Maximum protection
with unique technology
With SWING, Siemens sets
new safety standards in radio fire
detection – by combining the highly
reliable mesh technology for safe
wireless transmission with the
unique ASAtechnology for high
detection reliability.
Advantages of wireless technology
Radio fire detection is the ideal solution for
rooms or buildings of historical value, with
aesthetic or architectural restrictions or for
temporary installations. Thanks to wireless
technology, devices can be quickly and
freely positioned and repositioned. This
facilitates planning, allows for cost-effi-
cient installation and offers a high level of
freedom and flexibility should room usage
or building structure change in the future.
Application examples for SWING
– Museums, historical sites, libraries
– Hotel rooms, offices, convention halls
– Industrial rooms with changing usage
– Temporary installations like exhibitions
Efficient commissioning without
interrupting business processes
Mesh technology facilitates planning, as
no cables are needed. Smart tools and
remote access allow for timely handover
without interrupting your business pro-
cesses because a wireless connection to a
SWING device is sufficient. Integrated in
the fire protection system, SWING can be
accessed via the control panel or remotely
via the Internet.
Mesh technology –
outstanding connection reliability
Mesh technology takes wireless network
and communication reliability to the max.
Because all wireless devices communicate
with their neighbors, at least two redun-
dant
paths are always available to trans-
mit information. To increase reliability
even
further, each wireless device has two
frequency bands with several
channels. In
case of a disturbance, the network will
mend itself by automatically changing
the channel or frequency band or by
rerouting the information via another
neighboring device. That way, all infor-
mation will always reach the gateway,
making the wireless network as safe as
a cabled one.
Moreover, mesh technology enables
large and powerful wireless networks:
An installation with one gateway can
have a radius of up to 90 m. Taking into
account local regulations, it can span up
to five floors.
As all wireless devices are
interlinked, the gateway does not need a
direct connection with each and every one.
Wireless devices can be freely positioned and repositioned, increasing
flexibility should the room usage change in the future.
With SWING, you can reliably protect up to five floors with one
gateway – and without the need of cabling.
