Call Systems Technology’s (CST)
AlarmCall system is designed to
reduce time the wasted in reacting to
false alarms, yet it preserves high
levels of safety.

CST says that the system is now
implemented in ASDA stores in the
UK. Customers and staff must be
evacuated when a fire alarm occurs.

Every evacuation causes lost sales,
wasted food and other losses, and
false alarms are upsetting for
customers. ASDA opted for CSTs
AlarmCall system in its stores as it
reduced false evacuations by half in
trials (and continues to do so).

AlarmCall equips trained Fire
Investigators to distinguish between
emergencies and false alarms in the
time between an alarm sounding and
the fire service being called. CST
pagers, connected wirelessly to the
system, receive an alarm’s location.

Safeguards detect when multiple
devices activate simultaneously and
call out the service.
