Thanks

Ahh,but there's no central monitoring with the dorgards and they are dependant on the acoustic volume of the sounder to set it off.

You get them with a control unit now for noisy enviroments.

EMS make them under licence to Dorgard.

I prefer the stand alone acoustic dorgards you can charge for a site visit and audibility test 1st

hmmmm trouble is i just don't like the mechanical bits.... we need to fit some magnets in a school and dorguards will last about as long as the average extinguisher !

I must admit i am confused - I have always been under the impression that datonte' door hold units should release as fail safe if there is a fault on the fire alarm system, Being connected to control output signal only, not alarm signal, as all interface should be, or have BS: Standards been relaxed.

Also localised detection should installed either side of a door that has devices fitted ?

I'd need to read 5839 to clarify but I don't see an issue using Dorgards.

What I would say is Dorgards are approved and fitted nation wide & surely fire risk assessment decides since 10/2006.

This is the legislation & FAQ's page of their website - http://www.dorgard.com/DorgardLegislationAndFAQs.asp

That would depend on the category of alarm IMO i.e no difference in internal room doors on an L4 for example

i think closing on fault was a CFO recommendation
