The headquarters of Bulgaria’s Communications Regulation Commission has been protected by an industry-leading fire system from Advanced as part of a major refurbishment project and drive to reduce false alarms.

Located in Sofia, the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) was established in 2002 as an independent state authority entrusted with the management and regulation of all electronic communications in Bulgaria.

Axis EN system

A recent upgrade of the fire systems in the Communications Regulation Commission office was undertaken by Advanced partner, FireTech Engineering Ltd. The project saw Advanced’s Axis EN system installed in the building supported by smoke detectors, and Advanced’s AlarmCalm false alarm management solution.

Rossen Kolev, Managing Director for FireTech Engineering Ltd, said “We specified Axis EN as the brains and backbone of the system for the CRC building as we know it offers the highest levels of quality and reliability. The client specified a system that would avoid false alarms and offer the option to expand or upgrade in the future, which is something we can guarantee with Axis EN and AlarmCalm.

AlarmCalm upgrade

AlarmCalm is a free upgrade to Advanced software and firmware that takes advantage of the hi-speed robust panels and networks to offer a best in class solution for managing verification and investigation delays to outputs. It allows the false alarm management strategy for a site to be refined right down to points and to take account for resident needs and area usage. It includes the AlarmCalm loop device that allows residents or trained staff to indicate whether they believe a signal in their area is due to a false alarm.

Axis EN is EN54 2, 4 &13 approved and its panels can be used in single loop, single panel format or easily configured into high speed, multi-loop panels in 200 node networks covering huge areas. Advanced’s legendary ease of installation and configuration and wide peripheral range make it customizable to almost any application.

Touch Control feature

Our Axis EN panels lead the market and offer the performance, reliability and flexibility needed in a building such as this.
