About Response Indicator
The Response Indicator is connected to automatic fire detectors in order to indicate quickly the source of an alarm signal from detectors which are not easily accessible or visible. The indicators reflect changes in organisms, communities, processes, or landscapes that are caused by exposure to stressors. The response indicators contain an indicator lamp unit with one resp. two LEDs. It is source of an alarm signal from detectors which are not easily accessible or visible. The Response Indicator is very effective.
Reliable Visual Indication for Fire AlarmsEquipped with a high-brightness red LED, the Response Indicator delivers fast and clear alarm notifications without audible noise. Its visual cues are designed for visibility in corridors up to 30 meters, helping people to identify alarm zones effectively. The device powers on a nominal 24V DC and integrates seamlessly into both conventional and addressable fire alarm panels, making it suitable for a wide range of building safety applications.
Flexible Installation and Durable ConstructionConstructed from robust ABS flame retardant plastic, the Response Indicator is built for longevity and safety. Surface, wall, or ceiling mounting is straightforward using screws, and its compact dimensions make it suitable for various environments. It supports fire-resistant cabling with 2-core or 3-core wires, ensuring reliable alarm transmission with up to 100 meters wiring distance, all while meeting relevant standards for fire alarm signaling devices.
FAQ's of Response Indicator:
Q: How is the Response Indicator installed in fire detection systems?
A: The Response Indicator can be mounted on surfaces, walls, or ceilings using screws. It requires fire-resistant 2-core or 3-core cable (1-2.5mm2 recommended) for wiring to the detector loop. Ensure compatibility with your fire alarm control panel and follow manufacturer instructions during installation.
Q: What type of alarm signals does the Response Indicator display?
A: The indicator provides visual alarm status via a flashing or steady red LED depending on the system setup and alarm state. It activates instantly (within 1 second) when an alarm signal is received from a connected smoke, heat, or multi-sensor detector.
Q: When should I use this Response Indicator in my fire protection plan?
A: Install the Response Indicator wherever clear visual alarm notification is required, especially in corridors and areas where a silent, high-visibility device helps occupants quickly locate the source of an alarm. Use one indicator per detector loop for optimal coverage.
Q: Where is the Response Indicator most effectively used?
A: This device is suitable for installation in buildings protected by fire detection systems-such as commercial spaces, offices, hotels, apartments, and institutions-particularly in corridors up to 30 meters long to ensure alarm visibility in larger passageways.
Q: What is the process for connecting the Response Indicator to my fire alarm system?
A: Wire the indicator to your fire alarm panel using fire-resistant cable, ensuring the voltage supply falls within the 16-28V DC range and the control distance does not exceed 100 meters. Select the appropriate model for compatibility with either conventional or addressable panels.
Q: What are the operational benefits of using this Response Indicator?
A: The device provides silent, highly visible alarm indication, reliable operation under wide temperature and humidity ranges, and long service life matching your detector or panel's expected operational life. Its compact size and ease of installation make it a practical safety upgrade.
Q: Does the Response Indicator require regular maintenance or frequent replacement?
A: The Response Indicator is designed for low maintenance with a long operational lifespan, typically exceeding 10 years, provided it is installed correctly and connected to a compatible control panel and detectors. Regular system checks are recommended as per fire safety protocols.
