STOPS ELECTRICAL FIRE BEFORE THEY START

WES Hotspot is the latest ground-breaking fire safety solution from Ramtech Electronics Limited. WES Hotspot monitors electrical connections throughout a building, and in the event of an electrical fault - and potential fire risk - will deliver an instant alert to relevent personnel.

The addition of Hotspot to our market-leading WES range means that we can help protect your building from the risk of fire through it’s entire lifecycle, from initial construction through to final install and on-going occupation. By implementing a pre-ignition solution, you can stop fire before it starts, reducing the risk of damage to your property and safety of it’s occupants.

There are over 25,000 electrical fires in the UK each year, each causing damage to property and risking lives. WES Hotspot has been designed specifically as a pre-ignition solution to stop electrical fires from happening. This simple, effective monitoring of electrical components, connections and equipment enables the prompt detection of abnormal heat, and transforms a serious electrical fire risk into a simple maintenance issue.

WES Hotspot offers you comprehensive protection througout the electrical system, from individual appliances and sockets, through to distribution boards and similar electrical connections. The system combines sensitive heat detection with wireless communications technology, to create a fully integrated system that not only stops fire from starting but alerts your maintenance team to ensure the problem is quickly addressed.

Key features of the system:

• 24/7 heat monitoring ideal for consumer units,

distribution boards, sockets and appliances

• Can be easily fitted in new and existing

consumer units and distribution boards

• Immediate alert to key personnel via phone,

mobile device, fire alarm system or BMS

• Patented technology independently tested and

compliant with all wiring regulations

• Option to disconnect power to isolate fault,

where supply is via an RCD

WES Hotspot is more intuitive than existing protective

devices such as MCBs and RCDs because it responds

to the excessive heat caused by wiring faults and

overloads, some of the leading causes of electrical fires.

As a result, this unique system offers an innovative way

of preventing electrical fires in a range of devices.

WES Hotspot Product Range:

• Multi point sensor

• Single point sensor

• Enhanced twin socket

WES HOTSPOT - STAY CONNECTED

WES Hotspot offers a number of ways to wirelessly communicate events and alerts to site personnel, facilities management or electrical contractors. Receiving advanced warning of a potential issue allows you to take proactive and pre-emptive action to rectify the electrical fault, rather than an emergency response to an active fire. Connecting WES Hostspot to a communication output creates an integrated, wireless alert system. The easiest ways to link WES Hotspot to a communications device are:

Connect via WES3 Interface to WES3 network on site, with optional SMS output from the GSM Base Station

Connect via WES REACT to receive detailed notification in real time, from any mobile device or computer

Connect manually to an existing fire alarm or a Building Management System (BMS)
