When Communication and Safety Matter, This Is the Equipment People Choose.

At 167.6 metres, the tallest observation wheel in the world, the LINQ High Roller carries 28 rotating pods, each the size of a living room, giving guests a full 360-degree view of the Las Vegas Strip as they move freely around the car. Caesars Entertainment wanted every pod protected by its own fire alarm and life safety system, coverage no other attraction like it has, and to the best of our knowledge, no other fire alarm manufacturer in North America has delivered.

Each pod carries three smoke detectors and two pull stations, so a fire condition can be reported immediately, along with tamper switches on every access panel and the roof hatch to flag unauthorized entry. Every device reports to an SLC loop inside a Harding AC200 remote node installed in that pod. Since the pods never stop rotating, a hardwired connection back to a central panel isn’t possible, so each AC200 is fitted with a wireless network card that reports to a switch at the hub of the wheel, feeding a Harding FXiP fire alarm control panel in the operations center over the venue’s own proprietary network.

If a smoke detector or pull station activates, the FXiP panel tells operators exactly which pod and which device triggered it. If a tamper switch trips, whether from a guest or anyone else opening a panel or hatch mid-ride, the same panel flags it immediately. The system is supervised end to end. It wasn’t a code-driven requirement. Caesars Entertainment wanted this level of protection built into the ride, and Harding built it, on a moving platform, over a wireless connection, in a use case nobody else in the industry had solved.
