Comelit-PAC has worked with Centurion Fire & Security Ltd to install Logfire’s wireless solution at Guardian House, forming part of an initiative by the Inspired Neighbourhoods to develop the listed building for community and economic regeneration.

Guardian House, a listed building with a rich history as the former Bradford City Registry Office, had been unused and at risk of dilapidation. It is being refurbished to create modern offices and community space.

As part of the process of revitalising the building, Centurion Fire & Security Ltd advised updating the fire detection and alarm system in place, reflecting on the inefficiencies and significant failings of the current alarm solution.

Centurion recommended Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire system, with the wireless option seamlessly installed in the Graded area of the building to eliminate the need for extra cabling.

Says Assim Hussain, Chief Executive Officer of Inspired Neighbourhoods: We are committed to revitalising the building, maximising community benefit, and contributing to the economic regeneration of Bradford’s city centre. The redevelopment plan anticipates hosting a range of services that will attract up to 300 people to the city centre daily.”

“With such a responsibility to the community, we have to ensure their complete safety. Centurion Fire & Security Ltd supported us to deliver on total fire protection, recommending Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire wireless system to perfectly suit the building’s intended needs while preserving its historical integrity.”

Building on the hugely successful LogiFire system, Comelit-PAC introduced a new range of wireless devices, ideal for installations where wired solutions may not be practical.

Designed for ease of installation, the translators can expand a system efficiently, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming cabling.

Nathan Douglas-Smith, Director of Centurion Fire & Security Ltd adds: “The installation at Guardian House was a unique challenge due to its listed status and historical significance. Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire wireless system provided the perfect solution, allowing us to enhance fire safety without compromising the building’s structure and aesthetics. The flexibility and reliability of the LogiFire system ensures we can deliver total fire protection with ongoing remote reporting by the panel via the cloud.”

Comelit-PAC’s wireless devices come with addressable or conventional translators capable of cloud and remote monitoring. This feature eliminates the need for extensive cabling, significantly reducing installation time and overall project costs.

The addressable translator sits directly on the loop with a built-in isolator, enhancing the system’s protection by allowing for the indication of tamper faults, battery faults, device faults, contamination levels, and alarm reporting by the panel and remotely via the cloud.

Mandy Bowden, Comelit-PAC Fire Manager, concludes: “The demand for wireless fire detection systems is growing significantly, and our LogiFire solution is at the forefront of this innovation. By offering a system that combines ease of installation with advanced monitoring capabilities, we can ensure listed buildings like Guardian House are protected. At the same time, we demonstrate how heritage and modern technology can work hand in hand to create safer communities.”
