Light-based fire alarm device meets Euro standard

Klaxon Signals has developed a new range of fire signalling devices. Sonos Pulse fire beacons and sounder beacons emit a high-brightness pulsating light, complying with the new European standard EN54-23 for visual alarm devices.

By using light, Sonos Pulse beacons reach those who may be audibly impaired, or those working in noisy environments.

Pulse Alert Technology disperses light evenly, providing maximum coverage using minimal consumption. Sonos Pulse devices are designed to fulfil evacuation requirements with just a single device for most rooms, reducing costs and increasing energy efficiency. Sonos Pulse devices use the same base connections as previous models; upgrading existing systems to use EN54-23 compliant products is typically a simple process.

EN54-23 specifies the minimum performance requirements for visual alarm devices. Klaxon Signals has exceeded these requirements.
