What are the main features of the Rafiki Twinflex Fire Alarm System?
Two wire installation – The Twinflex Fire Alarm System requires only one circuit per zone to connect all devices (Twinflex Detectors, Twinflex Call Points, Twinflex Sounders and Twinflex Flashers). Installation savings – Savings can be as high as 40% with save on cable, installation time and sounders. Callpoint identification – Twinflex Panels can differentiate between […]
Rafiki Twinflex System Configuration
The Twinflex Detectors and Twinflex Call Points are arranged in zones to enable the location of a fire alarm to be identified. The number of zones depends on the size and the layout of the premises, and the capacity of the Twinflex Control Panel. The number of zones on the panel (2, 4, or 8) […]
Rafiki Twinflex Fire Alarm System Cabling Requirements
The Twinflex Fire Alarm System requires a pair of wires per zone to accommodate the field devices, i.e. Twinflex Detectors, Twinflex Call Points, Twinflex Sounders& Flashers, and Twinflex Output Units. Each zone is wired as a radial circuit, i.e. the wires are terminated at the panel at one end and finish at a device in […]
How many devices can be used on each Fike Twinflex Fire Alarm System zone?
As a guide the following Twinflex devices can be installed on each Fike Twinflex Fire Alarm System zone: 6 x Sounder only (Rafiki Twinflex Hatari Sounder (Red) or Rafiki Twinflex Hatari Sounder (White)) 16 x Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector with Sounder (normal volume) 32 x Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector with Sounder (low volume) 32 x […]
Which Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector application mode is most appropriate?
One of the many benefits of the Rafiki Twinflex Fire Alarm System is the unique detector concept whereby a single detector provides up to seven operating modes to suit the application. However, to gain the maximum benefit from this feature, the detector mode must be correctly applied to each specific installation to ensure that the […]
Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector Modes of Detection
The Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector has the unique ability to select between different modes of smoke and heat detection using DIL switches on the electronics assembly. This means that the detection mode can be optimised for the location where the detectors are installed during commissioning, or as a result of changes in building use without […]
Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector Overview
The Rafiki Twinflex Multipoint Detector is a single device offering up to seven different modes of operation. At the purchasing stage the planner simply has to determine the number of detectors with integral sounder and the number without. If in doubt the integral sounder option should be selected as the sounder can easily be disabled if […]
Rafiki Twinflex Fire Alarm System Overview
Unlike most conventional fire alarm systems which require separate pairs of cables for detector zones and sounder zones, the Rafik Twinflex fire alarm system requires only one pair (two wires) for each zone to accommodate both detection devices and sounders. Furthermore, sounders are incorporated within the detector to reduce system components and simplify installation. Twinflex Fire Alarm Panel The […]
Rafiki Twinflex Checkpoint Plus technology helps eliminate the problem of false alarms
Rafiki Twinflex plus is a patented, 2 wire intelligent fire alarm system suitable for the majority of fire alarm installations. The Twinflex plus also has the option of the added feature of ‘checkpoint’ alarm confirmation. Checkpoint alarm confirmation drastically reduces the disruption and cost associated with false alarms, particularly during the settling-in-period following installation.
