Cofem, sponsor of the 2nd PCI North Zone Congress, presents its differential technology in detectors with integrated alarm
The 2nd PCI North Zone Congress, organized by AVACOI (Basque Association of Fire Protection Companies), was held at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, a benchmark event for professionals in the sector that brought together installers, maintainers, engineers, architects, and security technicians from all over the north.
Cofem participated as a sponsor in this professional meeting, consolidating its presence in a congress that addressed the most current challenges of fire protection, from the new Fire Safety Regulations in Industrial Establishments to technological innovations that are transforming the sector.
Antonio Vinuesa Presents the Advanced Functionalities of the SDAI
One of the highlights was the presentation by Antonio Vinuesa, technical director of Cofem, who shared his knowledge about the functionalities of the Fire Detection and Alarm System (SDAI), placing special emphasis on a technology that clearly differentiates us in the market: fire detectors with integrated acoustic and visual alarm functionality.
This presentation allowed the professionals attending to learn firsthand how the integration of detectors with audiovisual capabilities represents a qualitative leap in fire protection, especially in environments where traditional notification may be insufficient.
A50xxLD Detectors: Exclusive Innovation in the Spanish Market
Cofem is currently the Spanish manufacturer that offers UL-EU certified detectors that incorporate integrated visual alarm device (VAD) and sound functionality. The A50xxLD range represents an unprecedented innovation in the national sector, combining advanced detection with audiovisual notification in a single device.
This comprehensive solution eliminates the need to install separate notification devices, which translates into:
- Reduction of installation and maintenance costs
- Optimization of space and aesthetics of the installations
- Greater operational efficiency in the management of security systems
- Regulatory compliance according to EN 54-23 for visual alarm devices
Technology Designed for Critical Environments
A50xxLD detectors with integrated alarm are especially valuable in multiple scenarios:
- Industrial environments with high ambient sound pressure
- Installations where personnel use hearing protection
- Spaces with the presence of people with hearing problems
- High-occupancy areas such as hotels, residences, or gyms
- Critical evacuation routes such as corridors and stairs
The integrated audiovisual functionality guarantees effective alerts through stroboscopic LED signals at 0.5 Hz accompanied by tones above 85 dB(A), complying with the European principle of activating two senses in emergency situations.
UL-EU Certification: Seal of Quality and Differentiation
The UL-EU certification, issued by UL Solutions, positions Cofem as a pioneer among national manufacturers by demonstrating compliance with the most demanding safety standards. This voluntary certification covers all electrical and electronic products, indicating compliance with EN safety standards and facilitating marketing throughout the European Union with global recognition.
Continuous Commitment to the Sector
Cofem’s participation as a sponsor of the 2nd PCI North Zone Congress reinforces our commitment to continuous training and the exchange of knowledge with professionals in the sector. Events such as this, which include technical presentations, round tables with fire departments, and networking spaces, are essential to promote innovation and raise safety standards in fire protection.
We thank AVACOI for organizing this high-level professional meeting and all the attendees who visited our stand to learn more about the new line of A50xxLD detectors with integrated light and sound functionality.
