EN54 Line enables scalable installation across commercial and public buildings
Ajax Systems has announced the launch of its EN54 Line fire detection and alarm system in the UK.
According to the company, the new system is fully wireless and designed to support a range of sites including schools, hospitals, offices and heritage buildings.
The firm said the system includes 15 new devices and three accessories, built around the EN54 Fire Hub Jeweller, a wireless control and indicating equipment unit.
EN54 Line devices can be installed in under five minutes and then monitored and maintained remotely or on-site using Ajax’s free mobile and desktop apps.
Aleksandr Konotopskyi, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Ajax Systems said: “Ajax Systems always strives to push the boundaries and is here to transform the outdated and inconvenient industry into a beautiful, tech-savvy domain.
“EN54 Line is more than a new product line — it’s our statement and a real revolution in fire safety.
“Intuitive, scalable, and future-ready — these are the main pillars of our latest innovation.”
Wireless coverage and backup designed for large-scale infrastructure
Ajax Systems stated that the Fire Hub Jeweller offers coverage of up to 1,800 metres and can support up to 200 devices and 40 fire zones.
To extend range, the company has developed the EN54 ReX Jeweller, which can be used with up to five extenders to increase system coverage to 35 km².
The Fire Hub includes built-in radio communicators and supports both mains connection and backup lithium-ion batteries that offer 24 to 72 hours of autonomous operation, depending on model.
The company added that the system meets the EN 54 series of standards for fire detection and alarm systems and also integrates intrusion detection and video surveillance capabilities in line with EN 50131 (Grade 2).
Detectors and sounders use dual-sensor smoke chamber and fast-alert VADs
The system includes a series of addressable smoke and heat detectors developed from Ajax’s residential product line.
According to Ajax Systems, the detectors feature a dual-spectrum optical sensor and the HazeFlow 2 algorithm for accurate smoke identification, alongside thermistors for heat detection.
Sounders and visual alarm devices are available as standalone or combined units, with the firm stating that activation occurs in under three seconds.
Devices support audible alerts up to 100 dB and red LED perimeter flashes designed for high visibility in varying conditions.
Integrated automation and visual verification capabilities
Ajax Systems said its EN54 I/O Module (2X2) Jeweller allows third-party device integration through two inputs and two outputs.
It can be configured to activate evacuation systems, control lighting or unlock access points during emergencies, even if the hub is temporarily offline.
Installers can create up to 64 automation scenarios per control unit, and additional Ajax smart relays and switches can be linked to the system for further emergency response automation.
Sergii Shcherbakov, Fire Team Product Manager at Ajax Systems said: “For too long, fire safety systems have been built to meet regulations, not expectations.
“At Ajax Systems, we’ve reimagined what a fire alarm system can be: intelligent hardware, top-tier and user-friendly software, fast installation, and convenient maintenance.
“This is fire safety as it should be — not just the product, but also a business advantage for our partners.”
Mobile configuration, real-time updates and maintenance access
Ajax Systems explained that installation requires no enclosure disassembly, and most devices connect via a QR code and SmartBracket mounting panel.
System maintenance and configuration are handled via Ajax apps, with device battery life ranging from four to seven years depending on the product.
The company added that all devices perform self-checks and send real-time status updates to the Fire Hub and the app.
Software updates are delivered over-the-air, with maintenance reports and battery replacements possible without tools.
According to the manufacturer, the system is suitable for both permanent and temporary installations where cabling may be restricted.
