Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'extincteur d'incendie (100), et un procédé associé, pour la gestion de bâtiments, qui comprend un équipement de sécurité de vie, des capteurs (208, 210, 212) positionnés à proximité de l'équipement de sécurité de vie, et une unité d'analyse à distance (122) communiquant directement ou indirectement avec les capteurs (208, 210, 212) par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau multi-emplacement (124). L'équipement de sécurité de vie comprend une pompe à fluide (202), une section de tuyau de fluide (204) et une section de couplage de fluide (206). Les capteurs (208, 210, 212) détectent une caractéristique de fluide à l'intérieur d'un équipement particulier de l'équipement de sécurité de vie. L'unité d'analyse à distance (122) reçoit des données sur la base des caractéristiques de fluide détectées au niveau des capteurs (208, 210, 212) et détermine un état de défaut associé à un ou plusieurs équipements sur la base de la caractéristique de fluide.
