Potter Electric Signal Company Security Systems

Potter's nitrogen generation systems replace oxygen in dry-pipe sprinkler systems with nitrogen gas, preventing corrosion that causes pinhole leaks and pipe failure. Without nitrogen, dry systems typically need replacement every 12-15 years. With Potter's nitrogen systems, pipes can last 50+ years. This technology can save facilities hundreds of thousands of dollars while preventing catastrophic water damage from pipe failures.

Yes! Potter's PFC-4410 series uniquely combines fire alarm and security in one panel. This integration reduces equipment costs, simplifies operation, and provides unified monitoring. One keypad controls both systems, and events are logged together for better incident investigation. This approach is perfect for businesses wanting comprehensive protection without the complexity of separate systems.

Potter offers one of the industry's best warranties - 5 years on most products compared to the typical 1-2 years. This reflects their confidence in product quality and USA manufacturing standards. The warranty includes technical support, and Potter maintains parts availability for decades. Many Potter systems installed in the 1990s are still operating reliably with full support available.

Potter systems offer excellent value. Basic fire panels start around $2,000 installed. Combined fire/security systems range from $4,000-$12,000 for most commercial applications. Nitrogen generation systems cost $8,000-$20,000 but often pay for themselves by preventing one pipe replacement. We provide ROI analysis showing long-term savings, especially for facilities with dry-pipe sprinklers.

Absolutely! Potter specializes in sprinkler monitoring and protection. Their devices work with any manufacturer's sprinkler system. For facilities with dry-pipe systems, adding Potter nitrogen generation can extend system life dramatically. Their waterflow switches and tamper devices are considered the industry's most reliable. We often upgrade just the monitoring components to Potter while keeping existing sprinkler piping.
