Riello Multi Sentry keeps the entertainment flowing in Belfast’s cinema attraction!

The Multi Sentry’s combination of reliability, flexibility, and efficiency in a compact footprint make it the ideal solution to protect the 4D cinema seating in Belfast’s Cineworld. .

#Cineworld cinema complex in Belfast which opened its doors to the public on Friday 10th Dec 2021

The state-of-the-art 13-screen cinema complex is the first of its kind in Northern Ireland.

It offers an IMAX Laser auditorium, a multi-sensory 4DX experience, and a 270-degree panoramic ScreenX ensuring the ultimate viewer experience within the newly refurbished Odyssey Pavilion.

4DX

Exclusive to Cineworld in the UK and Ireland and rapidly expanding since its launch in 2015, 4DX adds extreme sensory thrills to your cinema experience. With stimulating effects like water, wind, scent and strobe lighting that are timed to enhance what’s happening on screen, you’ll be truly thrilled in your seat.

And speaking of your seat – it moves. The high-tech motion programming means it moves in time with the film’s action, and along with vibrations and shaking, you’ll feel like you’re part of the car chase; standing in the eye of the storm or steering the boat right into a tidal wave.

The Specific Solution

The client needed the 4D motion controlled seating protected by a UPS system allowing it to return safely to default position in the event of a power outage. To protect this high adrenaline experience Ashdale Engineering Ltd opted for the 60 kVA Multi Sentry UPS from Riello

Having installed and commissioned Multi Sentry in several other key sites across Northern Ireland including hospitals, data centres, and broadcasting facilities, Ashdale were very assured of the product’s reliability and suitability for this particular application.

The UPS was fitted with a Riello matching battery box, a NetMan 204 communications card to aid with monitoring and management, while the installation also incorporated wall-mounted four-pole wraparound bypass

As well as carrying out the battery installation and system commissioning, Ashdale Engineering Ltd will also provide ongoing UPS maintenance and support for the UPS .

Project Completed

“Despite the challenges posed by both COVID-19 and Brexit, which impacted on supplies getting into Northern Ireland, the project continued apace. Thanks to constant communication with Ashdale Engineering Ltd, who kept providing the client with regular updates on progress from delivery all the way to final commissioning, we were able to ensure a seamless handover within the agreed project timeframe.”
