Clever innovation from Geofire
A new wire-free, digital fire door closer
that uses unique, smart technology to
‘learn’ the sound of a specific fire alarm
has been launched by fire technology
specialists, Geofire.
Easily retrofitted to any door, this
intelligent wire-free closer learns the
sound of your specific fire alarm, releasing
the door in the event of a fire. The closer
is swing-free too, making the door
responsively light to handle, and the simple
answer to legally holding open fire doors to
ease access.
The advanced digital technology that’s
behind Geofire’s new Agrippa wire-free fire
door closer uniquely ‘listens and learns’
the sound of a specific fire alarm. This
ensures the closer’s releasing trigger reacts
only to the precise sound of the fire alarm
rather than extraneous loud noises, so false
activations are virtually eliminated.
The product is being successfully
specified in a range of key sectors where
it is essential to have doors in an open
position at certain times to aid access, but
equally as important to ensure the doors
are closed in the event of a fire.

Other innovations include
extinguishing panels, Voice
Alarm/Public Address systems
for challenging environments
and wireless/energy efficient
Emergency Lighting.
There was also a dedicated
FAAST aspiration detection
zone delivering live
demonstrations. This latest
Honeywell innovation was
the subject of a keynote
presentation in the Security
Forum delivered by Frank Dam,
Sales Manager, Honeywell Fire
Systems.
Frank Dam, one of the keynote
speakers in the Security Forum
outlined the importance of
next generation detection in
challenging environments.
He said, “FAAST offers classleading leading levels of false
alarm immunity, extensive
coverage and integrated
communications and is being
specified in an increasingly
wide range of applications.
Security Essen provides a great
opportunity to communicate
new product developments
and to outline how the latest
technologies can overcome
some of the most challenging
environmental conditions and
provide increased levels of
protection.”
Gintare Budriunaite,
Honeywell’s Marketing
Manager for speciality fire
detection products, added,
“The market for aspiration
detection is changing. Once
the remit of clean rooms
and data centres, it is now
becoming the technology of
choice for industrial locations,
airports, warehouses, shopping
developments and even
power generation and nuclear
facilities. This is thanks to
sophisticated filtration and
optics technologies which
deliver high sensitivity detection
with the highest levels of false
alarm immunity, opening the
door to many other applications
where smoke detection was
difficult or impossible. We are
looking forward to showcasing
the extended FAAST portfolio at
the largest trade show in the fire
and security calendar.”
