8 ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • Optical smoke alarms Optical sensors employ an infrared beam to detect the presence of smoke, effectively responding to slow, smouldering fires. The range incorporates the following alarm options: • Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery. • Powered by mains with 9V replaceable battery. • Powered by a sealed tamperproof 10-year lithium battery. Heat alarms These alarms utilise a thermistor, which acts as a heat sensor, capable of detecting temperature fluctuations. The alarm is activated when the temperature reaches 58°C. • Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery. • Powered by mains with 9V replaceable battery. • Powered by a sealed tamperproof 10-year lithium battery. Smoke and heat alarms Equipped with optical and heat sensors, these alarms are capable of responding to a broad range of fires, from fast flaming to slow smouldering incidents. Intelligent software continuously monitors both sensors at all times. • Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery. • Powered by a sealed tamperproof 10-year lithium battery. Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms These alarms identify the presence of Carbon Monoxide gas emitted by the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as gas, wood, oil, and coal. They provide an early visual alert of rising concentration levels of carbon monoxide prior to full alarm activation for extra safety. The magnitude of the electric current generated is directly proportional to the level of CO present. • Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery. • Powered by a sealed tamperproof 10-year lithium battery. CO and heat alarms These alarms utilise two distinct sensors to monitor both fire and carbon monoxide (CO) independently and are suitable for kitchen areas equipped with fuel burning appliances like gas boilers or cookers. • Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery. • Powered by a sealed tamperproof 10-year lithium battery. The alarms in all five categories above boast a number of key features: • Compact design, with lock-in base. • Auto sensor test – the alarm selfchecks the sensor. • 24 hour memory function. • Hush function, which silences the alarm activation for 10 minutes. Accessories ESPi has also brought together a collection of valuable accessories to enhance the Espire range. These include RF modules; relay bases; red IP65 strobe with selectable sounder; remote control switches; multi-tool – RF pairing and lockin base release tool; and flameretardant alarm masking plate. Supporting the Trade Understanding the needs of installers and wholesalers/ distributors alike is crucial for the success of the Espire range and ESPi has developed a robust trade support programme that is designed to help installers and wholesale customers to get the very best from the Espire range of products. As well as a free training and advice facility with product overview training days available, electrical contractors and wholesalers will also have access to a dedicated technical support resource, with a team of experts ready to assist with any technical queries, ensuring smooth installations and customer satisfaction. Looking Ahead With a strong focus on reliability, compliance, innovation and sustainability, ESPi believes it is poised to make a significant impact on the fire and CO alarm sector with its Espire range. As safety standards and technology continue to evolve, this new name is set to lead the way in protecting lives and properties. www.espireuk.com www.espi.ie ESPi
