Fireclass Addressable Fire Detection
Addressable panels, detectors and monitoring software for code-compliant fire detection — supplied, installed and maintained by Intech.
Brand overview
Addressable Detection by Fireclass
Fireclass is an addressable fire detection range covering control panels, the FC460 detector series and the software that monitors them. Every device on the loop reports its own address, so the panel names the device in alarm rather than a zone covering a floor.
The range scales from a compact single-loop panel up to multi-panel installations monitored from one place, with detector types selected per area rather than applied uniformly. Intech supplies, commissions and maintains the range.
- Device-level addressing The panel names the device and its location, not just the zone.
- Detector type per area Optical, heat, combined and CO detectors chosen room by room.
- Panels that scale From a compact loop panel to multi-panel installations on one system.
- Monitoring software Panel status and graphics for sites that need a supervised view.

System
How a Fireclass System Is Put Together
01
Initiating devices
Addressable detectors and call points report their own identity.
02
Control panel
The panel resolves each address to a device and a location.
03
Notification
Sounders and visual alarm devices operate to the evacuation strategy.
04
Connected systems
Cause-and-effect drives suppression, lifts, dampers and door release.

Addressable Series Detectors FC460
The FC460 range of detectors use the FireClass digital protocol to provide robust and reliable communications to the control panel. A wide range of cable types can be used and the open topology capability of the system makes it ideal for the upgrade of older systems whilst reusing the cables to reduce cost. FireClass FC460 detectors provide the best in class environmental and detection performance with the capability of detecting all fire types. The range includes an Optical/Heat Multisensor and Optical/Heat/CO Triple Multisensor.Automatic self testing of each sensor element offers reassurance of operation at all times and the 360º alarm, isolated and fault LED on each detector provides instant line of sight. Fourteen EN54 approved modes/sensitivities for the Optical/ Heat Multisensor help to provide one of the best and most versatile detectors on the market.
Addressable Combined Optical and Heat Detector
With its ability to detect a wide range of fires, from flaming to smouldering types, the combined optical and heat multisensor detector is the preferred choice for a range of applications including light industrial, retail and office environments. It operates in a number of approved modes and sensitivities that can be dynamically selected to suit different environmental conditions.
Addressable Smoke, Heat and CO Detector
For life protection and when the environmental conditions are challenging, the multisensor smoke, heat and CO detector provides the ultimate in detector performance. It uses the three sensor elements in concert to accurately determine the presence of fire with false alarm rejection properties that make it the ideal choice for hotel bedrooms where steam from bathrooms is a common source of false alarms.
Addressable Optical Detector
More benign environments where any potential fire will be slow burning can be protected using the optical detector. A choice of sensitivities gives this detector a broad range of applications.
Addressable CO and Heat Detector
The FC400CH is designed to transmit digital signals representing the status of the carbon monoxide and heat elements of the detector. For use with the FireClass 500 panel.
Addressable Heat Detector
Complimenting the range is the heat sensor which can operate in fixed temperature and rate-of-rise modes. It is most often used in areas where high levels of dust are present or where the environment precludes the use of smoke detectors.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What project teams usually ask about Fireclass.
Still have a question?
Speak directly with one of our fire safety engineers.
Call +91 88795 33000What is an addressable system?
Every device on the loop has its own identity, so the panel reports which device is in alarm and where, rather than a zone covering a whole floor.
Which Fireclass panel do I need?
It depends on device count, whether the site needs more than one panel and what the system has to control. The site assessment establishes that.
Why do detector types vary by area?
An optical detector is right in an office and wrong in a kitchen, where steam puts it in alarm weekly. Selection per area is what keeps a system trusted.
Can an existing panel be extended?
Often yes, depending on spare loop capacity. We confirm against the installed equipment before proposing anything.
Is monitoring software available?
Yes, for sites that need a supervised view of panel, loop and zone status. Whether it suits depends on how the site is managed.
Does Intech install and maintain it?
Yes — selection, design, installation, commissioning and AMC, with a device-by-device service record.
