Alarm Systems for Fire Escapes
Protect
fire escapes with Sure Action stress sensors (Pulsors)!
Sure Action's stress sensors are possibly the most versatile security
product on the market. One unique application in which the Pulsor
provides superior coverage is on fire escapes. Fire escapes can
create vulnerable access points. Some customers may want the fire
escape protected to deter a thief from using it to obtain easier access
to a window. Other times, customers may want to keep kids from
playing on it or they may want to keep squatters out of vacant
buildings. Whatever the reason, Sure Action's stress sensors
provide an invisible security option for protecting fire escapes.

Tips for Protecting a Fire Escape
-
Stress sensor alarm systems for fire escapes should be
designed to protect spots where an intruder would most likely place his
weight.
For example, a stress sensor may be placed near the top or bottom of a
flight of stairs, on a platform, and along the metal section where a
person would jump to pull down the lowest section of the fire escape or
lean over to release it. Stress sensors should be mounted 4" - 5"
away from the building on the metal ribs under the platform.
-
For fire escape applications, the MarineGuard line of
processors work best. They are designed for outdoor applications
and withstand the elements best. The Deck Sensor (DSE2) provides
the appropriate amount of sensitivity for this application.
-
Before installation, check the resistance of each
sensor. As you determine the layout for the sensors, balance the
circuits so that you DON'T have 2 low resistance sensors on one side and
2 high resistance sensors on the other. See Pulsor manual for more
detail.)
-
Use an even number of stress sensors.
-
The mean temperature needs to be over 55°F for
the epoxy to harden properly. If the temperature is slightly
lower, you can use a heat gun to warm all needed materials. If you
are working in colder temperatures, we strongly recommend you call us
for support.
-
Solder all connections and protect the connection
with appropriate sealant such as an epoxy splice kit.
-
To increase the stability of the alarm system,
protect the sensor with hard insulation foam because fire escapes are exposed to strong
winds. The insulation helps to prevent false alarms.
-
Use good outdoor wire.
