We are an authorised Quantec Systems installer

Here at APS we have several years of experience at commissioning and installing reliable and cost effective Disabled Refuge Systems that meet BS 5839-9 standards. All non-domestic buildings with more than one storey must, by law, have a refuge point at which anyone who cannot easily use a fire escape or stairs during an emergency can wait in relative safety for help to escape and there must be an effective two way means of communication in place at that point.

These systems come in two types;

Type A – Fire Telephone Outstations

These systems comprise of a telephone handset, usually in a lockable steel cabinet, typically located at entrances and fire-fighting lobbies and allow fire marshals to communicate with building control during an emergency.

Type B – Disabled Refuge Outstations

Type B are intercom style outstations that offer hands-free duplex speech to allow anyone in a refuge area to communicate with building control at the touch of a button and include connections for an optional induction loop system.

Our Disabled Refuge Systems include:

  • SigTEL 4-64 Line Controllers. Comprising of two wall-mounting master controllers (ECU-4 and ECU-8, handling 4 and 8 lines respectively) and with an eight-line expansion unit these would be located in a building’s control room or fire services access point. This system allows you and/or the fire services to communicate via a telephone-style handset with the system’s outstations.
  • SigTEL 16-128 Line Controllers. C-TEC’s 16-128 line system utilises both Type A and Type B outstations. Comprising of one CCU-16 16 line Master Control Unit, up to seven 16 line Expansion Units, and separate ECU Desk Controller is also required to allow operators to communicate with the system’s outstations.
  • 12V Xenon Strobes. Our strobes can be interfaced to a Type A or Type B outstation to provide visual notification of incoming calls. Each one requires a SDM Driver Module and 12V 1A PSU.

APS can also offer a maintenance programme to regularly check that your safety system is in line with regulations and working to full capacity Whatever type of building you have, we can offer a package to suit your requirements and budget.

What Our Clients Say

Our most recent testimonials:

East Midlands Demolition

The chap that came was brill. Very helpful, jolly and knew exactly what to do. A credit to your company.

Moran Structural Consultants

Just a note to say a big thanks to APS for your assistance and completed work. The service has been very professional and Dec who has been here on site this week was very good.

Sharon Athrton – Facilities Manager

We recently had a new intruder and fire alarm fitted in the premises that I manage. For such a large job there was minimal disturbance and the engineers were more than happy to work around our business requirements. The whole process from beginning to end was managed with a high level of professionalism and I would have no doubt in recommending APS to anyone who is looking for similar services.

Eggleston Steel Ltd

We have trusted APS with our fire safety, alarm and CCTV for many years now. A great company and very quick to react to any issues that we have with excellent staff throughout the business. Engineers are polite, knowledgeable, organised and experienced. Our business manager Tom Warrilow, having previously been an engineer, has the technical knowledge to be able to assist, advise and implement any requests that we throw at him. A pleasure to deal with APS from start to finish and I would highly recommend them.

Milltek Sport

Service from start to finish was excellent, knowledgeable on the options available and very competitive cost. Install completed on time and good follow up from APS after the installation, would highly recommend them.

DBS Managed Offices

We had a complex set up and requirements for a new fire alarm system, which needed a very detailed and tailored spec. This was accomplished by site visits with everyone involved, agreement to what was required and where it was to be sited plus much more. I have to say that the agreements were carried out to the last detail. The engineers on the day were conscientious and hard working, Jamie was friendly and helpful throughout (and since), the system is brilliant and the price was very competitive. Fully recommend APS.

Mellor Community Primary School

We have just transferred all of our security management to APS and from the outset the service has been exemplary. Over the past week or so we have had engineers on site who have been so professional in the mammoth task that they have had to carry out. A big thank you to Ash, Jenny and the team at HQ, who have answered queries really quickly. Also a big thank you to Martin (CCTV & Intruder engineer) & Jordan(Fire Safety engineer) for being so accommodating to our needs whilst on site.

Fiona – Procurement Manager

I contacted Jamie, and his help was invaluable, he was fast to come out and look at the job, and there work was so professional and he helped liaise with the fire officers of Derby. They have been fantastic and I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you.

John – Facilities Manager

I am very pleased to say that from the initial call to Chris to the completion of the full fire and burglar alarm installation everything went without a hitch. The team of engineers were very helpful and professional, I would certainly recommend them to any company looking for the services that APS provide, we have already asked for a quote for another site.

Inspire Gymnastics Academy

I originally came across APS while is was an Estates Manager for a large Educational Academy in Nottingham city. The companies that I inherited where not up to scratch, they would never repair our systems when we had called them out. This created huge admin issues trying to keep an eye on what they still had outstanding. APS and Chris are fantastic at what they do, the technical knowledge from sales to engineers is second to none. They came to site and repaired 98% of all issues they where called out for and I was told what need to be done to correct the other 2% of issues. . I can not recommend them highly enough. I have moved on and I am currently a Director at Inspire Gymnastics Academy and I have ensured the APS are our preferred Fire and Intruder Alarm Company. When we have hundreds of young gymnasts through our doors each night the systems must be spot on and I know Chris and the APS team will deliver. We will not go anywhere else. Thank you for your service and dedication to quality work.

Megavaux Limited

All work has been finished professionally on time and very friendly staff with no business interruptions at all. Chris Bee, was very helpful and Tom the engineer came after installations on 2-3 occasions to help us with additional training. I can recommend this company highly to anyone knowing their service and aftersales. Once again thanks to APS and their staff.

Mark – Loss Prevention Manager

We chose APS after a thorough and detailed ‘tender' process because we could tell at an early stage the level of professionalism and customer care we were signing up to. A year has passed and I can safely say our trust was not misplaced. Their office staff are efficient, the engineers are polite, knowledgeable and are willing to support our branches with ad-hoc training when it is required. The working relationship between our two companies is the best we could hope for in terms of understanding each other's requirements and limitations. APS have proven they can adapt to a company's needs without impacting their level of service and customer commitment. We would happily recommend APS Fire & Security to other businesses.
