WindowMaster, the Danish CleanTech company specializing in natural, hybrid & smoke ventilation systems, has recently launched an additional supportive version of its highly popular, WSC 104 smoke panel.

WSC 104 smoke panel

Developed in response to requests from the UK commercial construction industry, the new WSC 104 S AR CompactSmoke™ 4A Smoke Control Panel (windowmaster.com) has been specifically designed and tested to comply with the country’s recently updated building regulations.

It also combines comfort ventilation with the core functionality of life safety smoke ventilation, as a new variant that adds to WindowMaster’s growing line of innovative smoke and heat ventilation solutions.

Building safety regulations

The latest digital enhancement offers the ability to automatically reset the control panel

Following the success of its sister unit (WSC 104), the latest digital enhancement offers the ability to automatically reset the control panel, when a fire alarm signal is removed. Small and easy to configure through the use of eight DIP switch-based controls, WSC 104 S AR offers added value & functionality to installers.

Against a backdrop of evolving building safety regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it can act as a potentially life-saving device, particularly when used as part of a robust fire safety strategy.

Supporting tool for Responsible Persons (RPs)

Furthermore, it can be a supporting tool for Responsible Persons (RPs) who have increased legal duties following last October’s new fire safety guidance laws, and whom are legally obliged to take immediate action in prioritizing occupant safety across the board.

Commenting on the launch, WindowMaster’s CEO, Erik Boyter, says: “UK Businesses are adapting to an ever-changing regulatory landscape, and fire safety is now a primary concern for all. That’s why interest in our smoke panel devices is at an all-time high."

WSC 104 S AR unit - key piece in the fire safety puzzle

He adds, "Since the success of our first unit, we have been constantly reviewing ways to push forward and further optimize performance. The WSC 104 S AR device is the result of these refinements, developed to support the WSC 104 with a control panel that meets the demands of the UK market."

Erik Boyter continues, “Concerns around occupant safety will continue to be at the forefront of building design and specification. Our WSC 104 S AR unit will prove an important piece in the fire safety puzzle and continues to underline our commitment to ensuring occupant safety with sustainable solutions. With potentially life-saving abilities, it should be included as part of any comprehensive fire safety strategy.”
