Minerva System Obsolescence
The Minerva Product range of fire detection and alarm equipment manufactured by Tyco Safety Products was placed in its obsolescence period prior to being made obsolete in 2012
There are approximately 35,000 installed Minerva systems worldwide making it one of the most successful fire alarm system ever. First released in 1988, the range will also be the most long lived when it is eventually withdrawn in 2012.
The drive behind the decision to make the Minerva obsolete is a number of legislation changes that have taken place across Europe. The system was designed to the standard of the day which was BS5839 Part 4, a standard long since withdrawn and replaced with EN54 standard. That Fire Security UK Limited current range of digital technology products complies fully.
Fire Security UK Limited range of digital technology products has been in development, trials and release for a number of years with the specific aim of utilising the latest technological advancements coupled with compliance to current and planed build standards and manufacturing legislation.
Fire Security UK are able to offer a planed system upgrade path from Minerva to a digital range of fire system for current networked or individual systems.
Another consideration is performance, Since Minerva was launched over 20 years ago, fire detection technology and algorithms have evolved and now deliver clear improvements in performance and reliability. A modern business deserves the very latest technology to protect its people and vital assets from fire. Tyco Safety Products are acknowledged world leaders in research and innovation and our systems contain many unique features to make it the most advance in the world.
