from Aico provides a cost-effective, convenient means of interconnecting Aico Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms to third party life safety systems such as Fire Panels, Telecare Devices and Sprinkler Systems. To help clarify the most popular connection options, Aico has introduced a new dedicated brochure, 'Are you Missing the Connection?'Most properties now have Fire Alarms - and many have CO Alarms, but these systems mostly work in isolation.
L The Ei414 Fire/CO Alarm Interface
provides a dedicated connection between these alarms and third party life safety systems, enabling an emergency signal to be transmitted directly to that system if fire or CO is detected. The new brochure explains how the Ei414 works and provides an installation overview.

New Flush Mounted Enclosures from Electrix E
Martindale Sponsors Skillelectric
lectrix International Ltd is proud to be referred to as the World’s leading manufacturer & stockist of Stainless Steel Cable Management Systems. Their brand new Stainless Steel Flush Mounted Enclosure Range (patents pending), designed specifically for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Dairy and Soft Drinks industries, is to be used where all cabling is conveyed within the cavity of the wall. The main body of the enclosure is recessed meaning that only the lid section and optional components are visible to the operator. The enclosure’s primary gasket, body and lid protect the contents of the enclosure to IP66, making them ideal for wash-down areas. A unique double gasket design ensures that the enclosures maintain an IP66 Rating, whilst also discouraging the ingress of foreign bodies into the wall cavity. Find out more:

to take up electrical apprenticeships, Martindale Electric was delighted to sponsor this year’s SkillElectric 2016, the electrical industry’s premier skills competition. The challenge was set over a two day period and saw eight top apprentices from around the UK carry out a series of practical tests and tasks at the NEC, in a bid to secure a place at the World Skills Event in Kazan, Russia in 2019. The event was organised by the two charities, NET Services, specialists in accreditation of electrical skills, and Worldskills UK. Using top of the range safe isolation kits, which were donated by Martindale Electric, apprentices were faced with a selection of workplace scenarios, typically faced by electrical installers.
