Fire alarm accessories are auxiliary devices used to enhance the effectiveness of fire alarm systems. They have various roles to play in helping to provide an early warning benefit and the potential to save life and property.
What are fire extinguisher accessories used for?
Fire alarm accessories are used in various environments including schools, offices, restaurants, hotels and private residences.
An emergency break glass, for example, allows building occupants to signal that a fire or other emergency exists in the premises. They are usually connected to a central fire alarm control panel which is in turn linked to the building's alarm system.
Automatic fire door holds will listen out for the sound of a fire alarm, and automatically close the fire door after a few seconds of a fire alarm going off. They enable you to safely and legally hold fire doors open, by allowing the door to close thus preventing the spread of smoke and fire.
