FireAngel, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of smoke, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) devices, is supporting electrical contractors in achieving the highest levels of CO protection with its new range of battery powered CO alarms, which comply with the latest EN 50291-2:2018 standard.
Featuring 10 year sealed for life lithium batteries and supplied with five year warranty, the FireAngel FA3328 and FA3820 battery powered CO alarms contain electrochemical sensing technology that provides an accurate and proven method of sensing carbon monoxide, in line with latest requirements.
The alarms’ low level monitoring function contains an intelligent sensor that increases its sensing rate for detection of low levels of CO, in line with the new informative annex in EN 50291-2:2018.
This reduces health risks of CO poisoning from constant low CO concentrations, whilst simultaneously preventing the build-up of dangerous levels of CO, by detecting levels as low as 10ppm. The cost effective and efficient alarms also provide rapid alerts to dangerous CO levels.
Both alarms are supplied with three LEDs that provide clear indication of different conditions and faults to simplify the user experience.
The alarms also contain increased sound output to 85dB, for enhanced user safety, whilst the number of potential interference gases has also been increased to provide enhanced resistance to nuisance alarms.
Under EN 50291-2:2018, tests for optional alarm silencing facilities have been added to increase user safety by eliminating the ability for the alarm to be silenced at concentrations of over 300ppm. To support regular testing, the new FireAngel alarms feature a quiet test function.
The FA3328 CO alarm with SYNC-ITTM (NFC) technology features advanced data extraction capabilities as the Near Field Communication (NFC) syncs with the Cloud to provide all alarm data and maintenance information as a pdf report that can be shared or exported.
