ESP, part of the Scolmore Group, has expanded its Espire fire and CO alarm accessory range with the introduction of the new IP65 mains powered sounder strobe unit, engineered for a range of applications including apartment buildings, residential properties, HMOs and multi-occupancy dwellings, assisted living environments and student accommodation.
Building on the success of the previous model, the latest Espire sounder strobe has been designed to deliver enhanced functionality while simplifying installation. The unit operates directly with Espire interconnected alarms and does not require a relay base, helping installers reduce both installation time and overall project costs.
The mains powered sounder strobe activates an audible and visual alert when an Espire alarm signal is activated. This dual notification provides a clear indication of the alarm location, supporting quicker identification by residents and responding personnel.
Apartment developments typically incorporate Part 6 fire detection systems within living areas while communal areas and escape routes are protected by Part 1 systems. The new Espire sounder strobe integrates seamlessly with an Espire Part 6 system, providing a clear visual and audible indicator when an alarm within an apartment is triggered.
Designed with durability and flexibility in mind, the unit has been independently IP tested to ensure reliable performance. Installers can select from different sounder options to suit the specific requirements of the application, while multiple knockout points assist with straightforward wiring during installation.
The sounder strobe is available with either a red or transparent lens, offering flexibility to suit a variety of design preferences and installation environments.
Offering a five-year warranty, the introduction of the Espire IP65 mains sounder strobe reinforces ESP’s commitment to providing practical, compliant and installer-friendly fire safety solutions for modern residential developments.
