Waterway to go!

C-TEC’s EP203 automatic extinguisher panel has been installed at the new £3 million headquarters of Waterways Ireland in Eniskillen, County Fermanagh.

Waterways Ireland is the North/South implementation body responsible for the management, maintenance, development and restoration of the inland navigable waterways, principally for recreational purposes.

The organisation’s impressive new building is located on the Sligo Road and provides a top quality-working environment for Waterways Ireland staff based at the site. Two EP203 panels are now in operation – one in the computer server room safeguarding IT networks/computers and another in the building’s archive department protecting precious documentation.

Third-party certified to EN12094 part 1 and EN54 parts 2 and 4 by the LPCB, the EP203 functions as a standard three-zone fire panel with extra circuitry for controlling the release of fire suppressing gas into areas where fires need to be extinguished quickly with minimal damage to equipment.

Says John Nesbitt of Atlas Fire & Security, the company which installed the system: “C-TEC’s EP203 is a top quality product but is also priced very competitively. We particularly like the EP203’s large graphical display with two-colour backlight which makes it very easy-to-install and operate”.

In addition to being LPCB third-party certificated to EN12094-1, the EP203 is also accredited to EN54-2 and the latest revision of EN54-4 and is therefore certifiable under the Construction Products Directive. Ideal for use in remote telecommunication outstations, unmanned chemical plants, computer rooms and any other area containing invaluable equipment, it epitomises quality, durability and reliability.
