Field fire alarm goes beyond benign office environments

The D112 has a maximum SPL of 119dB(A) at 1m at the nominal 24VDC fire alarm system operating voltage; the CPR compliance is valid for operation from 18-30VDC. The 48VDC version is also compliant. The VdS approval covers the five most commonly used fire alarm warning tones and also confirms that the units operate to specification under conditions of dry and damp heat, cold, shock and vibration. The aluminium enclosure complies with Type B environmental category, making it suitable for outdoor installation and supporting the extension of a fire detection system into areas beyond the relatively benign office environment, improving safety. Other tests include EMC, SO₂ corrosion resistance and dust and water ingress.

UL approved versions for general signalling use are also available. For this version, the aluminium enclosure is sealed to IP66, NEMA Type 4, 4X and 3R.

For use in a wide range of signalling applications, the AlertAlarm D112 offers a choice of 45 different alarm tones, and with the option of activating second and third tones via additional control cables, it is a cost effective, sophisticated signalling solution providing the versatility of multiple tones from a single unit. The alarm is also available as part of the DL112X, in which the horn sounder is integrated with a 5 Joule Xenon strobe, or as the DL112H combination unit, where the horn sounder is combined with a high output 24-unit LED array beacon.
