Simplifying Fire Safety Compliance with Nimbus
As fire safety regulations evolve, staying compliant can be a challenge, especially when it comes to the latest updates in BS5839-1:2025. Fortunately, Nimbus Connect and nimbusGo are here to make compliance smarter, faster, and more efficient.
🔔 Smarter Communication with Fire and Rescue Services
Traditionally, Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) receive generic fire or fault signals with limited context.
Clause 14.10 now recommends that, where practicable, transmitted signals should include:
🚨The nature of the device that triggered the alarm
🚬Whether multiple devices have activated
🛌Relevant site information (e.g., sleeping accommodation)
Nimbus Connect enables this enhanced communication by transmitting detailed secondary signals to ARCs, including:
✅ Device type and location
✅ Panel, loop, zone, and address numbers
✅ Real-time event logs
This ensures fire and rescue services are better informed and can respond more effectively.
🚀 Future-Proof Your Communication with the Fire and Rescue Service.
Whether you're a service provider, building manager, or fire safety officer, Nimbus offers the tools to help compliance with the latest updates to BS 5839-1:2025. From smarter ARC communication to seamless zone verification, Nimbus is redefining fire safety for the digital age.
🧠Zone Plan Verification Made Easy
Clause 43.3.25 introduces a new requirement: during service visits, engineers must verify that the zone identification on the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) matches the zone plan.
This process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive often requiring two engineers or repeated trips between devices and the panel to verify that the zone plan and device text is accurate.
📲Enter nimbusGo: a portable device and engineer app that streamlines zone chart verification by:
✅ Displaying real-time device status and zone data
✅ Logging pass/fail/advisory results instantly
✅ Reducing labor time and improving accuracy
With nimbusGo, engineers can achieve compliance effortlessly while enhancing service efficiency. They can document errors with zone plans and device text labels in real-time as activations appear on their mobile app.
