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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get them with a control unit now for noisy enviroments. http://www.safelincs.co.uk/product.php?xProd=339&xSec=88 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 C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.smith-group.com Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 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 ? Visit My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Also localised detection should installed either side of a door that has devices fitted ? That would depend on the category of alarm IMO i.e no difference in internal room doors on an L4 for example C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
