FIRE & LIFE SAFETY BMS INTEGRATION

When the alarm sounds, the building should already know what to do.

Fire and life safety interlocks, smoke control and cause-and-effect logic — designed, integrated and tested against the BMS you already run, on any head-end.

24/7 EMERGENCY · SAME-DAY CALLOUT · TREND / TRIDIUM / HONEYWELL / ECOSTRUXURE / METASYS

Fire signal not reaching the BMS. Smoke control not activating.

Fire Alarm Not Triggering BMS Response

Broken interlock between the fire panel and BMS controller, or a points mapping issue after a panel change.

Smoke Control Not Activating

Cause-and-effect logic out of date, or an HVAC shutdown sequence that was never re-tested after a plant change.

Door Release Failing on Alarm

Access control interlock miswired or dropped from the cause-and-effect matrix during a later system upgrade.

Failed Cause-and-Effect Test

One or more zones not producing the correct building response — traced, corrected and re-certified.

Fire strategy, wired correctly into the BMS.

Fire & BMS Interlock Integration

Wire and configure the interlock between fire alarm panels and the BMS head-end for a coordinated building response.

Cause-and-Effect Configuration & Testing

Build and verify the cause-and-effect matrix so every fire trigger produces the exact response the fire strategy requires.

Smoke Control & HVAC Shutdown

Configure automatic HVAC shutdown, smoke extract activation and pressurisation on fire alarm signal.

Door Release & Access Interlocks

Ensure door holds, maglocks and access control release correctly and immediately on alarm activation.

Post-Upgrade Re-Certification

Re-map and re-test interlocks after any fire panel or BMS head-end upgrade, with full documentation.

Emergency Callout

24/7 response for interlock or life safety faults, with same-day attendance for commercial sites.

Fire & life safety BMS integration, explained.

Who integrates fire alarm systems with the BMS?

Hazsentry integrates fire alarm and life safety systems with the building management system, including smoke control, interlocks and cause-and-effect logic, for commercial and industrial buildings across the UK. 24/7 emergency, same-day callout available.

Why isn't a fire alarm signal triggering the BMS response it should?

Usually a broken interlock between the fire panel and the BMS controller, an outdated cause-and-effect matrix, or a points mapping issue after a panel or firmware change. We trace the signal path and restore the correct response.

What is cause-and-effect testing and why does it matter?

Cause-and-effect testing confirms that a specific fire alarm trigger produces the correct building response — smoke control activation, HVAC shutdown, door release — exactly as designed. It's required after any change to fire or BMS systems and for ongoing compliance.

Can smoke control and HVAC shutdown be linked through the BMS?

Yes. We configure the BMS so a fire alarm signal automatically shuts down or reconfigures HVAC, activates smoke extract, and releases door holds, coordinated through a single cause-and-effect strategy.

How much does fire and life safety BMS integration cost?

Cost depends on the number of interlocks, the fire strategy complexity, and the existing BMS platform. We provide a fixed quote after a site survey and review of the fire strategy.

Do you work with Trend, Tridium, Honeywell, Schneider or Johnson Controls?

Yes. We integrate fire and life safety interlocks with Trend, Tridium/Niagara, Honeywell, Schneider EcoStruxure and Johnson Controls Metasys, regardless of who installed the original fire system.

Is fire and BMS interlock testing required under BS 5839?

BS 5839 governs the fire detection and alarm system itself; where that system interlocks with the BMS (smoke control, HVAC shutdown, door release), those interlocks need their own periodic cause-and-effect verification as part of the building's fire strategy.

Can you fix a fire interlock after a BMS or fire panel upgrade?

Yes. Panel and head-end upgrades frequently break existing interlocks and points mapping. We re-map, re-test and re-certify the full cause-and-effect chain after any upgrade.
