Conventional Alarms
A well proven technology protecting hundreds of thousands of properties world-wide. Connected to a fire control panel, the alarm gives zoned indication of an activation.
Analogue Addressable Fire Panels
Designed for maximum adaptability, the panel gives accurate information on the location of fires, faults and system status.
Optical Detector
An extremely reliable product which is activated when smoke enters the optical chamber.
Ionisation Detector
Exceptionally efficient in detecting fast flaming fires. The system is activated by tiny smoke particles which enter the sensing chamber.
Heat Detector
Gives valuable, additional protection in areas such as kitchens where smoke detectors are not recommended. The alarm is triggered when the area around the sensor reaches a certain temperature.
Linear – Beam Detector
Activated when the beam s disturbed by the presence of smoke, this detector is an economical and safe choice for larger work spaces i.e factories.
Air Sampling
Can detect the presence of fire before smoke is visible. The system is activated by the presence of particles created in the very early stages of combustion.
Monitoring
For reliable and effective alarm monitoring, PHS Compliance recommends and supplies market-leading BT Redcare.

The service provides continuous monitoring of the BT ttelephone line that links your alarm system to our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). The result is continuous protection of your property, every second of the day, 365 days a year.
Unlike other alarm monitoring services, Redcare alerts the Alarm Receiving Centre when it detects a line cut AND provides encryption to prevent the substitution of equipment or “spoofing” (emulation) of line conditions.
