Fire Alarm solutions for today’s buildings

FireShield fi re alarm control panels demonstrate that

value does not have to come at the expense of qual-

ity, and that small building owners don’t have to settle

for second-rate fi re protection. With FireShield comes

a full lineup of advanced features designed expressly

for new and retrofi t projects that cry out for simplicity,

yet need state-of-the-art protection. These two at-

tributes aren’t mutually

exclusive in a fi re alarm

control panel. At least not

with FireShield. FireShield

takes the very best

conventional fi re alarm

technology available

today and blends it to-

gether with features that

benefi t installers, contrac-

tors, building owners and

occupants to provide an

effective and economi-

cal solution for all small

building needs. FireShield 3, 5, and 10 zone panels

Big value for small buildings

MC Series photo-electric, ionization, and heat detectors

MC Series low-profi le plug-in detectors measure-up to

the quality and performance standards that have made

GE fi re detection products the industry’s best price-per-

formance buy available today. Meticulously engineered

to deliver valuable features, superb reliability, and un-

beatable quality, these smoke and heat detectors are

low-cost solutions for a wide range of conventional life

safety and property protection applications.

Signature Series multisensor detectors don’t simply react to

conditions – they interpret information from several sources

in order to arrive at a carefully “considered” conclusion. This

means that a single multisensor detector can distinguish be-

tween a harmless puff of dust and a wisp smoke; between hot, hu-

mid weather and a serious life safety condition. What’s more, Signature

Series’ reporting function is so reliable that annual sensitivity testing is

not required, and it’s data communications is so stable that there’s no

need for shielded cable. This means that existing wiring can be used in

most retrofi t applications!

Powerful life safety control for mid-size

buildings

GE’s networkable MIR2 fi re alarm control panel supports

Signature Series intelligent detection, plus audio. As many

as fi ve network nodes combine to up to 960 intelligent de-

tectors, thousands of conventional detectors, and dozens

of remote annunciators. Meanwhile, MIR2 peer-to-peer

network communication delivers unprecedented surviv-

ability and rock-solid reliability. Powerful audio rounds out

this robust package with single or dual channel support

for emergency voice paging, evacuation signaling, and

fi refi ghter’s telephones. MIR2 is a single source solution

where network, audio, and intelligent detection come

together in a seamless life safety package.

With options that support intelligent or conventional

circuits, or a mixture of both, QuickStart is an ideal

solution for new and retrofi t applications alike. New

installations benefi t from the widely acclaimed Signa-

ture Series family of intelligent devices, while retrofi t

applications enjoy the best of both worlds. QuickStart’s

support for both intelligent and conventional circuits

ideally positions this innovative line of control panels for

upgrading an existing system all at once or in stages. In

fact, Signature Series’ unique ability to use existing wir-

ing means expensive communications-grade cable and

costly rewiring is not required in most cases!

Award-winning Genesis Series

notifi cation appliances represent

the rebirth of fi re alarm signals

with looks, features, and per-

formance benefi ts designed for

buildings of today. Wall strobes,

horns, and chimes about the size

of a deck of playing cards offer a

discrete alternative to bulky de-

vices, while speakers and ceiling

models with clean modern lines

blend inconspicuously with their

surroundings.

FullLight technology (left) immerses the protected area in light – without the gaps and dark areas typical of standard specular refl ectors (right).

Genesis brings on-demand signaling to

every application with an unparalleled range of fi eld

confi gurable options including high/low dB output settings; wattage tap selec-tions; and selectable candela output and fl ash rate – options that put you in the driver’s seat when time is short, budgets slim. This means there are fewer parts to stock, less inventory to worry about, and the fl exibility to meet changing demands – on the fl y – without having to reinstall equipment or order more parts!

tion, Genesis signals are also

engineered to command atten-

tion. Wall-penetrating high dB

output and patented FullLight

strobe technology immerse the

protected area with levels of light

and sound that

simply can’t

be ignored

– all in ex-

change for the

lowest current

demands of any

device in their class.

With Genesis horn-strobes

you also save on wiring costs,

thanks to exclusive technology

that delivers independent horn

control over just a single pair of

wires. This important and highly

desirable feature makes it pos-

sible to silence horns while the

strobes remain active.

Whether you’re designing for

a new landmark structure, or sim-

ply retrofi tting a local strip mall,

competitively-priced Genesis

signals bring value, good looks,

and installation fl exibility to

every application.
