Fire is a major problem in South Africa and can easily be started by overheating machinery and electrical surges. We at Intellisec can provide you with a fire detection system specifically designed to protect your business and help you meet your legal requirments.
A fire detection system (sometimes called a fire alarm system) is a system of integrated fire detection devices controlled from a central control panel. When triggered it can alert people throughout your entire building and help ensure a speedy response. The system can also be set up to integrate with your voice evacuation system to broadcast emergency messages appropriate to your business and summon emergency services.
Rapid identification of smoke particles in the air. Options include ionization, optical smoke detectors and photoelectric detectors
Detect sudden rises in temperature, making them ideal for environments where smoke or dust may cause false alarms – such as kitchens, workshops, or industrial sites.
Easily accessible, wall-mounted devices that allow individuals to raise the alarm immediately in the event of a fire.
Audible alarms and flashing lights to alert all occupants of a potential fire, even in noisy or visually restricted environments.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors
Designed to detect this toxic, colourless, odourless gas before it reaches dangerous levels, protecting both employees and customers from serious health risks.
Monitor large open areas for smoke and can differentiate between smoke and other airborne particles such as exhaust fumes. Ideal for underground car parks, garages, and chemical or petrochemical facilities.
Advanced clean-agent systems that extinguish fires quickly without water, protecting valuable assets like IT equipment, archives, and electrical infrastructure. Perfect for server rooms, data centres, and control rooms.
High-sensitivity air sampling systems that continuously draw air into a central detector, providing the earliest possible warning of smoke. Especially effective in high-risk or high-value environments such as cold storage, telecommunications hubs, and heritage buildings.
In South Africa, fire detection systems must be serviced every six months in line with SANS 10139 regulations. This is a legal requirement, and each service must be recorded in a log book and signed off by a certified fire technician. Failure to comply not only puts lives at risk – it also leaves you vulnerable to prosecution and could result in your insurance claims being rejected.
At Intellisec, all our fire detection technicians are fully trained on how to install and service leading fire systems like Ziton, Edwards, Technoswitch, Vesda, Zytec, Fire Pro and many others. They are also registered with the SAQCC to fully certify your system to ensure it complies with all regulatory and insurance requirements.
We also hold a 6SF grading from the CIDB, allowing us to tender for and deliver fire detection projects valued up to R20 million – giving you peace of mind that you’re working with a trusted, capable partner from design to certification.
