Device breakdown
Smoke detectors
Our smoke detectors are fully intelligent and both transmit and receive wireless signals as part of your larger fire saftey network. LED flash and beep patterns communicate the status of the device (including fault and tamper states) and long battery life plus built in dust traps ensure uninterrupted operation. These are highly reliable devices and include 'test' buttons for peace of mind.
Heat detectors
Designed to detect either a fixed temperature or a rise in temperature, our heat detectors can alert you earier to a source of fire. They're suitable in environements where smoke alarms are not, for instance, in kitchens where harmless smoke may be present. Our heat detectors are fully intelligent and both transmit and receive wireless signals as part of your larger fire saftey network, allowing you to address them remotely. They also come in a range of finishes to match your decor.
Wall sounders and beacons
Our cost effective audio-visual solution to fire detection alerts is our range of wall sounders and beacons. Completely wireless, these devices benefit from a long battery life and a highly reliable bi-communicational signal connecting them to the rest of your network. The sounders offer three selectable audio tones and a custom volume control.
Base sounders and beacons
Our base sounders and beacons are audio-visual alert devices that plug into, and draw power from, our Vega line heat and smoke detectors to form all-in-one units. They offer wide-angle and uniform sound distribution of 32 selectable tones, providing good audibility in all directions.
Manual call points
A simple but crucial addition to a fire safety network, our wireless call points allow the public on your premises to signal a fire by pressing the glass-free sensor. Each call point can be manually reset by key once triggered, denoted by a signal flag and alert LED.
Advanced control panels
You can manage absolutely every device in your fire safety network via the Mx-4200 control panel. It's proven around the world and has been used extensively in fire detection applications for a number of years. The user-friendly keypad input and LCD menu system allows you to control either one or two networks simultaneously, finding the source of faults, monitoring battery life of your devices and running diagnostics. You can even operate the panel from one of the extensive suite of PC based programs developed specifically for this model.
Wireless translator
Wireless translators are fully intelligent radio field devices offering bi-directional communication to boost capability in building a full addressable fire alarm system. With a high noise immunity and intelligence to resolve to clear frequencies, our translators can expand the size of your networked system more cost effectively.Read more product details
