Silent Knight alarms help community college with hands-on learning
Delaware Technical Community College’s Fire Protection Engineering Technology program is using a Farenhyt alarm and emergency communications system from Silent Knight in its professional fire education training lab.
The Farenhyt IFP-1000ECS fire alarm and emergency communication system from Silent Knight was installed free of charge by Advantech, a local life safety and security systems integration firm. The new system will be utilized for students enrolled in the FET program to receive hands-on training in fire system design, maintenance, and programming. As Delaware Tech’s enrollment in the fire protection classes grew, it needed to incorporate more intensive training options of emerging fire alarm and emergency communication technologies to allow students to experience real-world scenarios. Furthermore, the college wanted a functional system that could tie into various suppression systems for training on suppression technologies as well.
