COVER STORY
A COMPREHENSIVE OFFER The Espire fire and safety alarms are suitable for Grade D1, Grade D2 and Grade F1 installations. The range incorporates the following alarm options: • Optical smoke alarms: Optical sensors employ an infrared beam to detect the presence of smoke, effectively responding to slow, smouldering fires. • Heat alarms: Utilise a thermistor, which acts as a heat sensor, capable of detecting temperature fluctuations. The alarm is activated when the temperature reaches 58°C. • Combined smoke and heat alarms: Equipped with optical and heat sensors, these alarms are capable of responding to a broad range of fires. Intelligent software continuously monitors both sensors at all times. • Carbon monoxide (CO) alarms: Identify the presence of carbon monoxide gas emitted by the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as gas, wood, oil and coal. They provide an early visual alert of rising concentration levels of carbon monoxide prior to full alarm activation for extra safety. • Combined CO and heat alarms: Utilise two distinct sensors to monitor fire and CO independently and are suitable for kitchen areas equipped with fuel- burning appliances such as gas boilers or cookers. Plus, there’s a range of accessories on offer. The optical smoke alarms and heat alarms are available in the following options: • Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof, 10-year lithium battery. • Powered by mains with a 9v replaceable battery. • Powered by a sealed tamper-proof, 10-year lithium battery The combined smoke and heat alarms, CO alarms, and combined CO and heat alarms are available in the following options:
