We always recommend fitting the User Interface outside of the risk area so that it is not necessary to enter the room to determine the status of the system. Warning to personnel inside the risk area is provided by alarm beacons which provide audible and visual indication in the event of a full (red) alarm. If for specific reasons you wish to site the unit inside the risk area, we have solutions to accommodate this also. The central control system is normally sited to accommodate wall space and ease of system installation.
