Diagral launches a new smoke detector

 

April 2011,   DIAGRAL, a specialist in the security of property and people, offers its new SOLO 501 F smoke detector, an ideal solution for detecting slow-growing fires that can smolder for many hours before igniting.   By March 2015, all homes must be equipped with a smoke detector. Remember that it is the responsibility of every tenant or owner of a house or apartment to install a detector that meets NF DAAF-certified standards and to ensure that it has all the features necessary to flawlessly perform its monitoring and alarm functions. Failure to do so could result in insurers penalizing their clients.   The DIAGRAL SOLO 501 F ensures you can make the right purchase as it has the NF DAAF and CE 03333 conformity marking, as well as approval with the NF-EN 14604 standard and also has all the qualities needed to ensure safe operation, 24 hours a day.   Made in France, SOLO 501 F presents the technological advantages capable of providing peace and security. The principle is simple: this small box to be screwed to the ceiling emits, in the presence of smoke, a shrill alarm intended to wake up the heaviest sleepers.   Simple and reliable detection   Particularly suitable for detect fire outbreaks which smolder for many hours before igniting. SOLO 501 F triggers the alarm in the event of smoke thanks to a high and constant optical detection system, even in the event of fouling. A self-test, every 10 seconds, controls an external indicator light which signals normal operation of the detector, anomalies and triggers.

The built-in siren warns of its condition if the alkaline battery it uses reaches the end of its life (approximately 5 years). In addition, a device prohibits installation without this battery.

The detector can be switched off for 15 minutes in the event of non-hazardous smoke emissions. Operating ranges from -10°C to +55°C.   No need to have great DIY skills   SOLO 501 F is autonomous, requires no programming and its maintenance is minimal: it is limited to changing the battery and a monthly press on the function tester button. Its installation is ultra simple: just attach the base, the rest of the device clips in.   DIAGRAL recommends installing a SOLO 501 F smoke detector in each room of the home, including on upper floors and in the attic in order to cover successive detection circles of around fifty square metres each. However, its installation is not recommended in rooms where there is a risk of condensation (bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.) and where fumes may be released (kitchen or poorly ventilated garage). Safety doesn't preclude aesthetics and fashion. Its understated, contemporary design allows the SOLO 501 F smoke detector to blend discreetly into any home.   Other technical characteristics   · External test button to check the detector is working correctly. · Power supply by 9V alkaline battery (6 LR 61) supplied. · Self-checking of the power supply status and the level of fouling of the detection head.
