Fire Supression

The Ardent R107-approved bus fire suppression system uses Linear Heat Detection Cable (1) that is routed around the fire hazard areas in the engine compartment. When the cable is exposed to a fire, it sends a signal to the Control Module (2). The Control Module then initiates the system discharge. This process is extremely quick, allowing the system to actuate immediately to put out the fire in a matter of seconds.

The Dry Chemical ABC suppression agent contained in the tank (3) travels through the distribution network (4) and is discharged through critically located nozzles (5) aimed at the identified fire hazards in the engine compartment. The system offers an optional output to interface with the vehicle or with the Driver Messaging Unit (6).

Induction Loop

Driver/passenger
communication aid The entrance platform induction loop allows the driver to communicate directly with passengers using hearing aids, regardless of physical barriers and ambient noise.

Extensive connectivity and coverage
The system has the ability to cover listening areas outside of ‘priority seating’ – even the whole upper deck – with minimal interference, aiding passengers’ comfort and enabling them choice in where to sit.

Direct delivery of vehicle information systems messages
The induction loop system located in the saloon allows for the delivery of vehicle information system announcements directly into the hearing aid.

Compliant with disability and safety regulations
The system has been specifically designed to conform to the BS 7594 code of practice for AFILS and the PSVAR, which takes full effect in 2020.
