By introducing mesh technology into
fire safety and combining it with its
unique ASAtechnology, Siemens once
again proves its innovation power and
technology leadership.

Maximum protection with
easy-to-plan technology
Offer your customers the best fire
detection and highest flexibility:
With SWING, Siemens combines
the highly reliable mesh
technology with its own unique
ASAtechnology for the first time.
Reliability at its best
Radio fire detection is the ideal solution
for rooms or buildings of historical value,
with aesthetic or architectural restrictions
or for temporary installations. Thanks
to wireless technology, devices can be
quickly and freely positioned and reposi
-
tioned. This facilitates planning, allows
for cost-efficient installation and offers
a high level of freedom and flexibility
should room usage or building structure
change in the future.
SWING is the first radio fire detection
system on the market that uses the inno-
vative mesh technology instead of the
conventional star topology, increasing
radio connection security. Mesh technol-
ogy is well-
known and already proven in
the IT world.
Simple planning rules make
a significant contribution. A meshed
network also excludes the risk of an open
or short circuit. And because
all wireless
devices communicate with their neigh-
bors, at least two redundant paths are
always available to transmit information.
Furthermore, thanks to the unique
ASAtechnology™ from Siemens, the
SWING detector can be optimally adapted
to the current environmental condition
by simply choosing the application-
specific ASA parameter set. This makes
the detector the optimal solution for any
application – and also ensures highest
life safety.
High level of safety, easy planning
The whole system is easy to plan due to:
– Streamlined portfolio – consisting of a
gateway, one detector that fits all
requirements and a manual call point.
– Node functionality of all wireless
devices – each detector and manual call
point works as a node, which means
that shorter and stronger radio links
and a larger overall radio range
can be
planned.
– Simple planning rules for net size, max.
transmission distance and network den-
sity – no on-site measurement needed.
This building has a patio in the middle.
The wireless communication might be
hindered by the patio because there are
two walls to cross. By placing the gateway
in the optimal position, it is possible to
get around the patio by using only one
gate
way. Each node has at least two redun-
dant
paths to transmit information to the
gateway – and even the farthest detector
reaches the gateway within 3 hops.
This application example shows an of-
fice floor with an elevator. Between all
network nodes is a wall. That is why the
maximum transmission distance between
two nodes is no more than 20 m. When
the elevator is located on a different floor,
the wireless devices can communicate
through the elevator shaft.
The elevator is located on our office floor.
Now, the network nodes cannot communi
-
cate through the elevator shaft because of
the metal in the elevator. The nodes thus
automatically redirect information
via
another neighboring device and around
the
elevator shaft to the gateway.

Answers for infrastructure.
Our world is undergoing changes that force us to think
in new ways: demographic change, urbanization, global
warming and resource shortages. Maximum efficiency
has top priority – and not only where energy is concerned.
In addition, we need to increase comfort for the well-being
of users. Also, our need for safety and security is constantly
growing. For our customers, success is defined by how
well they manage these challenges. Siemens has the
answers.
