Fire Sounder Flasher: Your Dual-Action Guardian for Enhanced Fire Safety

Overview

The Fire Sounder Flasher is a critical component of any modern fire alarm system, designed to provide both audible and visual alerts in the event of a fire or emergency. By combining a powerful sounder with a high-intensity flasher (strobe), this single, integrated unit ensures that alarms are effectively communicated to all occupants, including those with hearing or visual impairments, or in environments with high ambient noise or low visibility. Engineered for reliability and compliance, our Fire Sounder Flasher offers superior performance and peace of mind.

Key Features

• Dual-Action Alerting: Integrates a powerful multi-tone sounder and a brilliant Xenon or LED flasher into a single, compact unit. This dual functionality ensures comprehensive notification for all building occupants.
• Powerful Multi-Tone Sounder:
  • High sound output (typically 90-110dB @ 1 meter) to cut through ambient noise.
  • Multiple selectable tones (e.g., continuous, intermittent, DIN, slow whoop) to suit various regional regulations and application requirements.
  • Volume control options on some models for fine-tuning to specific environments.
• High-Intensity Visual Flasher (Strobe):
  • Bright, attention-grabbing light output (e.g., 15cd, 30cd, 75cd, 110cd, 177cd options) for maximum visibility.
  • Typically utilizes long-life Xenon strobe tubes or high-efficiency LEDs for reliable, long-term operation.
  • Clear, red, or amber lens options available, with red being standard for fire applications.
  • Flash rate usually 1Hz (once per second) for clear signaling.
• Synchronized Flashing: Essential for large areas with multiple units, ensuring all flashers activate in unison to prevent disorientation and comply with accessibility standards (e.g., ADA, EN54-23).
• Robust & Durable Construction:
  • Manufactured from high-grade ABS or polycarbonate material, offering excellent impact resistance and UV stability.
  • IP-rated enclosures (e.g., IP21C for indoor, IP55/IP65 for outdoor) ensure protection against dust and moisture, suitable for a wide range of environments.
  • Wide operating temperature range for consistent performance in diverse climates.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for efficiency, minimizing current draw on the fire alarm control panel and its power supply.
• Easy Installation: Features a simple two-wire connection to the fire alarm loop (or conventional zone), with a versatile base allowing for surface or semi-flush mounting. Tamper-proof fixings ensure security.
• Compliance & Certifications: Meets rigorous international and local standards such as EN54-3 (Sounders), EN54-23 (Visual Alarm Devices - VADs), UL, cUL, and CE marking, ensuring product quality and regulatory adherence.

Benefits

• Enhanced Safety for All: Provides crucial alerts for both hearing and visually impaired individuals, ensuring inclusive fire safety in public and private buildings.
• Streamlined Installation & Cost-Efficiency: A single unit simplifies wiring and installation, reducing labor costs and material requirements compared to installing separate sounders and flashers.
• Unwavering Reliability: Built with high-quality components and robust materials for long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
• Clear & Unmistakable Alert: The combination of loud sound and bright light ensures that fire alarms are immediately recognized and acted upon, even in challenging environments.
• Aesthetic Integration: Designed with a modern, low-profile aesthetic that blends seamlessly into various architectural settings.
• Guaranteed Compliance: Fully certified to relevant fire safety standards, providing peace of mind for specifiers, installers, and building owners.
