Responding to evolving fire safety needs in the UK

In a recent development, WindowMaster, a Danish CleanTech company known for its expertise in natural, hybrid, and smoke ventilation systems, has launched the WSC 104 S AR CompactSmoke 4A Smoke control panel.

This product, an addition to the successful WSC 104 series, is designed to comply with the updated building regulations in the UK.

The new smoke panel not only offers life safety smoke ventilation but also integrates comfort ventilation, marking a significant step in the company’s efforts to provide innovative solutions in smoke and heat ventilation.

Features and benefits of the WSC 104 S AR

The latest addition, the WSC 104 S AR, stands out with its capability to automatically reset the control panel when a fire alarm signal ceases.

This small, easily configurable unit, utilising eight DIP switch-based controls, enhances both value and functionality for installers.

It emerges as a crucial device in the context of evolving building safety regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Additionally, it serves as a supportive tool for Responsible Persons (RPs) who face increased legal duties under the new fire safety guidance laws and are obligated to prioritise occupant safety.

“That’s why interest in our smoke panel devices is at an all-time high.

“Since the success of our first unit, we have been constantly reviewing ways to push forward and further optimise 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.”
