SAFTI, manufacturer of fire-rated glass and framing systems, announces two new protective features of its fire-resistant GPX frames: bullet resistance and attack resistance.

GPX aluminum, fire-rated security frames are available in custom architectural make-up-any species of decorative wood, ornamental copper and brass clad, stainless steel, or any other custom finish. By incorporating fire and security rated glazing material in a GPX framing system, architects and builders can create an aesthetically pleasing barrier against fire, ballistic, and impact forces.

Fire-Lite Alarms, part of Honeywell’s Fire Group and a manufacturer of life safety systems, introduces the Audio Command Center Zone Splitter System (ACC-25/50ZS), an Emergency Voice Evacuation Panel capable of splitting up to 50 watts of audio power to eight zones. This emergency communications system is designed for schools, auditoriums, dormitories, and theaters.

Notifier, a manufacturer of commercial fire alarm systems and part of Honeywell’s Fire Systems Group, announces its UniNet Lite facilities monitoring system. This hardware/software package features a user-friendly interface that gives users the ability to graphically capture and display events and conditions throughout a facility.

The Acclimate, a new intelligent fire sensor, is available from System Sensor. Acclimate was developed by incorporating software to automatically adjust to the local environment. As opposed to a fire system operator setting the detector’s operating parameters based on historical data for each location, Acclimate removes that process by automatically learning the environment and optimizing the performance for each location.

The Viking Corporation, a supplier of fire protection devices, announces the release of concealed dry pendent sprinklers. This new line includes both standard response and quick response versions for both standard coverage and extended coverage applications. The push-on, thread-off cover design allows for easy installation after the system has been tested and the ceiling has been finished.

Fire-Lite Alarms, part of Honeywell’s Fire Systems Group, introduces its newest intelligent addressable fire alarm control panel, the MS-9200UD. Built upon a platform common to the MS-9200 and MS-9600, the new panel features advanced auto-programming capabilities.

New Pig Corporation introduces the two-piece Spillblocker Dike for diverting and confining liquid without absorbing it. The new design features two 5-foot dikes with built-in keystone connectors. Shorter sections can be used separately for small spills or combined to form a longer 10-foot dike for managing larger spills.

Made of flexible polyurethane, the non-absorbent Spillblocker Dike resists oil, water, and many chemicals. It is reusable and its 3-inch high, two-layer construction features a hard, durable top layer and a soft, tacky bottom to adhere to smooth surfaces.
