Fike Safety Technology has launched the Twinflex VAD (Visual Alarm Device) Sounder, now available in the UK and across Europe. Designed to integrate with the Twinflex 2-wire range, the device delivers audible alerts when a fire alarm system triggers a fire condition, providing warning across commercial and industrial environments.
Designed for installers to help meet BS:5839 Pt1 requirements and compliant with EN54 Pt3 and EN54-23 standards, the Twinflex VAD Sounder Strobe is a 2-wire zone-powered sounder and combined strobe which can be installed on the same zone as the Twinflex ASD detector/sounder and other associated Twinflex devices. This reduces cabling complexity and streamlines setup, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofits.
“The new Twinflex VAD Sounder Strobe which has a flash rate of between 35ms to 110ms and a very low operating current of 144 uA,” said Colin Smith, Fike’s fire manager for UK and Europe. “It builds on our proven Twinflex platform, offering installers and end-users peace of mind through simplified wiring and high-performance audible alerts.”
