Firex 230v Smoked Detectors With Battery Backup

 

The most popular models in the Firex range, these dual supply, 230v mains, interconnectable units come with a long life Energizer Alkaline battery providing a standby supply for up to 4 years.  Alternatively the L models come complete with a Lithium battery for 10 year battery backup. A fresh battery will sustain the detector for approximately 6 years in AC power failure.

Up to 36 units may be interconnected (Using a hard wired extra core as a interlinking signal cable), with all units sounding when one unit detects a fire condition.  The alarm initiating the detection blinks a red LED every second while the red LED extinguishes on all the other interconnected units.

** Research has shown that the constant bleeping smoke alarm sound pattern can be absorbed subconsciously by children who may sometimes not wake up.  The new internationally recognised sound pattern provides 3 standby beeps followed by a one second pause follwed by 3 beeps.  This provides greater awareness of danger.
