How WES3 works
Early detection is the key to protecting and safeguarding your staff, business and greater community. Air horns and fire extinguishers may not be enough to mitigate a fire before it gets out of control.
You can set WES3 up in under 15 minutes and have it distributed throughout the building. Now you have a smoke and fire alarm, security monitor and emergency alert and evacuation system all in one.
WES3 is made of wireless units placed based on the site’s fire prevention plan. The units connect to form a network so if a fire breaks out, any unit triggers an automatic site-wide alarm.
The control unit pinpoints the exact location of the triggering unit. All relevant personnel are notified immediately by text message when coupled with the REACT phone app.

Easy set up that requires no special tools or expertise.
Protection that’s ready when you are.
The units that make up the WES3 system can be deployed as soon as the building is out of the ground. Setup is quick and easy – it takes just a few minutes for your units to be a network on active duty protecting your site and workers.
Units are placed in accordance with your fire plan – usually at each stairway and elevator – and can be added as the build progresses. Units can be numbered according to your fire plan for easy identification in the event of an emergency. Heat, smoke and unique dust-resistant sensors provide active evacuation protection in enclosed areas.
Ditch the air horn
