First SecuriFire 3000 system successfully installed and commissioned in Hungary
The Franz Liszt Academy of Music is a concert hall and music university in the heart of Budapest, Hungary. Founded by the world-famous Hungarian pianist and composer, Ferenc (Franz) Liszt, in 1875, the Academy has ever since been Hungary's most prestigious centre of musical excellence.
The Academy moved into its present building in 1907, a masterpiece of art nouveau architecture located on Liszt Ferenc square in the centre of Budapest. As the years went by, this building became Academy's focal point, with ancillary sites dotted around the city. After almost 100 years, the building was in need of refurbishment and so was closed to allow the work to take place.
During this transition period, the Academy has continued its activities across five different locations; the refurbishment work, meanwhile, is almost completed. The Hungarian government granted the Academy tenure of the new building in 2006/2007. As an educational centre, the main building is due to provide more space for the students, accompanied by modern technology, good acoustics and a pleasant environment.
The client was immediately convinced by the unique SecuriFire concept and its advanced design, viewing it as a superb means of protecting the building with the latest technology from Securiton. The nerve centre of the SecuriFire 3000 fire alarm system is represented by two separate MIC 711 main indication and controls map panels. Thanks to the deployment of SecuriStar smoke and temperature detectors in combination with SecuriRAS aspirating smoke detectors and SecuriBeam detectors, the system offers reliable and immediate detection of any kind of a fire in the new building. In addition, the central visualisation offered by the SecuriLink UMS universal management system shows security staff the exact location of any incident within the building. Thanks to the professional installation and commissioning work carried out by Securiton kft, the client acceptance test and handover carried out in July 2011 were entirely successful.
