previous Firex® alarms and highlights several new advanced features. These include an Alarm Memory Function where a flashing LED continues after an alarm has been triggered to easily and quickly identify the source unit. The three new optical alarms now feature dust compensation and a bug screen to help minimise nuisance alarms. All the models retain popular Firex® features including a combined Test/Hush button, Auto-reset facility and a tamper-resistant locking device. Up to 23 Firex® alarms can be interlinked

or many years, Firex® has proved itself as a popular range of cost- effective hard-wired,
alarms. A particularly important benefit is the substantially lower, maximum mains energy consumption of less than 15mA – in the order of just 3.5W and less than many household items left on standby (such as 8.5W for the PS4 Console). This represents a 70% energy saving over previous models, ensuring significantly lower running costs and improving a building’s sustainability credentials.
Additional accessories Additional accessories are also available for use with Firex® alarms including a surface- mounting base that allows simple installation, particularly for retrofitting with trunking or conduit, and a relay pattress to operate other devices – such as door-closers, warning lights, horns and warden-call systems – when an alarm is triggered. The wired Remote Test and Hush unit allows for system testing of interconnected alarms and to hush unwanted alarms from a single location. Firex® is manufactured and supplied
exclusively by Kidde, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation.
