Smart new wireless fire safety system from Fireco

New System X from Fireco, the UK's experts in dedicated fire alarm listening technology, is a smart communication system that uses the very latest radio technology to automatically signal a fire alarm condition to all linked X products - Dorgard X and Deafgard X - within a 100m site specific range.

How does it work?

System X consists of a transmitter unit (TX) incorporating the very latest radio technology, which is positioned beside the fire alarm bell or sounder. On identifying an alarm condition the unit automatically signals to all Dorgard X and Deafgard X units within range. As each Dorgard X unit receives a signal from the TX unit it releases the fire door it is holding open, allowing it to close and preventing the spread of fire and smoke. As each Deafgard X bedside unit receives a signal from the TX unit, the high intensity strobe LEDs and connected vibrating pad are activated. The flashing LEDs and LCD provide visual indication that the fire alarm is sounding, allowing the deaf or hard of hearing user to leave their room to a place of safety.

Dorgard is the wireless solution that offers the simplest, most cost-effective way of legally holding open fire doors safely in any position, automatically releasing them should the fire alarm sound. With more than 250,000 units sold in the UK alone, Dorgard is acknowledged as an established technology offering a solution in any environment. Dorgard complies fully with all relevant British standards, EC directives and UK fire regulations.

Deafgard is a wireless, acoustically-triggered bedside unit that uses high intensity strobe LEDs and a connected vibrating pillow pad that, when placed under the pillow, vibrates to wake the sleeper upon the fire alarm sounding. Flashing strobe LEDs and LCD provide visual indication that the fire alarm is sounding, alerting the individual to leave the building to a place of safety. One of Deafgard's great advantages is its moveability, meaning that no alterations need to be made to individual rooms.

Fireco are asking for illegal fire door wedges to be sent to them in exchange for £5 off each Dorgard unit bought. Plus, Fireco is pledging to donate £1 for every Dorgard sold from this campaign to burns charities. The campaign is expected to raise thousands of pounds for burns charities that care for victims of fire.
