eXitfinder shows the way in fire alarm sounds
Fireco's eXitfinder is a directional indicator that illuminates to highlight the evacuation route in the event of a fire alarm sounding.
It is easily fitted with a minimum disruption and its features include fail to safe, night-time release and dual battery supply.
System X complies with BS 7273-4 category B.
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.
