Emergency Lighting
Chloride Systems developed an architectural emergency lighting product utilizing high-output white LEDs (Lumileds). Splendore is capable of providing one footcandle average over a 50-foot linear path.
Splendore’s illumination engine is driven by two Luxeon V Star’s white LEDs. When combined with an engineered specular aluminum reflector system manufactured with Miro 4 (Alanod), Splendore maximizes the efficiency of the illumination system. The reflector design can be rotated up to 60 degrees in five-degree increments to satisfy off-vertical mounting applications.
Infrared Illuminator
WizKid OptoTech introduced its latest CCTV product, the cast-aluminum WZ12L infrared illuminator.
The unit can be installed in low-light areas to allow standard monochrome CCTV cameras to acquire video of events up to 50 feet away. The compact, unobtrusive illuminator accommodates a range of applications, including areas that require a low-light ambiance such as laboratories and other research facilities.
High Performance Wireless Alarm
TattleTale is a wireless alarm system that makes emergency calls within 6/10’s of a second, without using a phone line. The unit plugs into a standard power outlet and automatically roams to find cellular service so it can provide 24-hour nationwide wireless alarm monitoring.
To increase on-premise security coverage, up to 16 indoor and outdoor wireless accessories can be added. The wireless accessories have a range of 2,000 feet and a 360-degree range due to 900 MHz spread spectrum technology.
Portable Alarm System
Tattletale Portable Alarm Systems offers an effective solution for job site security. The alarm signal is sent to a 24/7 nationwide monitoring company via Celemetry, a cellular service that, according to the company, is 20x faster than regular cellular service.
Fire Alarm Pull Stations
Safety Technology International Inc. announces a pull station cover, Stopper II, which mounts directly to the wall over an existing pull station. When the cover is lifted, a self-contained alarm sounds, which draws immediate attention to the area. Someone pulling a false alarm will either run or be caught, helping to prevent a false fire alarm.
If service to the pull station is required, the cover’s 9 volt, choice of 95 or 105 decibel internal alarm may be deactivated. The cover does not restrict legitimate fire alarms from being activated. Mounting hardware is provided.
