General information
Hush-ActiV represents a major breakthrough in domestic fire alarm systems because:-
- It’s safer – Hush-ActiV raises the typical level of fire protection in a dwelling from BS 5839-6 Grade D (unmonitored Mains/Battery Alarms) to Grade C (monitored wiring and a central controller)
- It has easy-to-access user controls – the system’s low level controller means there’s no need to stand on a chair to Test or Silence devices
- It’s monitored – All field wiring is monitored for open and short circuit faults and the system’s standby battery and PSU are also monitored for faults
- It’s environmentally-friendly – Hush-ActiV offers a 50% reduction in the mains power consumption of a typical Grade D system, uses less plastic and requires only one replaceable lithium-ion battery per system
- It has low lifetime ownership costs – the system’s separate fire detectors and sounders are less expensive to replace than Mains/Battery Alarms and all smoke detectors have built-in drift compensation to increase service life expectancy
- It requires no intrusive BS 5839-1 maintenance visits – a monthly user/occupant test is sufficient
- It can be used to upgrade a Grade D System with ease – Hush-ActiV utilises the same wiring scheme as most Mains/Battery Alarm solutions
- It is less prone to false alarms – The EN54 design of its detectors make it less likely to false alarm
