We design addressable fire detection and alarm systems as per project and design guidelines. Main/repeater fire alarm control panel, smoke/heat detectors, visual/audible strobes and manual call points are integral components of the system.

In accordance with the NFPA "cause and effect matrix", we provide interlocking/alarm arrangement for the safety of the property and its occupants, and for their safe egress using the voice evacuation system.

Further, emergency lighting is provided through UPS for all exit signs, staircase lighting and on all escape routes. Moreover, all exit signs are also provided with battery backup facility to ensure 100% reliability/operation during distress. We ensure that all alarm initiating and supervisory devices are individually addressable.

The following functional systems are interconnected to the Fire Alarm System:

• Shutting down of Air Handling Units of the affected areas
• Closing of smoke check doors for segregation of affected areas from non-affected areas
• Start-up of pressurization fans
• Start-up of smoke extraction fans (mechanical smoke control)
• Public Address System
• Grounding of all elevators

We customize the Public Address System for announcements and emergency voice evacuation as per the requirement of the installation. The system comprise of head end equipment, distribution equipment and reception equipment.

Voice Alarm Systems form part of the Fire Alarm Systems evacuation method. They provide a spoken message giving clear instruction of the problem and identifies the necessary action to be taken.

It has been proven to be the fastest and safest method of evacuation because it delivers an emergency attention drawing signal followed by a recorded message, whilst also allowing delivery of live emergency announcements via the fire officer. This allows specific and detailed information to be provided during phased evacuation situations or for directing staff or public too safety.

One of these key elements of the Public Address System design is to provide Digital Signal Processors (DSP). DSP multi-effect devices offer a huge range of sound processing options (reverb, delay, echo, compression, etc.) in a single unit.

The public address system comprises equipment of sufficient capacity to ensure distribution of voice to various areas of the building with equal clarity. Public address components are provided with graduated priority. The system is integrated with the Fire Alarm System through necessary interfaces. Each floor constitutes a zone with selective floor-wise isolation facility.

Head end equipment in a PA system is divided into two elements - source and amplification. Source equipment includes microphones for public address. Additionally, message/alarm tone generators are used for emergency calls and evacuation. We select microphones of professional grade offering superior performance characterized by high sensitivity, minimum noise distortion and low sensitivity to feedback.

The distribution equipment primarily comprises of line attenuators equipped with line transformers and rotary/digital controls. The reception equipment comprises primarily of speakers of varying types depending upon area allocation and usage. We select the speakers for its designated use and the specific area of installation based upon our large experience of designing such systems and our close interaction with the operators.

The requirements in regard of audibility and intelligibility of a public address system can be stringent in complex acoustic conditions and it is critical that the public address system is designed and specified properly.

We will examine the public address system specification requirements. This may include requirements for minimum sound pressure levels and post installation speech intelligibility testing. A detailed evaluation of the space in which the public address system will serve will be undertaken. This is often the determining factor in compliance with any performance specification and/or the relevant standards.

Where a public address system is to be designed for a building which is still at design stage, we can carry out extensive acoustic room modelling with proprietary software packages to ensure that the public address system design will meet the specification requirements. If the public address system cannot meet the requirements due to architectural or acoustic constraints, scientific evidence of such can be provided.

Voice evacuation system can be used in various scenarios:

• Voice Evacuation mandated for life safety emergencies
• Voice evacuation is often required by local Authorities
• Controlled building evacuation during a life safety event
• Alerting building occupants of imminent happening
• Voice evacuation system, building management or a building fire brigade can Monitor evacuations when the alarm initially sounds
• Easy to command of building evacuation or occupant relocation during the emergency

Perimeter Protection System protects the outer perimeter of a building against unwanted intruders. This system acts as a deterrent once any person tries to intrude from the perimeter where the system is installed. Various options like sensor cabling, electric fence and IR sensors are specified for this system.

Customized Access Control provides physical control of people movement in the premises by restricting entry into specified areas. For Electronic Surveillance purposes, indoor/outdoor type cameras are located at strategic points as per the challenges of the design and to maintain discreet positioning as required. These cameras are connected to either DVR or a server based system.

Intruder Alarm

An alarm system comprises three main parts: one or more sensors to detect the presence or actions of an intruder, a control unit that constantly monitors the sensors and transmits an alarm signal when a sensor detects an intruder, and the alarm annunciator.

The ideal intruder alarm system will give the earliest possible warning of an intruder entering the premises. The system will otherwise give no false alarms, be easy to use, discrete in appearance and provide the user with peace of mind. To achieve this, we provide a comprehensive range of detection devices which offer the best form of detection, yet are discrete in appearance.

Alarm systems can be designed so that various parts of a building have separate sensor circuits, or zones. Duress or panic alarm circuits enable employees to alert other staff.

We are experienced in designing intruder alarms which will give the right balance between early detection, adequate coverage and realistic cost. Utilising a combination of proven techniques with state-of-the-art technology, we will tailor a solution to meet your individual requirements.

Virtually all buildings need to control access control, monitor, restrict and record the movement of people, assets or vehicles. OEC will undertake a risk assessment to enable a design to be drafted using products ranging from token based systems and digital keypads, through to biometric identification systems and the associated hardware.

Our access control systems provide a secure method of card or token control, using strong, mechanically reliable and trouble free locks, all under the watchful supervision of a computer software. This can record all activities and provide easily defined reports, while showing alarms or other invalid card conditions. Systems can be integrated into existing IP, internet or Building Management Systems networks.

Our access control systems use the latest in smart card technology, which can be linked to other applications like vending, car park access or producing cumulative audits of staff flexi time.

The production of audit trails, roll call lists or timekeeping records is straight forward. Updates on name changes, zone access or identity photos is equally uncomplicated, as all software can be configured and managed from a PC. Some of the features of access control is given below.

• Allow the free flow of authorized movements
• Preventing unauthorized access
• Control the movement of visitors on restricted Areas.
• Multiple access levels e.g. all staff can get into the canteen but only the IT staff can access the server room).
• Security personnel can open and close, lock and unlock doors
• Issue visitor badges from central station
• Automatically generates alerts (e.g. door 1 has been open for longer than 30 seconds).
• Escalation Process to supervisors or security guard
• Preset set time limit

We have expertise and track record of providing leading-edge and innovative CCTV solutions using a combination of established and state-of-the-art technology. We have knowledge and experience in all aspects of security video including optics, capture devices, hardware, control and processing electronics, and digital recording and transmission.

This CCTV section provides an insight and description of some of the key components and technologies we can provide to help you to meet your security, safety and management requirements. CCTV can be deployed for various environments:

• Security & Surveillance
• People Tracking
• Monitoring External & Internal locations
• VVIP Areas
• Car Parking
• Common Areas
• Payment KIOSK/Counters
• Cafeterias
• Other Isolated locations

An important element of the security design of a site will be the point where there is a break in a perimeter fence or wall to allow entry. Gates and barriers are an integral part of the electronic security system design since they are protected by locks, intermittent guard patrols, fixed guard posts, contact alarms, CCTV, or a combination of these. We can advise on the number of gates and perimeter entrances which should be limited to those absolutely necessary, but should be sufficient to accommodate the peak flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Gates are the largest areas for potential security breaches, and you can cut down manpower requirements through automation. This requires the design of appropriate gates, gate operators and access control systems using the right fence materials that may include anti-climbing, anti-cutting and/or terrorism resistance features.

The most reliable, secure and convenient way of managing parking can be done through the Parking Management Software. Many shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, garages, and airports have implemented automated parking management software to easily manage traffic and parking of vehicles. The software provides valuable support for facility monitoring, space counting, revenue control, license plate recognition, event broadcasting, vehicle sensor, and credit card transactions. A quality parking management software can help generate a detailed entry and exit statistics, which enable managements to plan ahead for weekends and holiday seasons.

Parking management systems have brought lots of advantages to the parking system by changing it from a manual task to an automated system. This not only removes the chance of human error but also helps in planning the best way to park vehicles. Parking management systems are the perfect example of life made easy by the use of technology. The prominent features of our parking management system is:

• Restricted Entry
• Easy Management
• Security Protection
• Preventing Illegal Parking in the Compound
• Controlled Traffic Movement
• Free Traffic Flow
• Paid Parking
• A strict control and monitor over the daily revenue, to assure accuracy
• Reduces the transaction time at the check in and check out points, which eliminates the bottleneck.
• Capturing and comparing images while entering and exiting of the vehicles, which insures safely
• improved and intelligent reporting structure

Video and audio intercoms are used in a huge variety of applications from secure areas in airports and factories, to prisons and police stations.

The Campus TV station is commonly included, along with campus events - home sporting events or performances live on TV, a 'bell tower cam' with live pictures of campus, etc. This is also a great way to create a closed-circuit channel for overflow seating areas and other innovative uses. The possibilities here are limited only by your imagination.
• Radio Stations Your campus radio station can be added to the signal for easy distribution throughout campus. We can also add equipment to distribute the entire FM band through the cable system so that everyone can enjoy clear FM reception.

Generators

Permanently installed generators provide a convenient solution to power failure. A permanent generator will monitor the power coming into your building or home. If the power goes out the generator will automatically turn on and supply power to your home or business. When the power company restores power, the generator will automatically turn off and wait for the next time it is needed. The generator is also programmed to automatically execute a weekly test to charge its batteries and maintain the lubrication of its internal parts. Generators are the best way to ensure that your business or home will have full functionality every day of the year. We install generators in commercial and industrial facilities as well as individual homes. We are able to size the generators to provide power to an entire building or to supply power to only the critical components of the building that require backup power. We will provide you with a free consultation and estimate to determine if a backup generator is a good option for your home or business.

U.P.S.

U.P.S. units are necessary for computers and electronic equipment. When power is lost there is usually a short lag time after the power fails and before the generator turns on. Even though this lag time is only a split second it is usually just enough time to loose any unsaved information on a computer network. To address this we recommend that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (U.P.S) should be installed on all computer equipment. A U.P.S. unit will instantly provide a battery back up to computer network equipment during a power failure and prevent costly data loss. We are able to size U.P.S. systems to meet the power demands of our customers. We install U.P.S. sizes ranging from small units for individual workstations up to large U.P.S. systems for data rooms with extensive
