ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 7 Innovative and cutting edge features Through its new Espire brand, ESPi is committed to equipping homes with trusted and reliable alarms to provide early detection and rapid response to potential threats. The range offers a number of innovative features, some of which are unique in the market: Auto-Dimming Power LED (patent pending) This cutting edge feature combines convenience, visibility and energy efficiency to provide a smarter and more intuitive user experience. With mains powered alarms, the power LED is required to remain on at all times; the LED will automatically dim during low light levels to reduce distraction and to not cause sleep disturbance. Stainless Steel Insect Mesh Barrier (patent pending) This acts as a physical barrier, preventing insects and other small particles from entering the sensitive components of the smoke alarm, helping to reduce false alarm signals. Dust Compensation All alarms with smoke sensors include an additional feature to reduce false alarms by recalibrating the chamber as increments of dust are collected. If the chamber re-calibrates 4 times or more, the alarm will provide an indication status that prompts action to clean the alarm. RF Link Adding additional life safety protection and installation flexibility, the alarms with the RF-Link function can be coded together wirelessly to create a system that sounds all alarms if one is activated. Mains powered alarms also include the function of hardwired interconnect. Lock-in base Provides a secure and fixed point of installation for the alarm head to slide onto. Once the alarm head is installed onto the locking base, a lever engages to provide tamper protection. This activates the battery circuit. Responsive thermistor This offers enhanced sensitivity, accuracy and responsiveness, ensuring the earliest possible detection of rising temperatures and potential fire hazards. 24-hour memory function (patent pending) For 24 hours after an alarm is triggered, the red LED will flash twice every 40 seconds to help identify the activation. To clear the indication, the Test/Hush button on the alarm is simply pressed. In the event that the memory function has been activated and an occupant has removed the head alarm from the base, the memory will be stored in the alarm for up to 10 days. The Espire range The Espire fire and safety alarms are suitable for Grade D1, Grade D2 and Grade F1 installations. ESPi
