Fike Fire Alarm Systems: Intelligent Control, Fast Response, Seamless Suppression
Suppression Systems, Inc. (SSI) is the certified East Coast distributor and service provider for Fike Fire Alarm and Suppression Systems. Fike panels combine advanced detection, rapid response, and complete integration with clean agent, water mist, and CO₂ systems — providing intelligent protection for high-value assets and special hazards.
Whether you need ultra-fast detection in a data center or integrated suppression control for an industrial process, Fike systems deliver unmatched performance and reliability under NFPA 72 and NFPA 2001 standards.
Fike Cheetah Xi: The Intelligent Core of Fast Detection and Control
The Fike Cheetah Xi Intelligent Control Panel is one of the fastest and most flexible releasing panels on the market. With a quarter-second response time from alarm to activation, it outperforms traditional systems while offering a modular, peer-to-peer network design that supports up to 128 interconnected panels.
- Ultra-Fast Activation: 0.25-second detection-to-response capability.
- Peer-to-Peer Networking: No single point of failure, ensuring system survivability.
- Scalable Integration: Manages detection, suppression, HVAC shutdown, damper control, and elevator recall within one platform.
Integrated Suppression Control: Intelligent Fire Response in Seconds
Fike panels are engineered as releasing panels — built to activate suppression systems automatically during a fire event. Whether controlling clean agent systems (FM-200®, ECARO-25®, or Novec™ 1230), CO₂ release, or water mist deluge valves, Fike panels deliver coordinated control across the entire hazard zone.
- SHP-PRO: Compact releasing panel ideal for single-zone clean agent applications.
- Multi-Hazard Capability: Simultaneous control of suppression, alarms, and HVAC/damper functions.
- Full NFPA Compliance: Meets NFPA 72 (Detection), NFPA 13/15 (Sprinkler/Deluge), and NFPA 2001 (Clean Agent) standards.
Advanced Detection: From Air Sampling to Video Analytics
Fike panels are designed to integrate with a complete suite of high-performance detection technologies, ensuring immediate awareness in even the harshest environments.
- Flame Detectors: Detect ignition in less than 5 milliseconds with immunity to false alarms.
- Air Sampling Systems (QualiFire): Continuously analyze air samples for incipient smoke conditions.
- Video Analytics: Fike’s proprietary system identifies smoke, oil mist, and flame movement via camera detection.
- Linear Heat Detection: Cable-based technology providing continuous protection for conveyors, ducts, and cold storage areas.
FCP-300ECS: Voice Evacuation and Mass Notification
The FCP-300ECS combines high-speed detection and suppression release with voice evacuation and Mass Notification (UL 2572) capabilities. It supports 520 Hz low-frequency tones for occupant alerting in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 24 requirements.
- Integrated Audio: Delivers clear, synchronized emergency messaging.
- Expandable Channels: Modular design supports future growth and reconfiguration.
- Dual Functionality: One system for both life safety and communication needs.
