Construction sites are busy places full of activity and equipment in operation, presenting a heightened level of risk to the health and safety of construction workers and visitors. Accidents or unexpected events can happen at any moment, but by responding quickly you can gain control over the situation and keep your team safe.

Many of Australia’s leading contractors utilise Cygnus wireless alarm systems to enhance their site safety, with these systems covering everything from site evacuation through to first aid alerts, fire detection, exclusion zone alarms and site security alarms.

Protect your workers and valuable assets with a Cygnus wireless alarm system from Checkpoint Group. Here are 5 reasons to invest in a system and upgrade your site safety today.

Quick and easy to install

When it comes to installation, Cygnus systems couldn’t be easier. Generally speaking, it takes only a few minutes to be up and running. When placing an order, just let us know the details of your project and you will be provided with project-based pricing. Your alarm system can also be pre-configured to help speed up the install time. Because these systems are wireless, you don’t need to worry about pesky cables, drilling holes or adding additional protection.

Suitable for sites of all sizes

Cygnus wireless alarms are suitable for sites big and small, as they are capable of operating up to 480 devices in 15 zones. Within each zone, you can have up to 32 devices connected via the wireless mesh network. Full control over the zones can be gained using a control panel. When the alarm is sounded, the control panel will receive a notification of the exact location. The notification can be received on site staff phones or site radios. If you need to expand your system as your site grows, this is easy. Simply add new devices or move your existing wireless alarms and detectors around to suit your needs. With Cygnus, you can enjoy efficient and reliable full site protection.

Reliable, strong connection

It is critical that your wireless alarm system is functional in all conditions, and Cygnus has been purpose-designed to operate in modern construction sites, many of which feature dense concrete and complex steel structures. Many different radio frequencies can be used on site at the same time, and Cygnus has been tested to operate in open air environments at distances over 1km. The network meshing system utilised by Cygnus ensures a stable and reliable connection on site.

Cutting edge technology

Utilising the latest technologies, Cygnus systems give you full control over the performance of your devices. You can monitor the status of all your devices using the control panel, and you will also be notified of any signal faults and low batteries. Rapid innovations in technology have made it possible for wireless fire alarms to overtake the traditional wired units in a short span of time.

Adapted to your needs

Each site requires different solutions. Cygnus alarm solutions cover all bases, enabling you to quickly install intruder alarms, fire alarms, interface units and first aid alert facilities in a matter of minutes. With all needs covered, you can rest assured that your site and workers are safe and sound.
