a new version of the fire protection system, Cerberus FIT, specifically for the small-to-medium-sized buildings market. Various small to medium-sized buildings can now be covered with a simple and cost-efficient solution.

The Cerberus line offers a portfolio of detection and alarming devices, from fast and reliable fire detectors to configurable alarming devices (including EN 54 compliant sounder and voice sounder beacons).

The newest addition to the portfolio now allows for second loop, supporting a maximum number of 252 addressable peripherals and devices, such as detectors as well as alarm devices. All detectors and peripheral devices have an integrated line separator. In case of an interruption, the loop turns into two stub lines while making sure the system is running. This significantly increases the safety of building occupants and ensures business continuity, according to Siemens. It adds that because every device is also powered by the loop, less wiring is needed.

The new version of the Cerberus FIT control panel comes with an intuitive interface, including LED indicators with self-explanatory icons and an easy-to-read display. This avoids extensive training and allows facility staff to perform simple operational tasks on their own, without the help of experts. Thanks to its auto-configuration feature, the Cerberus FIT control panel detects and automatically reads-in all connected devices. The integrated 'Panel Configurator' enables the configuration to be changed quickly and easily on a PC or laptop, without additional software.

A delayed alarm function informs staff first to identify the cause of an alarm to assess the situation. This ensures business continuity and reduces disturbances to occupants of smaller buildings such as small-to-medium sized hotels, kindergartens or nursing homes.

Cerberus FIT is an EN-compliant fire protection system. It is approved and certified by the independent certification body LPCB and can be used in accordance with the application standard DIN VDE V 0826-2.
