About the First Responder Sprinkler
Fire sprinklers are not applied in every building (only 3% in Western Europe) Why is that, because there are so many benefits: life safety, effective installation and minimize fire damage. But also there are limitations. The installation must be able to spread/disperse large quantities of water in order to control a fire. Therefore a large water supply and pump are required. This has a big impact on the building. At Unica Fire Safety we have been researching the further development of fire sprinkler technology. Our goal was to develop an innovative fire sprinkler system that is capable of fighting fires even more effectively and efficiently.
Solution
The First Responder sprinkler combines fire detection and fire sprinkler technology. The system consists of open sprinklers that are connected to a network of intelligent temperature sensors that continuously monitor the surrounding temperature. In case of a fire, the temperature sensors will detect any abnormal temperature increase in their vicinity. Utilizing the sensor data, the system can determine the exact location of the fire. Then, based on the speed and rate of the temperature development, either one or several fire sprinklers will be activated simultaneously.

About the Sprinkler Integrity Test (SIT)
Fire sprinkler standards such as the NFPA, FM and TB80 require that sprinklers are replaced over time, or that a sample of the sprinklers is tested instead. Unica has developed a new, innovative method to test the functionality of fire sprinklers on-site: the Sprinkler Integrity Test.
Solution
For the SIT-test, we use a mobile test device that is placed over the fire sprinkler. With special software and a professional heater, the temperature inside the box/unit will slowly be increased, until the sprinkler gets activated. During the test we will check whether the sprinkler activates within the required temperature range, and also whether sufficient water comes out. This way, we can tell if the piping is clear of any obstructions.
